It's funny how Kyrie is a huge Kobe fan and grew up idolizing him while Lonzo grew up idolizing Lebron |

Is it bad that I wouldn't be so disagreeable if by freak chance LAL was able to land Kyrie and PG13 instead of LeBron because of the age thing? _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Those are fresh!
Great homage to Kobe as well in those shoes as well as Bruce Lee. Nice to see Kyrie's got the #mambamentality |
Kobe logo? Woah.
Man. Kyrie loves Kobe more than he loves Lebron. heh. |

My fave players in the league are kyrie and Westbrook, since Kobe retired. Mamba mentality! And their style of play of taking over a game. Yeah it's not efficient and team ball, but it's so entertaining. Much better bball to watch drives, post up play than a bunch long 3 pointers.
I'm a season ticket holder and the couple of GSW games I've seen were boring. Run up the court throw up a three and repeat. It wins games but is not exciting to watch. KD has made them more watchable though. |

I've always liked Kyrie...
All jokes aside this is pretty dope! I can't think of any of athletes collars on a shoe before. Really unique |

He's an elite one demensional player...
I'm torn on that one.
At this moment along PG I'd want LeBron, RW, Kyrie... In that order. |

Not at all.
Kyrie would definitely fit next to Lonzo. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

That would put so much pressure on Ingram and George's perimeter D though. |

If Kyrie could play even a little defense, then it would be great.
Selfishly, I would rather have PG13 and any one of Cousins, Irving, etc over LeBron just because of the age gap and well...(bleep) Lebron. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

We all know that Lonzo needs a ball-handling shot creator. In that spot, the Lakers have Vander Blue, Jordan Clarkson...
Kyrie is the most efficient at it. I really don't think he's as one-dimensional as most think; rather he played that role best to fit Cleveland. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I don't even understand why we're even worried about Ingram's or George's defense when the Lakers haven't even been a .500 team in forever.
At least with Irving/George, there's time, even past GSW's window. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I would prefer Irving/George to Lebron/George as well.
Lonzo has he size to guard 2 guards anyways. The problem is there is no way for us to trade for Kyrie |

There is. I just highly doubt Magic is willing to make an offer. There's no way LeBron comes here if Kyrie is already a Laker. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Who Mike? Maglinka ain't trading Ball or Ingram from what they've said. And I don't see any of our other guys being enough |
