      I mean honestly clarkson has a bargain contract he led us with scoring last year and he was outplaying most people on the team this year.... and Larry nance is a future allstar... I liked him... idk. It could be a good thing or it could really hurt us in the end. Only time shall tell

    IT's been acting like a prick, but damn that dude got put into a pretty shitty situation. For a dude that size, you know he had work damn hard to convince all the doubters and make it to the NBA. He didn't get any respect or recognition for what he did in Sacramento and when he finally balled out in Boston and entering his contract year, he get injured, traded, and has come back to the most dysfunctional team in the NBA. He was pretty much setup to fail once Boston traded him.

    • @jifyum07
      @jifyum07 6 років тому +10

      He did this to himself. He ran his mouth in Cleveland when he had no seniority to. And let’s be real IT is no superstar. He can only do so much at that size before hurting himself.

    • @PapiBryce
      @PapiBryce 6 років тому +8

      Chili Sauce cavs need to put some respect on his name. You all didn’t show any love for him at all and he didn’t want to stay. Why would he not talk shit about a team that doesn’t even want him. We finna show him that 💜💛💜💛 out here.

    • @elizabethgeorge168
      @elizabethgeorge168 6 років тому

      As a Kings fan, I can tell you that Sacramento loves him. Unfortunately, our management sucks at drafting and developing talent. We were also stacked with guards and couldn't do much with him at the time 😕

    • @1026779

    • @JM-qt5mg
      @JM-qt5mg 6 років тому +17

    • @shawnchia3611
      @shawnchia3611 6 років тому +7

    I overall like I.T. & think he deserves a FAIR shot somewhere & media has been WAY too hard & critical on him, when he clearly has never even gotten back to 100% or his normal game flow... ;
    this is the '1'[ trade i've been saying i would like for him, the last week. to lakers...
    cavs need the youth & fresh look, energy.... I.T. will fit great in LA, be a playmaker, have more of a leadership role.. be respected more!
    He will adapt & be a great team player & u know what 'screw lebron'!!! Lakers are better off w/out somebody like that... stick w/ the young guys & core and add some talented stars but humble low key guys, like durant & klay thompson carry themselves.... ; )
    I hope I.T. lights it up.... shuts every1's mouth... and is a part of bringing back Primetime to the purple & gold!!!

  • @DGamBrz
    @DGamBrz 6 років тому +17

    I believe IT was a product of a fantastic coach in Boston. I guess we get to see if that's true now when he gets more touches in L.A.
    That said... He absolutely has to be humble.
    The Lakers surely made this trade in order to free up cap space going into the off-season,(IT and Frye are both on expiring contracts) so frankly he may not even be in L.A. long term anyway.

    • @mohammedislam2591
      @mohammedislam2591 6 років тому +2

      So a coach made him average 29 pts? Im not a fan of I.T but thats impressive kyrie is better but he avg 24.7 in the same system. And the amount of clutch shots he made last season he deserves respect. Hes like the only active player who scored 50 in a playoff game that cant be just the coach. He is playing like the worse player in the nba but he didnt even get that much time to adjust. And Lebron needs to be the leader. When Kyrie, Love and Lebron started it took them 39 games to figure it out.

    • @DGamBrz
      @DGamBrz 6 років тому +1

      Mohammed Islam I hear you on that. Guess I was a bit harsh but let me counter.
      Kyrie had made the adjustment to being a more selfless player in that system so I think that can account for the point differential.
      Steven's had IT come off of multiple off ball screens prior to taking dribble hand offs which gave him excellent positioning and advantage in attacking, not to mention that he surrounded IT with long athletic guys who could switch on defense to cover for his deficiencies in that area.
      I would LOVE to see IT prove me wrong but I think it was Shannon Sharpe (who I normally can't stand) who said some thing to the effect of "maybe Sacramento is IT, maybe Phoenix is who IT really is, maybe Boston was the outlier"... which is what really got me on this line of thinking.
      Huge caveat however is yes, he is injured and not back to being himself.
      Let's check back in a few months!

