    Eff Okereke. JSM hates him with a passion.

    how is this possible? This man may be favored and may need to be in our rotation. Good things seem to be happening when he's around.

    Kaluma is getting noticed. Better find a way.

    I'm guessing we already promised him a 2-way. We're just being mindful of Suder/Okereke. It looks bad to kick them so early and we probably already told their agent to start working on their contacts

    I'm just baffled he played the whole year in the g-league and nobody saw his upside?
    He scored 15pts, 5 rebs, 55% FG and 36% on threes. There's was already something there. Can't understand it

    I can hear Memphis calling him as I type.

    Hopefully pika is right and it's optics + agency favors for the only reason this thing ain't official yet

    I don’t care about the optics or relationships, sign Kaluma, we want guys that can become bench players and step up in case of injury.

    If Rob lets him get away to another team and we get nothing in return, there will be pitchforks

    I'd imagine that we probably waive Suder. Either way, I think the Lakers need to make sure that they don't lose Kaluma here.

    The game seems important to him. He may be a little weak in department X or lacking that Y attribute, but it appears he genuinely cares. If he has that dog in him he can make it if he's simply well rounded enough. I feel like he can be one of those role players we always see pop up on the Pacers of two seasons ago, etc.

    We've made some big mistakes not molding the clay in our building. Don't do it again.

    He has a real chance.

    Now we have some young talent and we have to believe this FO will continue to bring them in

    suder's gotta be done already; if we don't already have an agreement to sign kaluma to a two-way, someone else would have snagged him, imo.

    Think so. Otherwise DNP-CD'ing Suder in the finale doesn't make sense.
