He is also quick as fuck and very skilled inside the paint.

Manu starts for an all time team

And the sneaky ass Manu

He’s not very flashy with his movement unlike other guards but that Floatation device was cash everytime.

Ok this is going too far man I have to step in, say whatever else you want but no one comes close to lakers all time lineup.

Pg: magic, Jerry west, Goodrich Sg: Kobe, Jerry west, cooper SF: Elgin Baylor, lebron, worthy PF: pau, AD C: Kareem, Shaq, wilt, Mikan

I mean come on man what are we doing here lol the real question is lakers all time lineup against people who never played for the lakers

Both can be true

It’s weird to be salty about this. Yes the lakers are also a very fortunate organization.

Although many of the players you mentioned were traded for. It’s weird to describe them as “coming to your team” when the lakers traded for players like Luka.

Kobe was also not drafted by the lakers. I’m being fairly pedantic here, just annoys me that you’re wrong.

But of course the lakers are also an incredibly fortunate organization. Being located in Los Angeles also helps them immensely and is a part of that good fortune.

But having only 3 first overall picks and those 3 first overall picks being the years that you have David Robinson, Tim Duncan, and Wemby come out of the draft is crazy good luck.

Fultz can still be considered a what if because his shoulder exploded and injuries compromised his development.

The real fumble was drafting Marvin Bagley III before Luka “best player in Europe at 18” Doncic.

He wasnt talking about you, he meant Luka, Luka Garza

Bro you’re literally the first throat. If that doesn’t make you the mvp idk what would, goat.

Yeah my fault for thinking our guy is mvp caliber. If wemby started crying earlier maybe he would’ve gone from fourth to first, not just second.

Yeah true, Spurs fans are indeed clowns. Crazy how you’ve managed to leapfrog the Lakers to end up neck and neck with Thunder fans as the most obnoxious this year.

And the quality of the teams they faced. Out of the 12 teams they beat without Wemby, only 2 are playoff teams (not counting the Hawks who were awful pre-trade deadline)

I know he’s capable of those minutes, I’m just not sure he’d stay consistently healthy with those minutes. Even then, 33 minutes a game is still lower than most superstars, only really being possible on exceptionally deep teams that demolish their opponents.

Yes, but those teams were deep to begin with. What I’m saying is that eventually, the team will get a bit thinner on talent, especially with the current CBA making larger contracts very difficult to maintain. In those situations, playing Wemby less than 30 minutes a game is going to start being a serious problem.

Brother. The people up there with him get talked about all the time because they’re MVP candidates.

Because hes young and has a build thats unique? We’ve seen plenty of guys with all the other top players builds, but how many 7’5+ feet tall players have we seen in the league that actually played at this level?

Based on what he’s done this year, why?

Currently or ever?

This year his offensive tools may not be enough to be the best scorer on a title team. But if you think he will never get there that’s a pretty bold claim (barring injuries of course).