    • @mohammedislam2591
      @mohammedislam2591 6 років тому

      yea but he was actually good in Sacremento and Phoenix.Yea stevens helped a bit and IT may never recover. Remeber when Rose first got injured and he first came back in like 2014 he was playing just as bad but he didnt get the criticism like I.T. And shannon just blames everyone but Lebron he always talks about him making everyone better but he really doesnt.

    Magic says they want LA in the playoffs. Plus there is no benefit of tanking because they don't have a pick. So I think developing a culture of winning games isn't a bad thing, I feel like teams who always tank develop a culture that losing is normal and you don't want that with young players.
    So I think the Lakers should go ahead and start Thomas. Let him play with Zo. Zo at his size can gaurd the 2s and let IT struggle with the point guards. Meanwhile, let him gun it on offence playing the 2 and hopefully put up numbers in search for that big contract.
    But he needs to change his image because he is coming across as a diva and complainer.

    Got rid of clarkson who wasn't on tempo with the rest of the team, always seemed to be running his own plays on the court, ball hog, never made that extra pass until the last 10 games arguably. I also want to note that he's on a second year of a $50 plus mil contract. Nance is my fav of the two, def a team player, wish he couldve stayed, but regardless he is a little injury prone. As for the lakers if IT is able to switch back to his old self then we picked up a steal in addition to the two max players whom we opened up cap space for (if lakers are willing to keep him). We also got a first rounder, and Channing who can help clean up the boards a bit and perhaps hit two 3s a game for us . Should make the rest of the season for us laker fans a bit more interesting to watch! Lets say IT breaks out and the Lakers somehow make the 8th seed hmmm!

      That was one of there biggest flaws with the cavs cause they allowed they opponents to get offensive rebounds so they have another chance of scoring
      Adding more pg and sg and pf won't change shit

      CatACor IT was great in the right system (Boston) where he'd never really done much before then or in Cleveland. He was clearly pushing to get his numbers in Cleveland to get a max contract, in a system not built around him and with a bad hip. I know he never asked to go to Cleveland, but it was a bad situation for him and the Cavs - a bad marriage. All of a sudden, Cleveland looks a lot more viable to win the East. IF IT goes to L.A. and tries to throw his 5'9" frame around there, he could continue to face problems like he had in Cleveland.

    • @CatACor21.
      @CatACor21. 6 років тому

      Yeah, I’m wondering how much of a great fit he’s gonna be with those players and what role he’s gonna take on. They’re all young guys so I’m assuming he’ll take lead and that might cause problems. He’s very outspoken.

    • @ThomasFromTN
      @ThomasFromTN 6 років тому +1

      Mohammad Shahin Being the star player doesn't automatically make someone the leader. LeBron certainly was not the leader when he was with the Heat, Wade was. And, given that LeBron could not convince Irving to stay in Cleveland, it seems reasonable to consider that a more natural leader would have succeeded in keeping Kyrie from going to Boston. So, I really have to see CataCor's point.

    What a teammate! I can't win with you guys so I'll play weak basketball for a few weeks until the you guys get traded. I'll let the media do all the talking that my teammates are bad so the CAVS are forced to trade you lot. I win!!! LOL.

    IT gets to actually rival with the Celtics now. That's the one game you can rely on IT to step up

    Look you people need to get it. Rob and Magic got rid of big contracts which they needed to do for landing to big time free agents. The IT thing is also golden because with Lonzo out they can let IT get his groove back and enough exposure and point avg to trade him for value this offseason!

    Father God, through Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega, the Creator of ALL THINGS loves you so very much. He wants you to come to Him with all of your weaknesses: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Rest in the comfort of His Presence, remembering that nothing is impossible with Jesus. Pry your mind away from your problems so you can focus your attention on our Lord. Understand that He is able to do immeasurably more than all you ask or imagine. When anxiety attempts to wedge its way into your thoughts, remind yourself that Jesus Christ is your Comforter and your Shepherd. Give yourself completely to Him this very moment. Though it may feel frightening, the safest place to ever be is in the loving care of Jesus Christ. ❤️❤️❤️ (Luke 1:37; Ephesians 3:20-21; Psalm23:1-4)
