Tatum is nice. I'd rather have Zo AND Kuz, collectively.Quote:

The only issue is him learning what he can and can't do at this level. He's working on his game:
Free agents will want to play with Lonzo. Neal with it son.
Kuz is legit. Nice measurables for today's NBA. I've saw good things defensively vs The Greek Freak, KD and LeHype. No, he's not on their level but I've seen flashes. He's an up and coming young player who I love to see play.Quote:

likewise bro. never been a fan of ball. I feel like if he cant shoot at an elite level then he wont be as effective. the first 45 days of the season proved that but it looks like he's adjusting to nba speed and I like the aggressiveness now, similar to ucla zo.Quote:

does shutting up express my sense of pity?Quote:

5-14 tonight
:cry but he's getting better :cry
"He was top 50% of rookies in lotsa stats for 10 games. That's 30% of the season he hasn't been a bust. You watch."Quote:

Here's hoping they continue to build on the experience of Ws/Ls going forward. Just imagine if two max players are added as our first 2 options this summer (which makes Kuz and BI 3rd and 4th options). I can. :toast
Lonzo's block on Bin Harden had me thinking about the Kidd comparisons. Lo and behold:
And despite his shoddy scoring, we're #1 in pace. If we add two max players, Lonzo will be a 5th option offensively, at best. I could live with that considering he's an elite shot blocker (amongst PGs), good rebounder and above average passer - even as a rookie. He'll get better too.
we have 3 core young pieces ...with great upside and some good role players ...
Baby steps...
lack of a legit #1 frontline superstar gonna be a crippling deficiency for this young team ...but still fun watching the baby Lakers learn and develop..Quote:

KCP def won't. I'm lukewarm on Lopez, even if we strike out on Boogie. But if we get PG13, Brook may work as a complimentary player on a cheap deal. As a primary weapon he sucks.Quote:

Hope you guys can turn into a mid 00s Nuggets or a Lillard Blazers team one day and can start tether between mid first round picks and laughing stock of the league.
