    He can be a game changer offensively with his shooting ability. He's a low turnover guy too.

    If Dennis was here, he'd have the scoop of who, what, and where.

    Maybe Rob gave him the number to one of Kobe's German doctors.

    Maybe LeBron gave him his South Beach plug.

    Love it when he’s aggressive and confident. I’d rather see a 5-20 game than a 2-8 game.

    Really glad we kept DLo. He seems comfortable here now. Good chemistry with his teammates. Besties with AR. Now adding the Dinwiddie connection.

    Our chemistry is going to be really good now. No one will be traded, everyone's role is much more clear, AR & Bron need to create less (=less turnovers, more energy in general); our only problem (aside from Ham potentially playing 3-guard lineups) is injuries. But we have Rui now, he's playing himself in shape for sure and Cam is coming back very soon. Only need Vando at some point before the playoffs to ramp him up for defensive purposes.

    If there’s any doubt about DLo’s sincerity about being excited about bringing in Dinwiddie

    He's trying on defense at least: he had a very nice steal where anticipated and sagged off his man into the lane. Need that off ball stuff against the better teams in the league

    Surpassing my expectations and outperforming his salary this season if you look at the totality & impact on winning.
