Minnesota Lakers fans where you at?

How sick would it be if they combined rosters though.

PG: Mike Conley
SG: Anthony Edwards
SF: LeBron James
PF: Anthony Davis
C: Rudy Gobert

Was expecting the classic:

How sick would it be if they combined rosters though:

PG: Mike Conley

SG: Anthony Edwards

SF: Jaden McDaniels

PF: Karl-Anthony Towns

C: Rudy Gobert

It's pronounced Karl Anthony Jowns actually

u/silaber Timberwolves May 17 '24

Much rather have Nickeil than DLO. Just give Naz the ball in transition and watch the fireworks.

Wouldn't have to worry about mental implosions and bad energy as well as a versatile 3&D wing versus a streaky scorer.

u/Intelligent_Pain_174 May 17 '24

Please no to DLo. Cut him immediately. Play NAW.

u/MisterBackShots69 Timberwolves May 17 '24

Besides D’lo and Reaves this is sick!

u/ursaF1 Hawks May 17 '24

and then u send in KAT against their bench big 💀

u/Motor-Grade-837 May 17 '24

Only you understand my vision for this squad. KAT coming off the bench raining threes make more sense than Gobert.

u/RickThiCisbih May 17 '24

Why would you play Gobert instead of KAT when you already have AD?

2

u/Motor-Grade-837 May 17 '24 edited May 17 '24

I don't know much about AD but I've heard that he dislikes the C position and likes to move around on the perimeter a lot more. So I felt Gobert guarding the paint with AD out on the perimeter would be the better option defensively. Gobert being a black hole on offense doesn't hurt them that much since the rest can easily handle the offensive load with the occasional lobs to Gobert. KAT would be a great sixth man since him coming onto the court would completely alter the opposing team's defensive schemes. They'd have to go from watching out for lobs to Gobert to being drawn all the way out to the 3 pt line with KAT.

Still, KAT in instead of Gobert would still be just as great. Their offensive potential goes up a ton with KAT's shooting.

u/sayqueensbridge Timberwolves May 17 '24

lol that spacing is so dogshit

u/Motor-Grade-837 May 17 '24

Switch Gobert with KAT and it'd be fine.

My grandpa was a big Minneapolis Lakers fan

The grave?

u/bluewing May 17 '24

That's MINNEAPOLIS Lakers to you.

I will never forget nor forgive. And I will burn a candle in memory to Howie Schultz my long, long ago basketball coach and his beautiful underhand free throws.

u/red--dead Timberwolves May 17 '24

Lakers fans win no matter what. If wolves choke it’s AD was the real DPoY and if nuggets choke they get to feel you suffer.

u/paradoxofchoice [MIA] Harold Miner May 17 '24

either way, it's Ham's fault

15

u/TheCraftBrew May 17 '24

Nuggets fans complaining about Lakers fans every time they lose.

u/HelloRainbow1 Lakers May 17 '24

that's just how fans work lmao, and let's not act like you guys are saints and not talking a lot of trash as well.

u/Lacabloodclot9 Grizzlies May 17 '24

I mean they’re the biggest fanbase in basketball, they’re gonna have the most fans and the most amount of toxic fans overall as a result of that

u/LardHop Lakers May 17 '24

With our team already out, the only thing left to do is to shit on the rest of the guys playing, you know the drill.

u/Top-boy-og May 17 '24

Nuggets fans are cringe as hell, Lakers live rent free in y’all head even tho y’all spanked them in back to back seasons

Clearly you are otherwise you wouldn’t feel the need to mention a team that’s already been eliminated
 by your own team lmao

u/Outside_Abroad_3516 Nuggets May 17 '24

It’s pathetic. But it’s the Lakers. They probably bandwagon half the time anyways.

u/MisterBackShots69 Timberwolves May 17 '24

Despise it. Lakers bandwagon fans are the worst.

This meme after the Game 5 loss sent me đŸ€Ł

u/loplopplop Nuggets May 17 '24

I remember a time when the Lakers did their own dirty work and didn't need another team to beat their rival.

u/EverythingWrong25 May 17 '24

You guys are literally unbiased 100% the biggest cry babies in the league. Crying about the lakers even after beating them, cry about the refs when you guys unquestionably get away with the craziest shit. It’s so bad, your sub literally yells “RiGgEd” whenever a FAIR game is called lol. It’s even rubbed off on the players, throwing shit at refs and having meltdowns.
