Doesn't anyone here feel KCP is playing with some nagging injury? He just looks different. Doesn't move as fluidly as I remember and kind of emotionless. He has had slumps every year but don't recall this bad. |

Another gun incident suspended player. The least of what Lakers need. |
It’s just a fan proposal. Nothing real to see here. |

Yes. He hurt his ankle at the beginning of January. He played okay for the first few games when he came back, but has slumped since then. He doesn't look quite right, does he? _________________ Internet Argument Resolved |

This is the ONE season he's shooting 44% from 3's...I'd take that with a grain of salt. I mean, it was 28% last season and the most important reason; he does not fill a need.
He's good but still another undersized SG.... _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team ! |

I totally feel Mad on this. Not kidding when I say it just *feels* like anytime Lakers acquire an alleged sharpshooter, they suddenly go from terrific to average. |

I dunno IG. I was big on Tucker, say, last year. This year he is shooting 32% from 3 and less than 40% from the field. He may have become another Wes. |

What's ironic is that as bad has Tucker's shooting has become... (and it has been bad) it's about the same as Schroder's who people here continue to praise like he's the second coming. |

Depends what the Rockets want if they ask for THT then I would obviously decline but if it’s McKinnie and Wes for Tucker then I do it |

I can see RP's side being an ex-agent and fostering relationships being a priority for continued success. Kosta's is a minor inconvenience so to speak but possibly major repercussions in 2-3 years. KCP gave hope to Lebron but who would have thought upon his signing AD would also be here.
As I mentioned earlier if Lakers need to rely on a 2-way player then they are *******. I prefer he be replaced but Lakers can wait till next offseason to address this. |
I don't have a problem with your general point about maintaining relationships with agents, but I'm skeptical that Kostas is particularly important to any agent that matters. Heck, we've kept him on the roster for a good long time, even though it was apparent long ago that he wasn't likely to develop into an NBA quality player. If we ever have a need for his roster spot, I don't see any diplomatic reason to keep him around. |
Exactly. The diplomatic move was not to cut him loose 1 second after Giannis's extension was signed. We've kept him on the team for years (and months after his brother and even Bam already signed long term extensions). If the worry is Dennis, I doubt Kostas is the pressure point as to whether Dennis will sign or not. |
I think that it's more likely that there isn't a D league player who the Lakers are interested in signing to a TW contract right now.
They would cut him if there was a reason. But they probably won't cut him just to take another flier on a player they don't see contributing this season. |

Nobody praised DS for this 3 point shooting, but tucker is pretty bad at it, and when you factor in shooters can’t shoot when they play for the Lakers... it will be ugly
Recent memory, I think Jodie Meeks was the closet guy we had to a sniper. |

Where would you envision Tuckers mpg?
Over Morris, Kuzma, or Harrell? Not seeing the fit. |
