There have been a couple of videos of him doing light workouts that don't tax his knee much. That's about it. |

| If he sticks around he will be a very nice Westbrook replacement. |

Love it.
Looking at the clips, I totally forgot he played preseason games.

Agreed.
And you have THT, Reaves or Walker who would extend there roles as backup PG.
Imagine actually being able to find minutes and hopefully value in the 4th-6th highest paid players on the team.

Career average is 15 points a game. He could equal Monk's production.

Should not be considered a throw in as part of any trade.
If he's back 100%, will be a key part of our rotation and we have his early bird rights next offseason too.
He's my Russ insurance. Russ is more talented individually, but Nunn due to his shooting is a better fit.

| He would have been the second best player on the team last season in games AD/Bron missed. I hope he gets a real shot here. |

Is anyone concerned that he might be rushing back from this too soon?

Both of them are small guards. From a defensive perspective you could only really have one. Injury and market decided which one we kept, but if he's healthy, probably the better one.

| Kendrick Nunn is a talented player but let’s be realistic the moment someone wants him as a sweeter in a trade he’s gonna get traded lol, he is the perfect guy to package with THT to bring us a Eric Gordon or Buddy Hield. |

nunn is the wrong guy to trade specially for those guys.
He is a 38% 3pt shooter and gives you 15ppg with good play making and defense. |

I am
He shouldn't rush the come-back and take all his time to recover properly
I guess 5 years is adequate,but if he needs 7,so be it |

Unless we're getting someone like Donovan Mitchell, I wouldn't trade Nunn for Hield and especially not Gordon.
Nunn is a ball-handling guard, which you need with LeBron getting old, plus he plays well off the ball and hits 3s well while spotting up, making him a good complement for LeBron.
Hield may be able to create his own shot a little bit, but he's not a ball-handler.
The Lakers need to stop being obsessed with having three big stars and simply have several good or very good players around LeBron and AD who fill in various gaps.
We can't have LeBron be our primary ball-handler all the time at age 37/38. |

^^His "(bleep) YOU" level is off the charts for me.
I watched highlights and homie looks like he doesn't give a (bleep) who he goes up against he is going full Mamba every possession. Cannot do that without skills and confidence in how ot use them.
