He's a beast, plain and simple. And he's still only 21. Crazy.
Hope those knees hold up. Looking good.
wasting his career playing behind 3tosb and bench of 1 dimensional players who only specified in certain skillset only...
It'll only be one more year son, then he'll be set loose.
Parker Kawhi and Baynes will create a potent attack as the next generation of spurs, Tbh.
u mention the frog who loves to dissappear in big games, lol fake ass leader taking this team to nowhere...seriously man ppl should stop mentioning that clown anywhere near KL
Tony can bet he leader as long as he defers to Kawhi when it matters tbh, ala Jason Kidd.
now when was the time he defer to anyone?
the only time he defers is when his out injured, which i hope to see more of, or KL going to another team....his too damn good to be playing behind a fake ass leader
This is Tony and Tim's team right now whether or not it SHOULD be Leonard leading it (as long as TD is a Spur he's the leader). Pop encourages Tony to do what he does when the game's on the line. In a couple seasons when Leonard takes over Tony will defer.
stretch
Kawhi's a great defender, I haven't seen anyone do a better job on Lebron in the playoffs since Bowen in 07 Finals.
TYBL
his doing a better job t het paul george atm defending lebron
dude seriously got robbed of a all defensive team selection...
his offense, has shown me enough that he could beat his man off the dribble and attack the rim...too bad the spurs dont allow him the green card to play more iso
LOL Grit and Grind.
He'll make some All-Star games, maybe two or so.
But he'll be a large component of our success going forward, most importantly.
In reality Pippen would have done no better on Bron so far this series. The kid is growing into a monster b4 our eyes. Sometime down the track when Pop gives him the scoring green light watch out. Pippen not out of the question tbh.
Leonard is every bit as good of a rebounder as Pippen. Obviously his perimeter defense, while top 10 in the league, is nowhere near Scottie's, the greatest perimeter defender of all-time, but if he puts in the work, he could very well be the best or second best perimeter defender in the NBA. Offensively, it's tough to tell what kind of potential he has since his scoring role is limited with the Spurs. I don't ever see him becoming an elite scorer, since he lacks the footspeed and freakish athleticism of the league's best wings, but he can still be an effective 15-18ppg scorer because of his length, offensive rebounding prowess, and ever improving fundamentals (see: turn around jumper in Game 1. A move he didn't have at the beginning of the year).
Leonard's ceiling is probably a "middle-class" Scottie Pippen, which is nothing to scoff at.
He's already better than Battier and Tony Allen ever was, though.
By next year he should be no worst than 3rd option. If that happens he should post numbers like:
13-15 ppg
7-9 rpg
3-5 apg
2-3 spg
He's from Riverside. Grew up a Lakers fan.
Do it, Mitch?

You do have a nice, young SF in Earl Clark, though. I think the Lakers need to take next year off so to speak and develop their young guys. Clark and Glock got some upside, but it's tough to develop youth when you're in constant "championship or bust" mode. Kobe should also not rush himself back and let these young guys own the floor for a half the season.
Agreed. I like Clark, but I'm not sure how much of last year was a fluke. He did show flashes though. I hope his inconsistencies allow MK to re-sign him on the cheap.

On a separate note, I'm hoping Kobe retires (considering the bolded). There's nothing left for him to prove and the Lakers need to move forward. If he wins #6 it won't do much more for his legacy - which is cemented already. His NTC, stubborn ways, and the strong possibility of him not coming back 100% anyway will prevent us from developing players for the future. We'll have to cut the Kobe-umbilical cord one day. The sooner the better IMO.
