We can’t sign him even if he got cut

I'm saying in a trade.

No. But we would have to trade two rotation guys for him, and that wouldn’t be worth it. If we could have had him for a lesser price, he wouldn’t be a bad short term player.

Oh was it his hand? I thought they caught his wrist.

Oh well Big Zu, thems the breaks.


Zu's only (for NBA standards) making $18M this season. That's a steal for a 16 point 13 rebound bruiser. Man he'd look nice out there for us.


Fam

Listen

That one STILL hurts lol

We won’t always shoot like this. But damn does it feel good!


Yeah but the thing is Reaves is only 26 and is 37% which can improve. Rui is 26 and is shooting 42% from 3 this year. Knecht is only 23 and shooting 35%. and then you add in Luka who's only 25 and this is a young team who can grow together. Lebron who can heat up from 3. Like the only thing we're missing is a stretch 5 because Shake Milton can shoot also.

No need a stretch 5 if we play small

The same way we say Bronny will reinvigorate Lebron, we can say the same about Luka. Lebron's motivated more than ever to stay sharp. Putting on a show for Luka right now.

I mean it's really hard to blow out a team wire-to-wire, you have to expect Clippers make this a game just by the fact that it's the NBA. But LeBron's just playing in another gear, and they're gang rebounding and getting out into transition. They're a handful right now, especially for older guys like Zu, Harden, Kawhi, Batum.

LeBron always turns it on as the basketball gets more serious. Everyone goes through this same cycle every season and gets fooled.

Shaq looks good. Like he dropped a bunch of weight since I last saw him on tv. Props to Vince for keeping himself in shape. A lot of players balloon up after they retire. Vince looks great!

Without a big, the Lakers are gonna have to outscore teams. That's not going to get a ship. Rob is gonna pull another rabbit out of the hat before the deadline. He has 2 days to work his magic.

95.8% Lakers win at Gamecast.

That’s insane for a halftime odd.
