In a season where many predicted him to become the clear #1 on the Lakers over LeBron, it’s safe to say that has NOT been the case so far lol

As amazing as he is defensively he’s become somewhat underwhelming offensively at times since the 2020 playoffs ended(including basically the entire 20/21 and 21/22 seasons)

    If I had a dollar for everytime AD got 0 points in the 2nd half in just this season alone, I would have 2 dollars

    It’s the LeCurse. Team up with a superstar teammate, get 1 year of their superstar selves, then be forced to increasingly carry as they decline into oblivion, all the while double digit NPCs scream ‘sUpErStAr TeAmAtEs his whole career’ on YouTube.

    As a laker fan (since the LeBron era) I’ve grown to dislike watching him play. His offensive game is so damn halfhearted and boring

      100%. The combination of him and DLo repeatedly running PnR is a fucking eyesore. The Lakers become a lot more effective and fun to watch when Reaves and LeBron are running their 2-man game

    4th season of AD being projected to be the clear #1 option and not being very close at all.

    He’s not forcing it, the Lakers have plenty of scoring options compared to some of AD’s previous years. He’s down to 15fga per game, compared to like 20 at his scoring peak in NO, and 17-18 prev years in LA. His FG% is roughly in line with his career.

    Need more context. Did he just have a bad night and his shots weren’t falling? Or did he not try to score?

    Let me tell you right now, it HAS NOT been the case so far and WILL NOT be the case either. I’ve been calling for an AD trade after they won the 2020 title because I seen this coming. I knew he wouldn’t replicate that playoff run he had back then. Lakers should’ve packed his bags and got Lebron a competent roster that actually shows up
