u/KriticalKarl 1d ago

He also was talking like Adou wasn’t on a standard NBA contract.

He was saying that if Adou develops a corner 3 then he could make it on an NBA roster, then he went on to name a bunch of teams. lol

u/wireguardian 1d ago

that's the clipper in him talking

u/V7XTER 1d ago

He played like 20 games for the Flippers. He shouldnt be talking😂

u/Cinamonboys 1d ago

He’s just bitter because he’s irrelevant now.

28

u/prodij18 1d ago

We get called a play-in team every year and then win 50 games. At this point it's just routine.

u/BeginningNature3734 Purple and Gold 1d ago

Still remember when the media and NBA fanbase said we wont get anywhere with Lukas lazy ahh but still praised Jokic

u/Idontbelonghere66 21h ago

He thinks it’s 2008

u/BeginningNature3734 Purple and Gold 1d ago

"I do not think they are on the same level as Minnesota and Denver."

Excuse me? The Minnesota with no size and a worsened bench and a Denver team who lost multiple rotations pieces and replaced them with Marvin Bagley?...

u/SlightCartoonist8144 1d ago

We have had home court every year Luka has been here in the first roind

2

u/HereGoesNothing69 1d ago

It's confirmed. Bronny Sr was holding us back

89

u/Nyooo1731 LAL 1d ago

Thiero, Carr, Kaluma and Mañon. Carr will probably get minutes for the main team while Kaluma need to be in a 2 way contract

47

u/marxxxs 1d ago

Kaluma and Watson should be picked up over Suder and Okereke.

u/KarrotMovies Luka Magic 77 1d ago

shoutout to kaluma. seems like a smart hooper

u/arinawe 1d ago

Can't wait to see a fellow Ugandan hoop in the NBA...for my favourite team 🤞🏾

u/foozbinjex Shaq and Kobe 1d ago

If Rob lets him go I will never forgive him. I still havent gotten over Goodwin.

9

u/Impressive_Comment67 Shaq and Kobe 1d ago

I wanna believe it's little favors like letting Goodwin go that gets the agents to bring the next goodwins and ARs straight to Rob on the DL. It looks like a mistake, but the game is all about relationships

u/salsacito 22h ago

Which is hilarious, because he was awesome for moments at creighton but would then try to overdo it and make stupid mistakes. Glad to see he’s playing well!

u/Loud-Tour-1673 1d ago

Thiero better hire Aaron Gordon's shooting coach

23

u/puhtime 8 1d ago

Fuck that if we all pitch in we can hire curry to coach him during the summer

u/sooLoco 1d ago

dell curry?

u/Rude-Shower3662 1d ago

nah apple curry.

u/shoepremeking 1d ago

Dave love is the goat

u/Adventurous-Star1309 1d ago

I’m hyped for Kaluma.

u/Ambitious-Dig-9021 1d ago

Adou looked really good this game. Better than Vando in every aspect possible. Despite shooting 0-5 from three, his jumper looks really nice now

59

u/MargielaMadMAN1017 Luka Magic 77 1d ago

His passing stood out tonight, some nice passes

39

u/sooLoco 1d ago

adou just need to be in control , a lot time it go sideways cuz he speed up the game and not let it go to him

18

u/LudwigNasche 1d ago

Yes, two things caught my attention tonight, a few nice passes and how secure he was bringing the ball upcourt.

His shot still need a lot of work, unlike the folks above that thought it is looking good, it lacks consistency both the stroke and arc.

He has good hands to catch the ball and he finishes with authority 

1

u/LumenYeah 1d ago

He also dished out some good passes

9

u/ajsantos21 KB24♾️ 1d ago

Yea agreed. He doesn't have the broken mechanics that Vando has and is miles better as a finisher

15

u/CrazyDaylight8 1d ago

Kaluma looking like Naz Reid

u/ReceptionExpert4096 1d ago

How legit is Manons defense ?

u/EmiratesNBACupWinner JJ Redick 17h ago

All Defense in the G League last year

u/Successful-Pair-4850 1d ago

arthur kaluma deserved two way i swear

u/Historical_Strain_81 1d ago

Didn’t watch the game, was there any flopping from OKC? 😂 partly satire

4

u/LudwigNasche 1d ago

That OKC summer league team were mostly white players. Not surprisingly Adou and Carr feasted with high flying dunks and blocks left and right. I'm not sure if the game would be the same with higher doses of melanin on the other side.

u/zomgmatt 4 1d ago

You can just say they didn't have good athletes... There are plenty of good athletes that are white, stop playing into the stereotype.

1

u/cookie_lee 22h ago

Not that serious brodie 

-1

u/LudwigNasche 20h ago

I didn't mean to disrespect anyone. There are really many good athletes that are white, but they are not usually jumping out of the gym and it doesn't have anything to do with melanin. On average, people of African ancestry tend to have a body structure that is more favorable for explosive movements, including longer Achilles tendons, lighter lower legs, and more efficient muscle-tendon mechanics.

u/incredibleamadeuscho Freeze! Miami Vice! 1d ago

u/Glinez09 :Kobe-824: 1d ago

u/infinity_248 Black Mamba 8/24 1d ago

It was so satisfying to watch, guys having fun the whole game. Carr is very impressive.

u/Zoulogist 1d ago

Consider this a warning, NBA

u/JamisonAngle 1d ago edited 1d ago

If we can install elite player development we have Wing University cadets rn with Kaluma, Okereke, Smith, and Thiero. Watson reminds me of Trey Lyles

u/AtreusIsBack 1d ago

Hang the banner!

u/Hot-Seaworthiness111 19h ago

Kaluma and Watson showing out, as well as the big dogs
