Some folks should marinate on that ish.


Some are too busy believing Scott’s and Magic’s lies.

I still remember the Kevin Ding hit piece against Jim and Mitch timed for whenever Porzingis had a good game against the Lakers effectively throwing Russell under the bus. So I think Jeanie may not have liked DLo either or at least saw him as a key sign of her brother's failures.

Of course drafting Russell ended up being one of his finest moves.

Just think...

In some alternate reality the Lakers drafted Okafor and Vonleh instead of Russell and Randle, whom both just got max's.

They drafted correctly, some people just want to hold their hate.

But in the end, it didn’t matter anyway since Randle walked and Russell was traded for a late first round...

Not a shocker....my guess is GS is holding him until they can get a good trade piece.

I was a fan of DLo early on, started to disappoint me, and has now won me back. But I still would have rather taken Porzingis.

Russell and Curry combine for 56 points 11 assists



This is what pre-season is for.

Still adjusting to Golden State's offense.....

Don't know if he will ever be an ideal to Kerr's offense.

We're fortunate that neither of them were still around to be maxed out. Not worth it. We could use Russell's playmaking, but his shooting is still of last year's Lakers vintage. Might wanna set our sights higher with a max contract.

Right, we’re much better off with Rondo and Dudley. But they’re cheap!! The Lakers used to be the Rolls Royce of the league, now we’re the Target blue light special.

Hopefully they do step it up in the win column but they will still be cheap. Heck, Dr Buss managed to win titles by being cheap.

Wonder if GSW will trade him when Klay is healthy. It would seem like a waste bringing him off the bench.

I can see them playing Klay as a “SF.”

I see a lot of upside for GS this year if Klay hits the ground running...now we’ve gone the extreme on them from being rated to highly to underrated. They’ve done a nice job with role player pickups from what I recall of the offseason.

I thought that’s what Kerr said he was planning.

Yes, the over on GS winning 47.5 games is a bet I expect to collect on.

The over is 47.5?! I need to get in on that action.

Why not - they would have the best PG/SG rotation in the league, by far. 3 all-stars, 1 of them a superstar/MVP Level guy, another 1 of the best shooting guards of all time as a shooter and a third an all-star caliber combo guard. That's just ridiculous talent and rotation. You can use DLO as a 2 or 1, and you can then close games with Klay at the 3.

On Offense it will work brilliantly. The only issues I see are on the defensive end.

When Klay comes back why wouldn't they just play

Curry at the 1
D'Lo at the 2
Klay at the 3
