How do you mess this up


If you look into a vacuum you are right. But I followed OKC over the years and it'a a little more complicated.

Westbrook, Durant and Harden played a final together when they were 23y old and lost to Miami trio. Nothing to be ashamed, they were too young and underdogs.
The same year they lost Harden because the owner didn't want to pay the tax. Presti has no other option here.
From 2013-2016 with Durant, Westbrok and Ibaka they had a lot of bad luck. Actually the only year when they were all of them healthy in playoffs was in 2016. And they chocked a 3-1 lead against GSW. For 4 and half games I believed GSW had no chance against OKC. They were more athletic and more agressive. But suddently Klay made a few unbelievable 3-points and Durant and Westbrook chocked massively. And the series was over. In that summer Durnt left for GSW and was over.
It could be the same for Lakers or Clippers if in the next 3 years in the playoffs one of the big boys is hurt. You have no chance.


After my poor opinion Presti made 2 mistakes.
One is his fetish for athleticism. It's not a mistake per se, but he kind a ignore other aspects. For example many of them were bad shooters (Robertson, Grant,Diallo). They were always a team without enough 3-point shooters.
Another thing. They always have at least big contract, who ate their cap (Ibaka, Perkins,Adams) and blocked the possibilty to reshape the roster. Maybe would have better to keep only Westbrook and Durant on big money and the rest of the cap to find the right pieces along them. They never had enough flexibility.


Giving perkins that ridiculous contract (which prevented harden from subsequently being signed) was Presti's first big mistake.


we can all thank Pau Gasol for that. i have no doubt OKC made that move because they thought Perkins can equalize Pau.

Yes, i am sure that every move OKC has made has been with the Lakers in mind.


The one that mattered (overpaying for pekins) was.

When that guy listed all the super guard teams... I wondered how their big men were.

Utah's seems like they have only Gobert
People seem to be sleeping on Portland
Houston's isn't good
GSW depends on if WCS has a breakthrough
Clippers is okay but nothing special unless Zubac turns into a beast
Denver's is only good if MPJ breaks out
Spurs only have Aldridge
Timberwolves only have Towns

The key again is Boogie. If he plays like last season... there's no edge with the bigs... if he plays close to his past... we have the best combo.

So Lakers... best big trio? Or will it be Portland or Denver?
Clippers... best wings?
Rockets... best guards?

The question I wonder, is whether the paradigm can be shifted back to a big man dominated league.

Is it possible to play a combination of mobile bigs like AD/McGee/Kuzma/Green/LBJ... and overwhelm them with size?

Or would the tiny guards run circles around them?... would the wings even be too quick?

Has 6' 6" to 6' 8" become the perfect size for a basketball player? Or can you play combinations of 6 foot 9 to 7 feet players and beat them?

I wonder if a game plan can be devised to use the size advantage to win a championship... or has the three point line balanced things too far in favor of guards and wings?

As long as we run teams off the 3 point line we will be fine. They won't drive all the way into our big guys and will be forced to live with mid range jumpers. The guards need to be aggressive on defense, like how Bradley plays. It won't matter if they get beat off a dribble or picked off a screen, there will be giants behind them.

I'm very curious to watch Bradley from the perspective of a Lakers fan.

I've heard he was pretty good in Boston... but I only saw them a couple times a year so I never really noticed him.

It's amazing that they used to play Bradley and IT together... but as we've seen with Toronto... and even Portland... you can still be successful with short dynamic guards.

The guards need to be aggressive on defense, like how Bradley plays. It won't matter if they get beat off a dribble or picked off a screen, there will be giants behind them.


Those giants have to be quick enough to rotate and help the helper though. When AD rolls over to block a driving wing, who is going to switch over to AD's man? Cousins is a bit heavy footed and Lebron quit playing defense years ago.

We don't want guards attacking AD all game long and getting him in foul trouble. It's critical to be able to stop the point of attack.

Bradley seems to play excellent pick n roll defense on tape, but we're giving up size against longer wings. KCP's defensive potential seems limited by his low IQ. Green has the combo of high IQ and active hands/feet.

This is where I think having a defensive minded coach like Vogel can make the difference.

When people wonder why sometimes I'll get triggered and start making comments defending the young core.

It's because of comments like these.

No one's talking about them... yet here we go.

I won't talk about them now... but this is how it sometimes starts.

No one's talking about them... yet here we go.

I won't talk about them now... but this is how it sometimes starts.


Not even sure what is at issue here. Our predominant concern was maintaining cap space at all costs. I think you're creating something out of nothing.

And unless you were gone for the past 5 years, every summer it was "cap space" and "sacred cap space." We had some young players, but we obviously showed that we were looking for more developed and established stars (b/c Lakers suck at cultivating young players).

Lakers MVP for 2015-19...#19, "CAP SPACE."

“Cap space” got us Lebron and AD and back to contention. If Lebron didn’t come, it would have been Kawhi and PG.
