    And there's your reason to not suck -- Steven A. has nothing to scream and spit about.

    Its actually pretty sad to see Zubac being able to contain Westbrook.

    He needs to go.

    That's just it. No off the bench, no trying to not alienate him, no trying to put spacing around him, etc.

    He just needs to go.

    Period.

    If LeBron was a real leader he would make it work somehow

    I wonder what was going through his mind when he thought he could make this work?

    Was it just ego? KCP shooting lights out from the corner yesterday and Kuz just put up 26.

    I think the Westbrook trade is going to make the Bubble team look very much not anomaly but a very talented team.
    Kuzma and Caruso in particular have shined outside of LA. Kuzma has been every bit good as Beal for Washington in the two games for the Wiz this year

    I'd be fine giving him all of Russ's minutes. He's a BIG glue guy in the mold of the Eagle and Reaves .... even if not as multi skilled. Plays smart and if matched intelligently on defense does a real nice job.

    He's just paying homage me thinks.

    That's all. Just a form of respect.

    Two games isn’t much of a sample size, otherwise Utah is a contender. Kuzma last season was an average player like he was with us and made no impact on Washington in his larger role.

    KCP I think has gone to a perfect place where he can be a really solid 3&D role player. I miss both him and Caruso who we never should have let go. The other major lakers player I wish we could get back is Ingram.
