TNT literally gave him the nickname.

I know. I'm saying him always being hurt wasn't an issue with anyone nationally until he got to the Lakers.

It is pretty crazy to see what Lebron has come. He can still score with the best of them but really just doesn’t give a shite about anything else. He’s the last one back on defense and basically did nothing on that end to contribute. You can really tell that he’s given up on winning but is still chasing the record book

He’s old. He’s played the most minutes in nba history. At some point it’s going to take a toll somewhere.

He’s still scoring but the other aspects of his game are suffering.

And losing takes it’s toll mentally. If things don’t change for the Lakers next year, and I don’t see a way they do, I could see that being the end.

It would take him jumping on an absolutely loaded team to be successful again. Things will just get harder on him physically and the mindset is already gone.

Fear not. The dumbest man in media, Kendrick Perkins, has a solution.

Grizz fans getting nervous about that first-round pick. Lakers now project to finish tied for 10th-worst record. Best-case (11th pick!) vs. worst case (Cleveland's '22 second and Lakers' '25 second) could come down to a coin flip!

Wouldn't we still get the pick if they won the lottery? So even if they finish 11th if they moved up into the top 4 we'd get the pic?

Thanks, was just trying to understand the coin toss deciding on if Memphis got the pic or not.

We can’t win the lottery and the ship with our own pick, bro. UNPOSSIBLE!

We will have to settle for LA winning the lottery. After all, we are a poverty franchise and all…

I think it's more if the Lakers finish 10th and then it turns into a coin flip situation and they lose (meaning they get 11th) we lose the pick.

In the event this happens, now way do we use both picks. A trade will definitely go down.

I actually think we land #1 we are trading back and accumulating more assets to only get the guy we wanted all along - my hopes are that it's Jaden Ivey

Problem with that scenario is that you have to have two or more teams eyeing the same player and trying to jump the other.

Occasionally you get a dumbass like when Philly jumped LA to get Fultz when LA was going to get Lonzo anyway, but that is rare.

I'm salty that Griffin didn't fully lottery protect the pick. We already gave them a 7 pick upgrade last draft

The Lakers are 6-14 since Desmond Bane said "Them footsteps ain't scaring nobody."

Only the Rockets have fewer wins in that span.

Damn, so did the Pels break the Lakers or did the Grizzlies?

Hmm...
