By the way who were the dummies to actually give Lebron shooters and young players. The Lakers go from fighting for play-in to possible conf finals. AD staying healthy and finally reaching his potential is amazing for him.

Beasley is a non factor and the yoot they have in roles compliments the stars in place that was not where they came from. Playing off Lebron and AD makes you better. Deangelo is very talented but Minny was not going to resign him.

On the flip side, look how well Westbrook fit in with Clippers? He was a disaster with Lakers.

Just a little behind schedule.

Would have been better if they snuck in "his usual groin injury this time of year"

He should play. It's not like the injury can make him slower than he already is.

Knowing how much teams pay attention to Randle and Brunson I wish we could sprinkle in some plays like this for Grimes. They might help him catch a rhythm.

I thought Bam's moving screens were bad. Draymond screens are on another level. We are at such a disadvantage its crazy.

Imagine if we had someone like that to throw at the Butlers and Tatum's of the world. 🤤

Its a lovely video compellation.
would you trade Josh Hart for him? We have our dog.
Im very pleased also with RJ, Grimes and IQ defense.
Vando is a nice fit with little offense with Lebron and AD. Two HOF players.

Naw, wouldn't make that trade. But it would be nice if we had a defender with size at the forward spot. It's a glaring hole. We kinda short across the board.

2018 Draft should stack pretty high among all drafts classes.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2018.html

The second round has Mitch Robinson, Jalen Brunson, Jarred Vanderbilt, Gary Trent ...

The entire draft is outpacing the 2017 and the 2019 on a lot of levels. I like looking at WS and Minutes to see contributing players.

Vanderbilt is on my shortlist of players I would want at PF if Toppin ended up moved in a trade.

You know I gonna spin wit it

You put him out with Josh Hart and offense will sputter. Its nice on paper. Its nice on those nice videos.

Or the offense ignites with another transition horse and cutter. I don't consider Hart an offensive liability. He won't consistently score a ton, but his playmaking, ability to push the tempo, cutting, slashing and offensive rebounding make him a plus. I think Vanderbil could excel in a way similar to the way Obi excelled with Hart in the second unit.

Fucking miracle really. Kudos to the coaching staff for coming up with strategy to overcome the truly putrid offensive talent
