    sarcasm yes, but since the pendulum has swung too far the wrong way, this is now likely to be a collective bargaining item. It has gotten out of hand.

    We know he can be a good player. Solid shot, can make plays for others, willing defender. Hopefully he'll stay healthy, because he's really a great fit for the team. He's a typical combo guard, but I assume he'll play more of a SG for us, since Russ and Schroeder are going to cover most of the duties at the 1. Reaves will likely do more of a 2-3 combo role, PatBev will cover the 2s... but we do have so many guards right now. Most of them are interchangeable, but it's going to be hard to find minutes for everyone. I mean... someone is going to end up being traded for sure.

    Means the end of your Nunn glue jokes though. You up for taking one for the team here?

    Weren’t you calling for him to be traded a few weeks ago?

    Great news. Can’t wait to finally see him play as a Laker, let alone as a starter.

    It will be great to see him just get back on the court. It's just a preseason game but I'm sure that he's looking forward to it.

    I thought he looked pretty good especially not having played in a whole year. Pleasantly surprised and I’m hoping for good things from him this season.

    looked a little sluggish at times, but i think he's the right guy to help the starting unit get some scoring punch. made a couple nice off-ball cuts that we need from whomever is playing sg (i think reaves can do this, too, and wonder if he should get a starting shot as well).

    I liked what I saw especially given the lay off. I think he can contribute.

    I was thinking that and this team needs more a scoring punch from the bench than in the lineup imo. We only have Dennis who can get us 15ppg from the bench.
    But then you suffer a bit on defense if you play Schroder and Nunn together.
    It's tricky

    Looked pretty solid after missing the entire season. Can't complain much at all. He needs some minutes and he'll contribute for sure.

    Considering the slow ramp up and the time off, looked good. Timing and reads were iffy at times, but as he gets used to NBA games again and chemistry builds that should get better.
