The league doesn't really allow for that type of player anymore. Boozer is as close as an enforcer there is.

With all the holes we have on this team we're worried about an Enforcer?

It's true. Ever since JD left, Lakersground doesn't have an enforcer.

Spurs didn't have an enforcer last season and did just fine.


Spurs have Leonard.

We got Julius who's often compared to a happier Z. Bo.

Leonard is a great defensive player. He is not an enforcer. Do people even know what enforcers are?

An enforcer is the least of the lakers concerns. The lakers need a lot of things. I would take a front office willing to work and rebuild before an enforcer. Plus, an enforcer these days is worthless. Enforcers died in the 80s.

I know what you mean Rivershow. Someone who's going to intimidate the other team with locked down defense or hard fouls. I thought Leonard did that to Lebron is a passive aggressive way. Anyhow I think Randle can be that guy on our team but we'll see.

Boozer ? Not possible without a full-on on-court personality overhaul.

This is 80's/90's thinking. Enforcers don't exist anymore.


Yup.

Unless that enforcer was a skilled KG!


You have got to be kidding me. KG is the fakest tough guy the league has ever seen.

Im also confused that he is even being brought up as an enforcer. If you just look at him, it would be easy to assume he's a bruiser but he's the furthest thing from it. We're talking about a guy who got outmuscled by Pau regularly.

Who cares about having enforcers ? That feels like issue #83 of 100 in terms of importance when writing a success plan for a franchise rebuild. I care a helluva lot more that we have a coach with a career losing record in thirteen years as an NBA head coach.
