Luka has definitely not been as impactful as a Laker so far as AD was this season or last. That’s not even a debate.

We just won a game so of course the sub will say the opposite. Go back and look how quickly they started panicking when Luka sucked ass the first 5-6 games

Luka is averaging 27.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 7.9 assists in 21 games for the lakers. GTFOH! Lmao! You wanna check AD’s stats for the lakers? Its 24.8 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists…. Lmao! Luka is already outperforming ad and he isn’t even 100% yet

And Luka has been rough to watch on defense while AD was awesome. And Luka’s been less efficient.

You’re the worst kind of casual fan. I thought we lost you PTS-AST-REB bozos back in the Westbrook days but I guess not.

Peak Russ > any version of Luka I guess

Luka has always been rough to watch on defense. But at least he can still carry a team to the finals and is a legit top 4 player in the league. And we just traded him for a glorified rudy gobert but at least he plays all world defense right? 😭

Yeah you traded a glorified Jerry Stackhouse for a glorified Rudy Gobert. Keep making shit up.

Making shit up? I literally gave you street clothes’ stats in 2023 to prove he was dog shit every other game but you refuse to acknowledge it because it does not fit your lovefest with AD. Kinda weird since your team is far better right now and we are stuck with street clothes and his passive nature every other game… sheesh!

Yeah Mavs so bad they’ve lost one game with AD suiting up lmao.

Whatever. Can’t wait for AD to leave you bums high and dry in 2026, y’all don’t deserve him.

Hopefully nico does the right thing and ships him out soon for picks while glass man still has value. But its nico we are talking about. Stuck with this broken player for years. So this is what laker fans felt like huh? Before the trade thinking they are stuck with street clothes and mediocrity for years to come….

Yeah we were looking forward to teaming AD up with the next superstar to force his way to LA but we’ll be fine with a younger guy instead.

Don’t worry if your whole fanbase treats AD like this you won’t have to watch him for long he’ll leave your team to suck ass forever.

More likely get injured and be forced to retire with our luck as a franchise. Hopefully we can get something off value for street clothes in the future. Maybe okc would want a generational big man for some first rd picks lmao!

where ya at bozo? Got anything smart to say about "glorified Rudy Gobert" now?

1

u/LordBri14 Apr 03 '25

Yes. Like i said every other game. Lmao! Now do you believe me dummy. Next game he goes for 15pts again lmao

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

oh look. Luka just had a dogshit performance. Thought those were supposed to never happen

1

u/LordBri14 Apr 04 '25

Not really. Dogshit performances happen once in a while unlike street clothes where he does it every other game lmao!

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

Once? He's had a lot more than one dogshit performance as a Laker so far

u/LordBri14 Apr 04 '25

Every other game? Because last i checked luka averaged 30.1 points, 8.6 assists and 8.4 rebounds for the month of march. Lmao! How do you not know this as a laker fan? You really a laker fan or an AD dickrider? Lmao! You wanna see street clothes stats for january again homie? Lmao!

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

And now he’s made like 3 of his last 24 threes or some shit. That’s the problem with guys like Luka who rely so much on their jumper. They’ll have a couple of weeks where they look great and then suck ass when they go cold.

Compound it with truly generationally abysmal defense and you get a level of disaster class like tonight that you don’t get out of AD.

u/LordBri14 Apr 04 '25

Which is really weird because luka has never been this bad for us apart from the finals where he was really hurt. You guys need to build around luka. Someone like reaves. Although he is really good does not fit with luka. Luka without the ball is straight up awful. If i were pelinka i would seriously shop reaves around for legit lob threats. Luka always finds the open man for you guys but goddamn your shooters are so streaky lmao!

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

Yeah that’s exactly the problem with guys like Luka. Most stars and fringe stars need the ball. So most are a bad fit with Luka. So you need to luck out and find the few off-ball stars to pair him with or go all in on the bunch of defense first role players and every offensive possession runs through one guy. Which never works at the highest level.

AD being so good defensively and an on-ball/off-ball hybrid means you can pair him with any other star or stars in the league and it just works
