    Its all about the culture and bringing in character guys. A dude that was temporarily homeless and now could be an integral part of the Laker renaissance. Yeah, sign me up! Until he proves otherwise, I'm a fan of Kuz's mentality and hardwork to get here. He doesn't seem self-entitled and doesn't carry any of this baller bravado. Funny thing is neither does Zo. If these guys turn out to have Kawhi type demeanors, I'm all for it. However, we are getting to see them open up a bit more as they get more comfortable here, but till they bring titles like Kobe and Shaq before them, they gotta remain grounded and I won't support any of this primadonna BS that alot of young players succumb to. Stay in yo lanes young pups. Prove yourselves first and then maybe you can start ego-trippin some.

    Just like the CP3 nixed deal, there are some things I just can't shake. Just remember, had LA gotten the #1 pick instead of #2....it would have been purrfect. Instead, we got this...

    The day the trade happened, I didn't like it. Now, it's looking like it's got the potential to be a good one. Hated to lose Russ, but Lopez is going to be super valuable next to Lonzo, we had to shed Moz's contract, and if Kuzma can be even a fraction of this in the real league, he will be considered a steal. We have a long way to go, but so far so good.

    Brook / Kuzma >>> Moz / D'Angelo

    And that's not taking into consideration the contracts.
