How is he gonna play with a guy oh the bench all the time? Lol
Do you think the Lakers actually start winning games before they get credit for how well they drafted? I'm not saying that they drafted poorly but it does seem a bit premature to give them credit for drafting well at this stage.
No because they are not at the same level.
This "debate" started because a Lakers fan tried to use stats to claim that they were similar players.
You can’t believe any reports. Listen to Woj. He is usually spot on. All these rumors are fuj and all but are mostly BS
I was told that the Spurs should thank their lucky stars if LA is willing to trade Ingram for Kawhi only.

The Lakers are on the move as they acquire a pick from Philadelphia and may select the players or put together a package deal to move up as teams are wanting to move down.
Lakers Reportedly Trade 2019 2nd-Round Pick to 76ers for No. 39 Overall Pick
Actually, the exact opposite of that.
Kyrie is a scorer first second and third. He is looking to create his own offense. Lonzo Ball, while not nearly on Kyrie's level overall is a much better facilitator than Kyrie.
If you want to talk about which player's point guard does more to create opportunities for them, the answer is Kuzma.
Warriors didn't start winning until Steph's second contract (6th seed). That's the time frame for the Lakers now, with Randle hitting his second contract. Had they not been run by short Buss for too long, they may have made the playoffs by now, but that's old crap now (thank god he's gone). It was always going to be tough once Kobe retired, and bottoming out seems to be the rebuilding plan for most these days. Sixers definitely jumped up quicker, props to them.
Not one person has said they were on the same level.
You need to make up your mind. Did he say they were on the same level?
Or did he say they were similar and use stats to back it up?
Or maybe you could just show us where the Lakers fan touched you?
If you sign Lebron and Paul George, you don't wait around for a year to sign Kawhi. Things can change in a year. The Lakers weren't aggressive in trying to get George, and there's a realistic possibility that George may re-sign in OKC, which could impact Lebron's decision.
You are arguing semantics now to defend a silly argument. Here is what Shopson said....
"Individually, obviously Tatum is the best of the bunch thus far (although I would argue Kuzma is a very similar player),"
Maybe he wasn't trying to create an equivalency but it sure looked like it.
Won't happen because then you won't be able to sign Kawhi to a max contract then.
I wasn't. It's the same problem whenever somebody compares a lesser player to a better player. There should be no problem in comparing; it's equating that's problem.
It would be a S&T next year if they already have 2 max contracts on hand.

Isn't Magic himself out there telling everyone PG and LBJ are coming
