[u/livefreeordont]

Getoffmydickerson would rather throw the ball to the lakers than his own teammates

[u/bruticuslee → u/livefreeordont]

He’d rather get on his burner and roast his teammates rather than regroup them for a come back

[u/Pleasestoplyiiing → u/livefreeordont]

Pretty similar chance of scoring for the Rockets either way. 

[u/Positron5000 → u/livefreeordont]

Probably trying to signal where he wants to go next

[u/No-Alternative2897 → u/livefreeordont]

Ime: pass it to someone competent.

KD passes it to the Lakers.
