    More bad news. We've been pretty healthy thus far this season. I don't want any more excuses for Boron's failures.

    Not good. I really hope his knees don't become an issue. This kid was one of the sole bright spots this season.

    Meh, it's win-win. Larry gets his body right, Julius gets more opportunity and experience in the starting 5.

    I honestly would not put it past Byron to start Bass or even Kelly. I'm not joking at all. He would do it. If Randle even mouthed off a TINY bit in practice, Bass would get the start.

    They've said Nance will be coming off the bench.

    For now at least.

    It won't be long. Soon Byron will post this in Randle's locker.

    He needs to be in the dunk contest next year, hopefully he doesn't pull a Shannon Brown.

    Nance is great off the bench by the way. That was always the perfect the role for him as an energy hustle guy.

    I don't know man, everyone's calling that the greatest 2 guys in an All Star dunk competition ever. Both Levine and Gordon have even greater hops than Nance's great hops and have turned in performances for the ages on the largest stage. What's Larry going to do....hope they each have an off day? Yeah definitely even more Shannon Brown potential. He could do great, unlike Shannon, and still get just smoked.

    ^I'd still like to see him in it, even if he went out after the first round. He can't be worse than Drummond, and great leapers and dunkers aren't exactly lining up for this thing. He probably doesn't win, but even if he throws down one awesome dunk and gives us some fun and pride as Laker fans I'd be all for it.

    maybe he can have ezeli try and block the dunk?

    that's actually a fun idea for a dunk contest...like a penalty shot in hockey/soccer, dunkers vs. shotblockers!

    This is not good news. I hope his knees are not going to be long term problems.

    Larry said he felt fine. Weird narrative... not a good sign.

    I think we made a mistake. Should have offered up Lance and Hibbert or Lance and Lou for Tobias Harris. Larry's knees being this bad this early in his career is never a good sign. Luckily, we have Randle so we won't miss him much. But we should be looking to include him in deals this summer if we need to unload anybody

    Why would Orlando do that deal when Nance has knee problems?
