He is either the second or third best big man (along with washed Marc Gasol) the Lakers have had since getting AD.
Maybe the first return, but the second return he was just awful.
By DY_nasty Go To Postlakers fans can't even tell you why dwight was the problem lol
had to trade for a half a whole roster since then and still needed a ref miracle to make the playoffs
Are you serious? Did you watch Dwight in his return in 21-22?
Dude was getting bullied constantly. Couldn’t rebound, block, and struggled to even dunk if there was a defender near him.
The team was a mess with or without Dwight, but even when he was with us he was a non-existent entity.
Was embarrassing see him slowly joke up the court.
yal defense was ass top to bottom because that roster was 3 placeholders deep at every position. and he was still rebounding well above league average
fired vogel over nothing too

Dude is a defensive coach, his job to get the team to play better defence. And I don’t want to hear that it is up to a player to player defence. Just excuses coaches.
His rotations were fucking awful too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of those Dwight rebounds came in garbage time because he wasn’t doing anything when it mattered.

This roster and the volatility of it means it is fundamentally broken
Carmelo and Avery Bradley were some of the steadiest guys on that team. Anywhere else, something like that is seen as blatant tanking. There isn't any way a role player fixes or diminishes anything when a team is so fucked up. And the funny thing is, they were expected to win no more than 35 games in the first place.
That is an amazing assembly of all-nba 300th team defenders

That was a bad Laker team, but Vogel was just collecting a paycheck because he wasn’t coaching shit. Caused instability with his changes to the lineup every fucking game.
And it doesn’t matter how shit the Lakers were, Dwight was still not very good. It was sad seeing him out there.
By masud Go To Postthe east is so shallow lol. anyone can make it to the conference finals.
WTF is happening? I feel like we're being set up for the long troll…
Swapped Obi for DiVincenzo. But they were a much better team after adding Hart last year who they'll now have for the whole season. There's reason to believe they'll be a better regular season team, but I don't know about the ECF.

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThey're probably expecting growth from Quickley, Grimes and BarrettI feel like Grimes is fine. He’s a good defender who is probably our best 3 point shooter besides Brunson
He plays his role well. Unfortunately not everyone can be a star and he’s not gonna have many touches after Brunson and Randle dribble the air out of the ball.
And don’t get me wrong, I love JB, but he makes Kobe look like John Stockton sometimes
By masud Go To Postbrunson is a star, people gotta stop acting like he isnt and that we need a star.

Grimes is nice, hes got some two way potential but like you said he's not seeing the ball with Randle and RJ out there too. I think Quickley is overrated though and kind of redundant with Grimes there.
You can ask Smokey I was saying Brunson would be a 20+ guy back when the Knicks signed him.
I wish we could have seen this guy ball out in FIBA this summer:
He already sees FIBA-like defenses in the NBA.

One of the rawest hoopers I ever met in college was a Mormon. That shit was hilarious his whole reputation changed in an instant after one day of playing ball at the rec. He was getting runs in with the actual team by the end of the year.

When I went to college I met this white kid from upstate, he was from north of Saratoga springs. He looked like he grew up on a farm and was named Colt, not sure if that was his real name or a nickname but he was really really pale and about 6'0". We went to the courts to get some runs in and he joined us saying he was pretty good at ball and we were like aight we'll see. Man this kid jumped like prime Derrick Rose, it was the most wtf moment I've had in basketball, cause he got out on a break off a turnover and took off one footed from way out and cocked the ball back like he was LeBron. The whole game damn near stopped cause he was so unassuming looking, all the white dudes I had played basketball with that could dunk looked like it or were really tall.
He ended up hanging out with us in the Bronx when we were on winter break and we'd take him to runs and rec centers to play 🤣

Lmao it was some shit exactly like that. Before we hooped with my friend we just knew him as a really unassuming skater. Afraid to talk to girls. Real awkward in general but a nice guy. We got him out on the court and dude wore his regular skater shit and some SB Dunks and when I say this dude let the animal out. Posterizing people, pinning people shit on the backboard, jumper was water, fundamentals were tight but he had sauce too. Shit was hilarious cause he wasn’t barking on anyone at all. Just serving on both ends of the court and at the end of the run talking about “ah man that was fun I missed playing ball”
Our RA thought we were pranking him when we told him about it until he saw it for himself one day.
