    This guy blocks shots by just extending his arms. And yes, his timing is very good. But since his motor isn't great, he plays limited minutes, which kinda works for us.

    TB wants to play more and his offense is smooth, but you can't play more minutes when you are a revolving door defensively. So, obviously he had to go somewhere else to get a chance.

    DLo + Beasley and Lebron are going to fit like a glove man.

    There are some things in which a 4" difference is huge. :ShaqOh2:

    i think malone is a great and vastly underrated coach (the anti-lue) and will find the best way to use him.

    yeah, people are selling beasley short, i think. a couple years ago, he was putting up a pretty efficient 20ppg. he hasn't had a major injury or anything. he can ball and should thrive playing off a couple bona fide stars.

    AD is also gonna have WAY more room to operate. He should be a lot better even when he is in chill mode

    Interesting deadline. 10% of the entire league was just traded.

    Out of those, Ross, Noel, Love (if available) could be useful.

    I’d take Danny Green back if he’s bought out. Good locker room guy and could play some wing minutes in a pinch. He didn’t have his best year here but I’ve always liked him.

    i like green as a veteran leader. he must not play unless it's the end of the world. but he's a dudz type, imo.

    i think we did lose some of that with bev moving on, too. AD's not a vocal leader, and honestly, lebron isn't, either. lord knows dlo isn't. and now the roster is so young.

    Bron is now the only Laker over 30 (compare that to the Sr citizen crew last year) and really going to be the sole voice. Damn. Then AD and DS are both 29. DS speaks up some, that will need to expand. Rest will be on the coaches, especially Handy. Ham will be too busy looking for ways to shave inches off the height of this roster.
