What I love in many of these examples, is he isnt just swatting the ball into the seats. He is blocking and gaining possession.
So we're paying him just to play defense?
So he's going to all the lack of defense we get from having Luka and AR on the floor together? Can he get out and guard on the perimeter?
Tossing Bron/Bronny out the door was **ALWAYS** the smart move.
Bronny is "improving."
Yeah, I'm improving too.
At Bronny's current rate of "improvement," he'll be NBA ready by 2056.
I'll be right behind him at 2086.
Wish us luck! 👍
Bron is ass.
Bronny is li'l ass.
Bye, fellas! 👋
Good breakdown of his style of rim protection
Bronny is "improving" because he sucks so bad, there's nowhere to go but up.
"Welcome to Lakers Film Room with Pete… Trevor Lane!"
He needs a pump fake 2 and 3 dribble shots added to his game If he learn the skyhook mix with that baby hook would be nice for his overall game both hands those additionally moves
Give us a jake breakdown!
Did it cost a lot? Yes. But do I believe that players who want to play with each other matters and put fit above all else? Also yes. Luka, AR, and Kess are a committed trio. If the players believe it, I will. It's the same reason people believe Kobe and Shaq could have won many more chips, they didn't always desire to play with each other and had drama. They were just so damn good and won despite it 😂 I think the Knicks embody this the best actually, with all that Villanova blood.

Action speak louder than words 😅
Hmmm…. Missed 77 games last year because of shoulder surgery. Should we be more concerned about giving up all those draft picks plus the big contract?
Yeah yeah.
Crazy how AD has been begging for a center in years when he was with the Lakers. But he didn't get any then here comes Luka getting traded to the Lakers. When he ask the front office and Rob Pelinka to get an A list center, Rob Pelinka didn't hesitate and just got Walker Kessler
Because i think if Rob Pelinka didn't do those moves, Luka is obviously gonna leave the Lakers. Rob Pelinka is quickly gonna lose his superstar if he doesn't do major with this roster
the lakers are now austin reaves and (less so) walker kessler's team
kessler gives us an answer to wemby
give us a sandro breakdwon – hes got a lot of optionality
He likes blocking with his left hand. Every time he does, he was jamming his shoulder labrum putting a lot of force on it. No wonder he had that left shoulder labrum tear surgery. I have had two shoulder surgeries, I know. He will tear that surgically repaired left shoulder labrum again if he keep doing that.
I agree, the Lakers got a steal. He is one of the best centers in the NBA. Utah tried to hide him while they were tanking by reducing his playing time, and then tried to low ball him when he was eligible for an extension.
Team of injury guys who play no defense, they bench players to come and start in lakers, lol
Play in loading 😊
Ngl this w boy team ain’t it
He’s fine as a passer. Utah was using him as the initiator of the offense which isn’t his role. The lakers has Austin and Luka for that. Walker can make good passes within his role.
So u just not gonna mention Dodgers getting Skubal? Alright Trev. I see what time you on big fella
The Lakers got a steal with this trade. They didn't give up lottery picks and if you look at the last two firsts before this year, we got Jalen Hood Schifino and Dalton Knecht. If those are the kind of players we had to give up to get Kessler and got him on a decent contract, then there is nothing to hate at all with the Kessler pick up.
wish list from kessler; stay healthy first, imrove free throw per. , be decent passer on short roll passes . and if he decent at least from behind the line he s already what we need . i believe he ll be great with luka and ar on offence nd he was great defensively even in a tanking team now imagşne him in a competitive habitat.
I hope he’s like Gasol in that when he catches the ball down low he doesn’t bring the ball down and keeps it up high.
I know he's great, but I hope his health is actually good and he just played so little cuz the Jazz are tanking scum 😮
