    Lakers Nuggets will never be a rivalry as much as NBA trying to create one .

    they missed a golden opportunity to pit our game against denver's separate game and send malone to an early grave.

    if it's the ring ceremony, i'd contribute to a fund that has them accidentally walk to the wrong side of the court at the beginning of the game lol.

    yeah, i definitely am not circling those games on the calendar.

    there's a chance we don't start 0-1!

    The way I see it he clearly has some issues and that perception has probably some truth to it. I think players and agents fail to see if your considered talented but difficult in this new CBA which is very top heavy: a lot of teams who want to rebuild where he he would need out to up big numbers don't want him (too good for a tanking team, not a good locker room presence for a team who is looking to step up).

    Contending teams with weak locker room also or a history of culture issues are going to go away from him. Then because of the CBA teams just don't have the room to maneuver for this mid tier guys like Wood. A perfect storm a lot like Malik Monk for the Lakers to have an opportunity on a player they normally wouldn't have

    ^^^ keep getting better with your passing and handling the ball games, on top of everything else .... Pau is certainly a great study.

    Still looks wrong to see highlights of him in a Spurs uni. The Bulls one, I don’t mind as much.
    It’s the same as seeing flashbacks of Shaq in that disgusting green and white kit.

    Hard for me to tell from this clip. At first I was thinking that I don't like that all his shots being on drives simply because they are against younger, non NBA players and he will likely find those kind of shots way more difficult in the NBA. Then they showed his outside shots but they were mostly unguarded open shots. Hmmmm, I have heard the stories about him. I would like to see some real time competition against other NBA potential players his age to see what I think.
