KCP is probably the best 3 point shooter on the Lakers. And therefore very valuable.
Either KCP or Kuzma has to be in the game to provide 3 point shooting.
Lonzo - can't hit the 3 pointer yet
Ingram - mid range player
McGee -no
Lebron - yes
So without KCP in the starting lineup there is really no 3 point shooter besides Lebron. |
even kuz hasn't shown he can be as reliable as kcp yet. He's shown he can get a little hot, but he's not steady at all. KCP is our curry right now, sadly. or fortunately! |

You're right. It's downright bizarre how lowly he's look upon here. |

| He needs shots. It's ridiculous for him to have only one 3 point attempt. That's on your crappy offense, Luke. |

He needs the Deng treatment one game early right now. At least in terms of starting.
I hated bringing him back, and I hated him starting since preseason. He is not a starting player period. Especially when you have somebody 10x better right behind him.

| He should come off the bench. We definitely over paid for him but that was the cost to bring LBJ here. Rich Paul client. |

| I don't hate KCP, but he clearly doesn't have a role on this team. He needs to play this year like it's a contract year (which it is) and stop riding the Klutch coattails. |

This is based on 1 game? do people not recall his very nice 2nd half performance after the ASB? |

It is unacceptable for a starting shooting guard for a nba team, logged with 27 minutes of playing time and only shoot the ball three times and score one bucket. If Hart is capable of putting up 12 shots under the same amount of minutes, there should be no excuse. |

| He is here only because of LBJ and the agents. Didn't like his game last year and its still like that. For me his game is annoying as hell and he is quite dumb on offensive end. Also his defense is overstated because he actually cant lock anyone. Money wasted and it could be Randle or Brook. |

12m a year to be the GOAT's "goat" (famous racehorses often had a small goat to calm them down on road trips).
Hart is ready to take this over whenever.

If last year was any indicator for the future, Puke Walton will start Hart maybe 30 games into the season.
It is a crying shame, last year everyone knew Randle was x10 more than Lance and should've started from day 1, but for some reason he waited an absurdly long period before the lineup change was implemented. |

Ray Charles could have seen this, this infuriates me to this day. Josh Hart does everything KCP does at a much much cheaper price. |

Politics really shouldn't get in the way of putting your best players on the court but we all know it does sometimes. Hart is clearly the better player. |

But if KCP was the price to get LBJ, 30/30 GMs pay that price.

I do not dispute this claim, the real mystery is why he is starting and playing so many minutes. His best aspect is his catch and shoot ability, and Hart appears to be equally as good in that regard while offering a more dynamic offensive repertoire. |

| I think kcp had 1 shot in the first half. Not sure if that's his fault or coaching but it's not good. Kcp is a decent player and can be an asset if used properly. I don't know that that will happen with LeBron and Luke. |

Luke can take a hike too, both of them need to go! |

I think Luke is a "player's coach" and sides with vets instinctually at first, or guys who are older. Funny thing is that KCP is only 2 years older than Hart.

This fool would probably bench Tatum for Marcus Morris  |

Yeah, it was a deal to help seal James coming here, but if he doesn't play that well, James is going to view him like a JR Smith. The one year deal too is telling, it was a one year favor. Hart takes the spot next year, unless the max free agent we bring in is a shooting guard.

How about not being so knee jerkish?
This team of all teams, with the massive turnovers in personnel, need at least 25+ games to mesh.
