-27 tonight, ouch.
How did the Lakers spend another offseason not getting any shooters?
Considering that his career net rating was -11 when he left here, not a surprise.

While I did want Lonnie back because I think he is improving (slowly), even with no Primo, it’s better for minutes to go to J Rich, Romeo, and the rookies. I hope he gets a nice contract after the year with LeBron, he is a good dude, just incredibly inconsistent. Maybe the light bulb will come on as he matures. Maybe.
Lonnie a good fit for this Lakers team. Much needed athleticism and knocking down 3's. Leading scorer for Lakers tonight
Yes he rounds them out nicely. The Lakers look great this year. He was the missing piece.
It took a massive choke by the Daniels kid on the Bobcats for LA to pull this out. Matt Ryan's shot will be the highlight of LA's year

Ed got jokes
Lonnie's quote about his new coach.
"The opportunity has been great. I think this is one of the very first times where I’m allowed to play through my mistakes and do what I do. A coach like Darvin, he’s allowing me to just do my game and play free. On the defensive side, he knows what he wants out of me and I’m willing to take on that challenge, and on the offensive side, I’m just doing what I do. I know what I’m capable of and it’s only going to continue to get better and better. But when you have a coach that has your back and trusts you through thick and thin, it goes a long way.”
"Also we don't have any flashers on this team. It's really amazing."
Its a telling quote but no-one should be surprised. Not to mention Ham has started Lonnie . Pop felt the need to showcase Bryn .
Lonnie had a ton of freedom last year and didn't do with it.
I'm happy for him doe. He seems like a good kid. I'd fine with him averaging 25ppg on 60% ts while helping the Lakers improve to 36 wins total this year.
Didn't the last USA team almost mutiny on Pop, before he made some changes to free them up?
I wonder how many players Pop has ruined not letting them play through mistakes tbh
As others said, he had all opportunities last season but being inconsistent on both sides of the court led to the decision to let him go. He is exciting to watch and I hope he has some great games whole the Lakers continue to suck ...
To be fair Bryn is better.
lmao what? If y'all believe this no wonder you hate Pop.
I would agree with this if we were talking about 2nd year Lonnie that had to "fall in line" and play behind guys like Belinelli and Forbes.
But both were gone by the time he was given more opportunities and he really didn't do much with it. He disappointed in the play-in games.
His three point shooting has been on a 4 year slide.
You can’t deny Pop’s system isn’t for everyone. Some guys thrive in it, and sometimes they even thrive ao much they grow out of it. Some guys struggle in it like Walker but might thrive elsewhere.
Walker has too much damn talent not to make it somewhere but I was happy to see him go. With that being said he tried to do it Pop’s way and it just wasn’t a fit.
