OK I thought, but he disavowed it being HIM that abeer had been totally unconvinced JHS had an NBA career ahead. There were a number of folks here going Unimpressed Squirrel on the guy. A player with his talents as a PG needs quality players around him to make plays for and find his own offense as an additional option …. and SL is a cluster**** typically in that regard for all the usual reasons. Happy to see it looks like our scouts and talent evaluators may have done it yet AGAIN. https://x.com/jovanbuha/status/1710369208943648970?s=12
JHS, Max and Austin are going to make DLO expendable for a trade for some kind of a muscle guy. The only thing we are lacking is an enforcer. With that said I DO NOT want to trade DLO. I want him part of our championship run.
I need to see all these guys in action during the regular season. I know what Austin can do, I have a good idea of what D'Angelo, Rui and Jarred bring to the table. It's TBD for EVERYBODY else IMO. We look great on paper..but so does a few other teams. I remain steadfast in Lakers in 6! Tho. The actual who's who, and who's going to do what part...outside of Lebron, AD,Austin, Rui,Jarred and D'Angelo... IDK..but we are going to find out shortly.
i don't know why these words keep getting retrospectively put in my mouth. he wasn't impressive in summer league. nobody said anything about him never being successful ever.
I said you disavowed it and I believe you in that case. Whoever it was and they (for multiples) or “he” for just one person …. were who I consider knowledgeable and they come with real strong takes. He couldn’t shoot or even his shot was broken. He wasn’t quick enough and he wasn’t athletic enough finishing at the rim. They or he knows who they were/are. Could be man enough to step up and say Yo, it was me but damn already I’m happy to have been proved wrong by the fact they’re liking him plenty in camp already. Or not. I would. Have already jokingly taken a shot at myself for honking Castleton so much by posting in his thread he’s a “bust” since no one’s giving him any attaboys yet and we should have kept Huff.
You think we'll have non-AD and LeBron lineups? I think so. If we want to keep LeBron and AD's minutes around 30 and not over use them, needs to happen. You are always staggering them in start and end of halves so that's around 20 minutes. If they are playing 30ish, there's 5-10 minutes without them. I don't mind it. I think this year's team can handle that. A couple minutes in the beginning/end of quarters shouldn't hurt. DLo-Reaves-Rui-X-Wood can hold the forth. Maybe not in the first 5 games but after that we start our first road trip in Orlando and can be a good time to deploy that as we start to flow into the season. We have a tough start: @DEN, Vs Phoenix and @SAC but we should start rolling after that. Great games to test our defense btw
I thought JHS sucked on offense in summer league and I stand by that - we'll see if that was a fluke but he had a lot to work on IMO. On defense I thought he had a lot of potential. Until I see more film I have no problem standing by my statements
Varsity was different sports. I was an endurance athlete doing track, cross country, and triathlons. but you never miss an opportunity…
Zen!! How are you where you’re at with the missiles and incursions? Hope you are safe! And too old for call up!
