    Rondo/KCP/Lance/LeBron/McGee with Beasley

    Lonzo/Hart/Ingram/Kuzma/Wagner with Zubac and Svi

    That young team is going to get smoked.

    I think that would be good for them. If they don't, then hold onto your biscuits, because that means the league is in trouble.

    Agreed completely. The youngsters would have a hard time finding a more competitive group of veterans around the league that could improve their play the way our guys can. We're in a unique spot, but I'd honestly run the oldies vs. the young guys at least once a week.

    McGee looks to be in the best shape of his life. That fluidity and movement is great.

    Honestly I couldn't even recognize him out there. Are we sure that's him, LOL? I don't think I've ever seen him shoot from outside like that, nor drive to the hole like that. Looks like a different and greatly improved player.

    There were some clips or at least one clip here a couple months ago that showed he could shoot not badly out to 3 pt territory.

    Javale looked as good as ever in his limited minutes with Golden State. I'm looking forward to having him on the Team.. Too bad his PT is so limited.

    Yeah, when you land the league's biggest star and top player in free agency I'd say that's an A plus. Any other talk is just jealousy/hate. Magic and Rob nailed it. Meanwhile they did a solid job with all the one year contracts for vet players to fill in the roster, didn't have to give up any of our young studs to get rid of Deng, and retained all our future picks. Oh yeah and opened a MAX contract spot for next summer, too. A freaking plus.

    Right. You just didn't see who is ranked above whom. For example, Doncic is ranked higher than Kuz, not having played a single minute of NBA basketball.

    f*** off, BSPN .

    Also above Kuz: Reddick
    The following are above Lonzo as well: Millsap (look up his last season), Saric, Bledsoe, Smart

    It's a good think the list is up to 50 at this point, as its credibility was dropping fast.


    BTW, I think the author is from Philly, as this was in the note for Saric
    I'd assume only PHI native would know that kind of s***...

    There is no universe in which ANY GM would take Marcus f***ing Smart over Lonzo. Not one with a working brain at least. Zo is just as good a defender and a much much much much much much better PG.

    Sure happy we start practicing next week and the first game is 9/29 I believe. But still hating now after all summer to leave this site and then come back like a whole 2 minutes later and there's no new posts.

    :Ingramsawinglogs:

    But on the plus side the Lakers really have their act together now with in-house photography and video and their creative use of social media and we can always while away some time there.
