Already gave up on D'Bust

Hoping for Durant and Al Horford.
who are these 4 young guys he's talking about... Julia, Clarkson, Russell, and ?
Nance I would guess.
These "young" guys on the Lakers squad are all below average to plain terrible though. Good luck with that.
I would take my chance at russell..hes playing at a ty environment unfair to judge him.
Q
Classic Lakers. Impatient and unwilling to develop youth, looking for a free agent/trade quick fix.
If anything, that's the player they should be willing to move. Yeah, I jokingly call Russell a bust (Oak and Porz were still better picks) but he'll be a good player. Not a centerpiece or anything, but he has good size and length and very good court vision for such a young player. He does seem a bit slow, though. Randle is short-armed, undersized, has no jumper, no passing ability, a terrible defender, and has a limited offensive skill set. And even if he develops somewhat, I see his lack of length being an issue that will always plague him.
The thanks they get for picking up Kobes poop all over the floor this season.
What a horrible take.
no one knows anything about these kids because Kobe wont let them shot and Byron's system is crappy.
Oh and
Real talk though Im not in love with any of them yet so wouldnt shed tears if they are traded just saying to early to make any definitive calls. The reality for me though who is a realistic get?
Those guys wont be enough to get anyone I would want to pay max money to. Lakers best bet is to ride out this season. Kobe leaves, Byron is fired and you get a young uptempo coach to develop and showcase the pieces. Even if they dont develop the way we want the faster pace will inflate their numbers and then you can trade for value.
Durant is not coming ...there is no quick fix. Hope you keep your pick and get Simmons or Ingram and you keep up the slow rebuild.
BTW, any Laker fans that dont have any patience to stick by the squad as we rebuild or want to jump ship for GSW post Kobe. I like the Dubs too but bleed purple and gold ..always.
indeed. Worst part, they have shown massive potential barriers that cannot be overcome. Dbust is slow and Randle is undersized.. no matter how much they want to work on the shooting, they will still be a slow guard and an undersized pf, which is pretty much the worst flaw those players could have.
don't worry, you guys will max out clarckson next year.Oh and

Clarkson is good but he's not starter good. Probably 6th man is his ceiling
i agree, he has bad 3point shooting and can't defend though. For a young player he has shown some qualities.
He has the physical build to be a good defensive player and shooting can improve. Hope he shines
Do you s even watch basketball? Clarkson shoots over 40% from three and right at 50% from the two. He's one of the top guards in the league at getting to the rim as well. Our youngsters would flourish in a fast paced system. The fact that Scott can't figure this out should nullify him from ever coaching in this league again.
Pretty much this. D'Angelo in particular should be averaging at least 9 dimes/gm under a different system. Scott is ing awful.
Yeah, it is Scott's fault Kirby passed 16 times in the same game he took 27 shots.
Double it on Kobe tonight?
Same bet. o/u 40%, 10 shots.
This is the problem on both fronts (FA & Trades) beyond the Kobe issue; their young "core" has very little value. It's not Byrons fault Kobe sucks and he's under strict orders to play him & protect him. It's the Kobe system, not the Byron system.
Julius is basically a poor mans Aaron Gordon who in turn is a poor mans Blake. Julius is a clear two rungs underneath a high ceiling.
Sure, what are we at $10?
