    t seems to me that this unfortunate experiment with playing as a PG did him more harm than good (at this stage of his career, it may bring some long-term benefits). In practice, he played for two seasons in his natural position, for a team that generally had problems with shooting accuracy at the time. It seems to me that a large part of Jeremy's problems stem from the fact that his weaknesses coincided with the team's weaknesses. I am convinced that he would do well in a team with a lot of firepower, looking for a good and athletic defender ;). We shall see...

    If LeBron leaves and Gianiss doesn’t come here.

    would yall be open just stay with me. I know he wants to stay in L.A.

    Kawhi Leonard 2 yr. Deal

    Luka
    Reaves
    Leonard
    Vando
    Ayton

    that’s the ideal 3-D we need. We have the young wings Thiero to off set his back to backs.

    Kobe Buffkins got some skill.


    Dylan Pettterson will be a beast from Kansas.

    I just hope Sacramento doesn’t get one of them. Maybe have sac get #6 I would laugh.

    Cameron Boozer is a franchise Small forward. He can shoot. He’s big he’s got a great handle. Great basketball IQ.

    AJ Bianesta or Dibesta from BYU is a franchise Small forward Power forward. He’ll be the number 2 pick. Think Palo Bonchero. He can do it all.

    Teams are tanking so hard for this guy.

    our strength of schedule and thus point differential is completely misleading.

    Beyond everything else, I just have no faith in Kawhi actually playing. He's looked good this season but I just don't trust it.

    he's also under contract this summer, so the acquisition would require the clips participating. it would worry me if they were interested.

    Right. No way they help us get Kawhi if they thought he still had something left in the tank.

    Westbrick put up some very good stat lines as a Laker, but just about all of us here, except for one, can agree that he was a collassal FAILURE of a member of our team and arguably the worst trade in Laker Hostory.
    Often times, numbers will never tell the entire story.
    I tried watching a well put together video of “Why Westbrook didn’t work on the Lakers” and only made it ten minutes through. Just too painful to listen to excerpts of his interviews, clips of him not even trying on D, and the plethora of bricked layups, dunks, and jumpers.

    On what planet is a guy who shook down the Flippers, and tried to do the same to Jeanie, like a mobster to a wealthy businessman, while illegally getting paid by a scuzzy third party, a “perfect fit???”

    He’s looked amazing.

    Kawhi puts winning over team he goes to.

    I know for fact he wants to be in L.A.

    the Clippers are rebuilding.

    Luka and Reaves are perfect for Kawhi. They can score. He’s still giving you 22 and defense.

    him and LeBron overlapped. This is all if LeBron leaves. Shoot I might bring LeBron back. But Kawhi if LeBron leaves. And maybe the Clippers do a Chris Paul where Kawhi negotiates a trade to the Lakers.

    Remember Lakers have new ownership. I’m trying to teach yall how Mark Walters operates. All his players he likes acquiring are players on short term deals.

    Kyle Tucker 4 yrs.

    Kawhi 2 yrs.

    Ohtani max 8 yrs.

    Gianiss would be max so he would be in that tier 8 yrs. But NBA 4 yrs.
