    I completely understand and the thing I took most from Rob Pelinka's interview at the combine is the Lakers made it clear to Lonzo he has to be ready to play all season long. He can't be this noodle who comes in, takes a bump, and is out for 5 weeks.

    By all accounts, he's working hard to be ready to go. As are all of our kids.

    yeah, i think rob's implicit message was: more evidence of fragility = ticket out of town.

    I wish we had more photos and video of Lonzo working hard already. Its not that I don't believe it, but it would make me feel better if I saw a steady stream of videos like I expect to see from Randle

    I'm sure it makes you wonder how we survived waiting to see how a player looked in training camp when there was no internet or social media.

    It is paint. It has been a running joke of Boozer's ever since it happened.

    It's ok, it was his freshman year in the league but Rob was right to tell Lonzo the kiddie park is now closed. They need to bring Byron in for a one-time "Man Up. You ever been in a fight?" consultation. Rooks everywhere stepped up this year and actually I think Lonzo did as well but he didn't prepare his body. I don't want to see any videos of yachts and the Bahamas this summer, at least not until late summer and not until I see a ripped torso and some guns.

    Booz talked about that in an interview. He said he was experimenting with some stuff and no matter what he did, it wouldn't come off. He should have worn at least a headband to hide it a little but he had to take the hit.

    Haaaa. That is funny. He should sued the company. I bet that was a scary time, though he would have been roasted by these young comedians on this team.

    Instead of getting a tat how ‘bout getting jacked? Guns are looking more like water pistols!

    Does anyone know why Lonzo’s brother, LiAngelo, didn’t participate in the draft combine?

    You would think he would want to try to raise his draft stock up.....,

    He would have been exposed anyway. He is too slow and unathletic for the NBA. I can’t see that guy having success. As I have said before, he would have been a good tight end.
