Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted January 25, 2019 Question about Hart. Lakers fans hype him up like crazy this summer. Averages 16ppg the first 5 games. His season completely crashes. He's getting big minutes. He's playing with LeBron, he's playing without LeBron. He's averaging 9 ppg and 34% shooting. He's almost 24. He's 6 months older than Aaron Gordon. Is he hurt? Is it a style of play thing? Is he just bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve stated many times that management and coaching aren’t on the same page Deflecting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have no money for a point guard if you keep Ross. If you don't keep Ross you have right around 14 million for a new point guard which can get you third tier free agents which might be fine. But you have 50 ppg you need to replicate from this team. That's kind of a precarious position to put yourself in for a guy who's found the doghouse of two coaches now. And he's not really playing well either. I think Vuc to Charlotte really makes sense. But I wouldn't take monk for Batum. I'd try to take back Marvin or MKG instead and reroute monk to Dallas for DSJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, Fournier is putting better numbers and is like 1-2 years older than him. He is just in that LA market where all olayers are hyped and considered to be future stars. Ball is another example. The potential to be a great player is there but not yet. Yet, he is already considered and all star by many LA fans and media. I need to go back and compared Paytons numbers to Ball. They might be pretty similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hart got all his fame and hype by being a summer league superstar for the Lakers for the past 2 years and dominating players that were not as physically ready or as game experienced as he is.

I really like that SA one and like the blazers deal if we can get Collins and a pick that would be pretty good value for Ross. Collins would be an upgrade over Martin at backup power forward and Turner wouldn’t be that bad since he is expiring next year. Their pick would probably be in the late teens early 20s.

Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted January 25, 2019 I think it would help us in the long run to lose our games between now and the AS break. That would give WeHam additional credibility to trade a probable AS in Vooch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually like Collins, but we so desperately need to upgrade our guard positions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably cannot get into the top 4 lottery teams this year but maybe can get to #5 and then with luck have the ping pong balls bounce our way. I hope Weltman is looking forward to the draft because he is looking to have multiple first round picks because we actually traded our vets. When you know your current roster will not get you deep into the playoffs (like Memphis has determined) it is time to change your current roster. We are there. Already have Cleveland's 2nd rounder which will probably be the first pick in the 2nd round. If we got a lucky ping pong bounce I slightly prefer Barrett but Zion would be a close 2nd. The one thing we know is Zion and Barrett will go 1 and 2 or vice versa. Yes it's so easy to feel this way. Not only that but count me in, two months from now all i will talk about is the draft. The draft is such a crapshoot. We seemingly just miss out on the player we want every year. Last years Washington Wizards game, along with Luka and Trey dropping to right before we pick. Maddening, one of the worst two moments for this Magic Fan in years. I guess i'm saying it's time to make our own luck. The last 6 years plenty of teams have made trades and made the playoffs just by being more proactive then everyone else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The second-year guard has connected on 62-of-135 (45.9 percent) from the field during the 537 minutes that he has played alongside James. The Lakers have outscored their opponents by 7.8 points per 100 possessions when Hart has appeared on the court with James. But as noted by Alex Regla, no one on the Purple and Gold has struggled quite like Hart in the time he has spent without the King. Hart is in the midst of a brutal sophomore slump. He is shooting a dreadful 84-of-220 (38.1 percent) in the 663 minutes that he has played without James. Los Angeles has been outscored by 3.2 points per 100 possessions when Hart has appeared without James so far this season. https://www.google.com/amp/s/lebronwire.usatoday.com/2019/01/14/lebron-james-injury-los-angeles-lakers-news-josh-hart/amp/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
