    Yeah that’s what we need, another combo guard. I’d have rather had Smart at 9 mil. He also got a player option LMAO.

    You let Kennard and Smart go for about $6 million, Tim Hardaway Jr. for $6 million to get Sexton at $9 million per year?

    What a complete embarrassment.

    sexton's a decent bench piece, but why not just bring smart back at that price? unless he specifically wanted to play for houston

    just doesn't make any sense

    He gives effort on both ends, can score, high energy player. I would’ve kept Smart though.

    Super glad we signed another small guard instead of a wing. Why not just play Bronny if you’re going this route

    I need help understanding our depth chart. I have no idea what we’re doing.

    The kind of energy that elevates everyone. JJ is the most excited person in Laker Nation right now. He won't sleep for a week.

    poor man's Jordan clarkson joins the house

    I kid I kid but I think it's hilarious that Rob finally gets the version of Kendrick Nunn he was hoping for

    This kind of energy and scoring can win you a few games when others are dragging. Great pick up.

    You see things from your coach’s lens and I admire that.

    But in what world is an NBA coach excited about losing a ton of talented good players? There is a reason why talent almost always prevails. We were already short of talent to compete and we lost more than we added.

    Sexton is a nice spark plug offensively off the bench. But he isn’t a playmaker.

    So I don’t know that he will get an tonne out of guys like Ayton, Carr, Adou etc. but he will get buckets and make shots.

    In a vacuum he is a nice pickup. Maybe if we offset Luka and Reaves a good chunk, they can handle most of the playmaking.

    I understand your thinking. JJ is confident he can put this all together and is chomping at the bit to get started. From my view we gained way more than we lost. I think chemistry and effort will be much better as well. I will admit I typically have a very optimistic outlook...lol.
