This guy has played pretty well. Seems like he plays more under control and doesn't do the dumb ish he did before. Great defense.

AD seems to play well next to him also


JJ molding him into JaVale Abdul Jabbar

He’s still young, this guy was a lottery pick and when you are a lottery pick you always have a chance to end up being legit in your role

The best part about Hayes is that he was drafted with a pick from the AD trade and now he's making a difference with the Lakers after the Pelicans couldn't develop him. That's great front office work.

I was meh on Hayes because of his NOLA tenure, but he is clearly thriving now in his role.

Amazing what having a Coach that knows how to utilize role players in their role is while making it clear to them what their role is can do for a player.

Won't be talked about enough, but JJ making the decision to swap out Rui(who was being lazy on defense) for Hayes, helped our defense out enough to stop some of the momentum the Raptors were building long enough for us to get back into the swing of things at that moment in the game. his hustle and his energy and his blocking shots not only made the Raptors more uncomfortable and less gung ho, but it also revitalized our team a bit.

Good take on Jax! I’ve removed him from the “ship his arse out list” lol! The rebounds, blocked shots, lobs, cuts, and overall energy has been somewhat useful and worth keeping as a deep reserve.

As for Vincent/JHS/MaxChris/MaxLew, well, the team would be better off without them clogging up minutes, roster spots, and/or contract $’s lol! I kinda wish Rob had signed MaxChris to something like 2yr/$8m instead of 4yr/$32m, he’d be worth waiting another year on for ~vet min if not over paid but as is not so.

I have no issues with Hayes, solid big who plays with energy I think of him as a 3rd string big similar to a guy like Ronny Turiaf and DJ Mbenga

To understand the impact Maxwell Lewis has made... is to realize that he was only thought about when his name got mentioned.. as he is talked about nowhere else. He was drafted with JHS but he never gets his name talked about.

His impact is such that it isn't until you hear his name that you go "Oh... right he IS on our team as a guaranteed contract..."

Dude should have his contract voided and be blackballed out of the league.

Always thought this was a sketchy signing due to this incident, especially since he’s not even a good player anyway. I don’t care if this hurts us, some things are bigger than a game.

Sadly, we've let our fandom, a few good games, and a trivial thirst for "big lineups" blind us to the fact that he is not a good human being. I am guilty as well. It's sad that it takes video footage on TMZ to get the NBA to actually launch a serious investigation which they should've done in the first place. This is so reminiscent of the Ray Rice situation. I'd forgotten that the NBA didn't even suspend him in the first place...appalling.

I'm dubious. The video is far from flattering, but nothing that reaches the level of violence is actually shown in it. Combined with the fact that this is technically all old news from three years ago that he's already pled no contest to and served his sentence for, I don't see anything coming from this. Most likely the NBA will slap him with a couple games suspension to save face so they can pretend like they're "zero tolerance" despite objectively worse offenders like Miles Bridges and Kevin Porter Jr. still being promoted.

I just watched a video of him being tased by the cops. Idk what am I missing because he didn’t seem like he did anything.

He literally paid his fine, did probation, completed community service almost 3-4 years ago. It would be crazy to suspend or fine him now

The Lakers also already knew all of this when they signed him and he was apparently very transparent.

Granted, the released footage doesn't do Hayes any favors. Everything that was shown, was already known back when it happened. But, actually "seeing" it is different from "hearing" about it. Of course, the behavior is intolerable, no matter who you are.

All that said, it seems he was punished by the courts with a fine(s), probation, community service, and anger management courses. How much more flesh is required before some people are satisfied? Complete excommunication from the entire human race? Perhaps shot off to the dark side of the moon?

While I absolutely believe in punishments fitting the crime. I also believe that once punishment has been appropriately served...AND the offender is truly repentant...then grace should follow. Allow that person to live their life, and show they're truly a better person. If they reoffend? Punish accordingly.

Waiting for the fake outrage posts because even though this information was known already.

I would love to go back into the Kyrie thread to see all of the posters who were against Kyrie because he posted an Amazon link, but said nothing when Jaxon was signed.

If they didn’t care about this at the time they signed him I don’t know why they’d care about it now.

It was unclear what happened and what the chargers were specifically for. When I saw the original video, I never ruled out the possibility that the police called it false imprisonment when Hayes restrained an officer within a corner wall for a few moments. LAPD will punish resistors by stretching the interpretations of the law however they can. We also saw his GF seeming to be on his side during the police cam footage. We now have a different picture painted.
