Lakers dont win this series without those crucial Bronny buckets early in the series.

lol not a joke but not super serious. Bronny was actually an impactful player and we won his minutes

His ²⁄₂ for 5 points in game 3 was actually crucial

Don’t forget he was the primary defender on about 7 possessions that game and was only scored on once or twice.

There was also a harious play when sengun screened for bari to get Bronny on the switch and Bronny locked up bari who looked for a bailout pass under the basket and because he had Bronny and Vando right in front of him, and lebron stepping forward from behind them, he tossed it way over everyone’s head right out of bounds

Can’t wait for the RDCworld skit where Lebron finally comes full circle and realise some of his former bum team mates despite scoring low were still effective.

Unironically I’d rather have Bronny on my team than Zach Lavine, especially taking contract into account

Lavine’s contract is only useful for a team trying to tank next year. Or maybe not, depending on if they change lottery odds.

Good lord, he still has a year left? Why does it feel like Zach Lavine has been on a max contract for 8 years?

I think Lavine would look insane on the lakers playing alongside LeBron and Luka. Lob threat, runs the floor and can shoot. He’ll never be the main guy but he can be a key piece on a championship team

Dj Mbenga has more rings than Luka and jokic combined.

Another insane stat.

To think Zion was proclaimed to be more dominant than Lebron…only for Lebrons’ own son to out do him like this…

More playoff minutes than Zion and Lauri

There’s a weird range of players where they are too good to be paid a role player salary, but too bad to win as your star. I’d love to see “losing player” Zach Lavine as the third best player on a team like the Pistons, Blazers, Warriors, Knicks, Pacers, or Thunder. I think he’d be a solid contributor.

OpeDefinitely | Pacers

I don’t see it. Think he’d end up in a Kuminga-like situation on the Warriors and Pacers in particular.

Charlie_Wax | Warriors

If Kuminga shot 39% from 3 on 6 attempts per game, GS never would’ve traded him.

Lavine would be a better Mathurin for you.

The problem is opportunity cost. Dude can ball, but only when you let him play like a number 1 way more often than any team should allow a 3rd option to play like a number 1.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/international/teams/united-states/2020.html

He ranked 7th on the 2020 USA Olympic team in minutes, but 5th in ppg, shooting a very efficient 45% from 3 on 3.7 attempts. Very small sample size, but that’s proof of concept that he can work as an efficient second or third scorer on the court in a balanced team setup.

His skill set is very scheme-versatile because every team in the NBA wants efficient 3 point shooting. The problem is that he is too good to be paid like a role player, but not good enough to carry as the main star. On a 25M salary as the third option, he would’ve been great.

He is incorrectly stereotyped as a losing player because he’s been cast in the wrong role throughout his career on talent-poor teams.

OpeDefinitely | Pacers

You’ve not sold me, but on most teams, he’s probably worth trying on a 2 year/$50m deal or something like that. His single biggest flaw is his fukn contract.

On the Pacers in particular, IDK if I like LaVine over Nesmith. They’d fill the same niche. Nesmith (when healthy) is an incredible 2-way player who is capable of 50-40-90 splits and whose game perfectly meshes w/ Tyrese. Also Zubac is the “3rd option” & another piece could be coming in the draft.

That’s the issue.

Around ²⁰¹⁹⁄₂₀₂₀ so many teams started giving 2/3rd best player generational money because they knew they’d lost them otherwise. Way to many players making 40-50+ mil

On the Knicks he’d be the fourth or fifth best player lol. He’d probably be fourth on the pistons too. Maybe he’d be third on Indiana, depends on if you think nembhard is better

Lauri the type of player who would happily retire with zero playoff series wins so long as he gets paid.

Reddit NBA’s favorite thing is taking unnecessary shots at players to try to put them down. All those players have nothing to do with this series you’re just cherry-picking a chance to call out players’ shortcomings. It’s just sad.

Haven’t followed basketball in a few years and I don’t understand why this is so impressive when Bron is supposedly one of the best players ever

Bronny James with his recent playoff win over the rockets, now has more playoff series wins than Zion Williamson, Zach Lavine, Lauri Markkanen combined.
