    he must have misunderstood the second question.

    would have liked to hear him elaborate on the kobe thing. what did he appreciate, specifically?

    He seems to have matured.

    Ditto. That would be a quick way to work his way back into the good graces of Lakers' fans.

    He’s got his flaws for sure, if he didn’t he wouldn’t have been available, plus every player does. But he’s a long way from when he was here as a kid, and even then he didn’t fear the LA spotlight or taking the last shot, that’s something we have been lacking and I’m looking forward to seeing play out

    I’ve learned my lesson a little from Dennis Schroder who I never thought I’d like again. Looking forward to seeing Dreloading. Everyone deserves a second chance and he’s obviously improved a lot since he was here last.

    Seems mature, calm and composed. Definitely not afraid to take and make big time shots.

    Loved that DLo presser, you can see how much maturity he has added without sacrificing the confidence.

    Did you hear him sniffling. That’s clearly a sign of crack addiction. Now DFish doesn’t need to tell you what he knows.

    Pull up 3 data



    It's criminal how awful the dwarf lineup was at shooting. They're all still going to get Christmas cards from Ham though. I hope he's coping OK with the loss. Do they Lakers employ a grief counselor?

    funny going back and reading the first few pages of this thread and seeing how many people were bummed they drafted russell over okafor

    also, many of us had high hopes for russell/clarkson duo

    Had we held on to them... DAR + JC would have been just fine right about now.

    glad he put this out there to help offset all the "he's going to be traded for kyrie" stuff. i mean, i could see that happening, but i think you have to work with the mindset that he's going to be here going forward. i actually think we're better off with russell, given irving's history.
