    Austin has proved he the kind of guy you can build a team around. He will need another star around him. That will eventually be Max but while he develops Rui will have to do. If it was me I'd be giving AR the keys to four wheeler next season. LT is right, Ham needs to take off the blinders and let AR free. We are not coming close to seeing his arsenal yet. The way he comes to play and his smarts makes him so much more fun to watch than the other supposed stars.

    Austin, I would love for you to stay, but honestly, you should go to Spurs if you can. Ask the Lakers to not match. You, Wemby... should be betterthan dragging Bron's corpse through the season, while AD is watching from the sidelines...

    Please don't leave, but you really really should.

    Guy was steady again. He and Rui are top priorities this off-season.

    Can't wait to see the gym rat get after it and he can sleep on his new pile of money.

    Strength and more dribbling. I wish he could add a couple of inches to vertical, just so he doesn't always have to do those pivots in the paint.

    Other than that, I'm not sure he has any glaring weaknesses at all.

    i think we had to go to lebron to close for a lot of reasons, but i wonder if austin gets the rock on one of those if we don't get a bucket.

    so weird how comfortable i was when he had the ball in crunch time. 2nd year undrafted! craziness.

    Make him a Laker for life.

    Dude really showed out after the deadline and this playoff run. Can’t wait to see how he improves over summer. And hope we give him a bigger role

    Reads to me like Harden is a sure thing for Houston. All 4 named, maybe not Cam, don’t really fit their current timeline
