    Combine that with his tenure with the slips, and all his Laker envy/hate makes perfect sense.

    Yes, time can't go fast enough. But it shouldn't to just to save our core's aging legs. Vogel has to really manage the minutes.

    We've have 10 guys that play the point and 2 guard minutes management shouldn't be a problem but our poor 4's and 5's lol

    I would think Howard can withstand longer minutes at the 5. He's really still physically fit even at his advanced NBA age. Anthony is our only viable backup at the 4. All that physicality at that position could affect his offense. Or he can just score to stretch the defense. Unless James plays there in a pinch.

    Backup wise: Whiteside is off the market and Millsap will be a Warrior.

    Then again, we may have to play our version of small ball.

    - That foul is so obvious, you could have called it with Braille. (Francis Dale "Chick" Hearn)

    Westbrook has some experience at the 5 thanks to MDA... just saying.

    I like Howard and him backing up Gasol at the 5 or starting is fine but when teams go small he's the first one off the floor and we don't have any real 4's to offset small ball outside of Anthony and maybe Ariza. I would love to get another body at least for the 4

    Lebron and Melo both play the 4 and have had arguably their best seasons there. It's also an easier position for them to play at their age.

    If there ever was a perfect launch point for that it would be with our team this year.

    If HBO, Showtime, Netflix, or Amazon has half a brain they call Silver up and get the green light yesterday.

    It amazes me just how much Bron is in PP's head. 24/7. Rent free. Back in the day, I'll give it to him it used to be BronSPN, but he's no longer their darling and hasn't been since he's been a Laker. They went full in on Curry when GS rose up, then Harden and the Clippers.

    Having to cover Bron on the Lakers... the merging of the two things he hates the most had to be difficult for the wheelchair enthusiast.

    It really is embarrassing for PP to be so transparent about his Bron obsession. Dude is so insecure.

    Edit: and it’s not like he has to be told to talk about Bron. The irony

    It couldn't have been that little if he had to wrap a towel around him and sit in a wheelchair to hide said poopoo
