    I mean don't dribble the ball unto your foot out of bounds. In other words STOP handling the ball and find a corner and be ready to catch and shoot.

    And all those other 5 misses he had would have been nice if he had made them, too. Granted, he had some great defensive plays down the stretch. I'll give him that. But 1 for 7? Ugh. This guy ain't earning that paycheck.

    He makes me wish it was December 15th already. I hope the FO is already shopping him behind the scenes. Straight swap for Ariza anyone?

    Nah, I'll pass. I love Ariza, but I ain't f***ing around with his representation anymore.

    Think of how bad it's gotten...Ariza at one point was repped by Pelinka. But instead we gave 12m on a 1yr deal to Kcp instead of 15m to Ariza.

    Let's say we needed to show good faith to Rich/Klutch with the Kcp deal, then we still had 13.5m to offer Ariza but instead chose to go with Rondo/Lance.

    Ariza ain't happening fam... And why should it? We're just fine with Kcp. He was a net positive tonight and put up numbers to help with the win when Hart was in foul trouble. I don't understand the unnecessary hate for this dude. We're hating on a dude for helping us establish a line back to relevancy (LaBron/Klutch), but want to deal with goddamn piss poor attitudes of an agency that openly slighted us (Mintz). Wtf???

    Fine? Gay and Derozan literally had a field day on him. His defense literally consists of getting blown by and giving up and switching or rotating to the next man. He routinely takes bad fouls because of that.

    His only saving grace is that he’s finally hitting his 3 ball and our best free throw shooter.

    If Ariza can’t be had, I’d much rather take DeMarre Carroll or Markieff Morris who have similar deals on bad teams.

    KCP just doesn’t cut it for me, unfortunately, somehow he ended up with a no trade clause.

    So LABron and Kuz had nothing to do with Gay/Derozan going off?

    Hart was in foul trouble and BI was injured and dude came in and was a net positive for us. He literally helped us outscore them while he was on the court.

    He routinely takes bad fouls? He literally is 3rd to last on our team in personal fouls per 100 possessions.

    Folks keep hating even in a team win and even when dude stepped in when his number was called when guys went down. Da f*** kind of attitude is that?!?

    Oh and he "somehow" got a no trade clause by signing 2 1yr stopgap deals so that we could sign Bron in '18 and hopefully another max guy in 2019. They're literally his early bird rights, cause he earned them.

    Clearly some players and their reps wanted no part of that plan, so I'm thankful Kcp/Klutch were.

    Also yall better start playing nice to the man... especially if you want dude to waive said clause in a trade. Cause otherwise, we literally can't trade him haha.

    If free throws were field goals KCP would be worth his contract. But anyway, nice game last night. I was hating on KCP earlier in the year but he's playing much better right now. I like him off the bench.

    the only thing with gay is that he's more of an older Kuz. what we're missing on this team is a bigger wing defender to guard the Derozan/Gay types that are too big for Lonzo/Hart/KCP to defend. gay is also more of an iso scorer, so the ball doesn't move much with him.

    i prefer someone like DeMarre Carroll because he'd fill two needs as that type of bigger defender on the wing and decent outside shooter.

    yeah I like Carroll to, BK fans sound like they dont like him anymore as he's not as good as he was last yr. Doesn't hurt us if we can get him, he is more a catch and shoot 3/D guy, I'm sure he'll have his streaky ways like KCP as well.

    Yes, Ariza would be an upgrade but KCP had a solid game last night and I think deserves some credit:

    Those 7 rebounds were a nice thing to see.

    I’d give him credit, but he was crap in the 4th. As soon as he went out in the 4th and Hart came in we went on our run. He was getting torched by Gay and Hart came in and pretty much shut that down. I’m just not a fan, it’s very rare he has a defensive game where he locks anyone up, so even if he’s hitting threes he’s usually giving up as much, if not more, than he’s getting.

    I thought he hit some timely 3s and clutch FT's (we badly need this).

    I'm not the biggest KCP fan, but I'm also not the biggest KCP hater either.

    That's how most Lakers fans probalby feel about him...
