Serbia is still going to be a very tough out with best player in the world Joker, Bogey etc. Past game vs USA they were up 10-2 and from 3 USA shot 18-32 while Serbia shot 9-37. If USA shoots normal 11-32 (37.5% which is actually still solid) and Serbia normal 14/37 (37.8%) that’s a 33 point swing. 18-32 and 9-37 is not going to happen again realistically.
Also Serbia was 81-81 in 31 mins Jokic played and out scored 29-3 in the 9 mins he sat (shows his impact). What if he plays all 40 mins in semi finals or 38 mins instead of 31?
Again US should absolutely win (assuming Serbia beats Australia as 7 point favorites), but it’s far from a gimme game with 3P variance especially with how bad Steph has been shooting. I just think Serbia is a tougher out than ppl realize. Yes we won by 26, but it was even with Joker on floor and Godly 3P shooting vs horrid 3P shooting game 1. Serbia with Jokic Bogey (put up 6th man of the year type stats and is like Schroder on Germany for Serbia) Jovic Micic are 4 NBA players with Jokic one of GOAT in heart of prime (29 yrs old) if they are hitting 3s can beat anyone. Gonna come down to that 3P line.
They got silver at 2023 Fiba WITHOUT Jokic! They also have one of best coaches in the world. Don’t sleep on Serbia
It's not cryptic if you understand Hip Hop. "Don't push me, 'Cause I'm close to the edge…"
I wonder if Rob is scouting the Olympics. I don't like Grant on any level, pistons don't have a big?
Just subscribed to Sean's new channel. Hope he is successful.
9:29 so if his contract is this atrocious, why don’t the Blazers have to send the Lakers a pick to take him on?? They can get an expiring contract in Dlo and a possible rotation player on a good rookie deal in JHS or whatever else makes sense
Been saying Rui needs to stay a Laker dude was under utilized under Ham he should be avg 20 pts a game if he gets enough FGA
I haven't been here for a few weeks. Still just trying to trade dlo and or rui for minimal upgrades eh? Solid.
Just go get Demarcus and Dwight from oversees
I wouldn't trade DLo unless you're getting a decent or better point guard.
only find a center for AD.
Jerami is not worth a single pick. Jerami is not even worth a straight up swap for Rui. Jerami Grant's usage rate was 25.5 as the first option on a losing team. There is no way he'd get that usage as a third or fourth option on a team with LeBron and A.D. Rui's usage is 18.5. bigger, stronger, and has better motor than Grant. No way to trading a pick for an albatross of a contract on a 30-year old who will be, at best, the 4th best offensive player on this team (He's not better than D-Lo offensively, not close) and will contribute nothing on the boards or on defense.
What’s the cat’s name? Need to hear their take on the off season.
Very boring show😂
I concur, don't do it.
Why the fuck we talking about ayton over paid an selfish
I'd 💯 prefer kuzma over Jeremy grant. Better defence better rebounds, much better contract and they've won a championship together! I'd even willing to pay more for kuzma than for grant
D Ayton is the softest big man in the league! I’ll take Jaxon Hayes on a minimum over him.
For four yours Trevor has ignored that not everyone between point guard and center is a wing. There is an actual definition for the word wing. 4 years of making it up as he goes along is so aggravating.
almost every lakers fans are saying trade rui but i guarantee you guys will regret it.
I like Rui and I think he plays well with Lebron and AD. I’m not sure Grant would play that well in LA. We all know that there are players that do not play well under the bright lights and pressure of LA. The Lakers have traded and signed a lot of players that played very well on other teams but struggle under the Lakers’ pressure. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
Rui is a 4 not 3 and he's much younger than him…
Rui hachimura can score more than 20 pts and 40% 3pts shooting at other teams.
Trade Max, JHS , and Vincent
Lakers is fine if both AD and Lebron are healthy
.
Zero % chance the Lakers land Allen. The Lakers don't have the player or draft assets.
Keep Dlo and rui Trade reddish and wood thats the realest thing to do here
i HAVE SEEN SOME DECENT NON NBA PLAYERS AT THE OLYMPICS THAT CAN BE CHEAPER AND MORE USEFUL THAN SOME OF THESE OVERRATED NAMES
Trade Rui and DLo for Lonzo and Caruso
“It’s hard for you and the fans to see AD and LeBron play against and beat non NBA players without saying they have a shot” What a genius… such well versed and logical fans… Your team bad stop lying to yourselves and pray for a miracle
if this lakers team isnt good enough to win a chip and it looks like there are zero trades out there to improve us to a true contender then there is no other option than to blow it up
DAngelo is not going anywhere primarily as he is not in demand -Grant financially is overpriced
I agree – Grant isn't much better than Rui and he's 4 years older and his salary is much higher. Giving up Rui and a first for him would be a really dumb move. Same with Cam Johnson. The only forwards I would include in a trade for Rui for are Brandon Ingram or Lauri Markkanen – all of the others mentioned aren't enough of an improvement over Rui to be worth trading for. And DFS is a scrub – Rui is far better.
whats up with Sean Davis departure????
I am really disappointed with Trevor and Lakers nation for their complicity and lack of real criticism towards Pelinka Buss and the Front office. Lakers have the Goat LBJ, Anthony Davies. With a couple of moves they could be titles contended and rhey do NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And instead of turning the Heat on Rob Pelinka Trevor lane indulges in stupid and unproductive talks. YOU SHOULD CRITICIZE AND PUT PRESSURE ON, PELINKA EVERY SHOW, be the VOICE OF THE FANS DISCONTENT. INSTEAD YOU SAY NOTHING, do nothing. puppets
WALKER KESSLER
FOR GABE VINCENT AND A FIRST AND SECOND ROUND PICK
5 minutos of new news and 28 of the same old same old this coul have Ben a small video even a short.
I wouldn’t trade Gabe Vincent in a Grant deal! Rui and a first is more than enough!
Ik nobodys gonna read this. But sad luck to lakers…if ull want to buy someone…buy josh hawkinson….not just cauz hes shooting 75percent 3p in the Olympics on 9/14…second only to KEVIN DURANT…not cause hes shooting 80%FT….not cauz he can block and steal at a high rate….the guy fits with lebron…japanese dude….he wud bring out the best in rui too…undrafted 2017…hes improved so much since then….if lakers want to win and not just be a fake club…get him….hes d upgraded version of dalton knecht
if Ayton (if trade does goes through) plays, AD has to be able to shoot again
Omg…I love the channel…but man you were rambling and rambling and rambling.
id do rui and 1 second MAX for grant and even then id have to think about it long and hard. grant isnt much better defensively than rui and hes older with only downhill potential from here on out. rui could hit another level, hes only 26 and provides a lot of whatjerami does offensively for cheaper too
Ayton and simmons
