I think it's not just DAR who's being affected negatively by the environment. I think our defense is a partial result of it, too.
Lol. Yes. Did you? He was one of my favorite "bridge" Lakers - with Ceballos, Jones, and Threatt leading the way. Nick became a very good player....
Good question. Almost like something happened between then and now. Like Lakers management.
Draft position means - literally - d*** fifty. NVE was the comparison point and he was more than a year older. DA is simply a better player at...
Wouldn't mind Johnson and Drummond coming over together...
He's young, and he's a good defender. I wouldn't mind him either - cheap. If Pop is interested, that counts for something.
Heard everyone sent lowball offers thinking they could get him cheap. If true, is salary relief and an early second rounder too little? I guess so.
Yeah. If Williams could shoot or defend - at all - he would've been in the league even longer, pushing for some ASGs. He still had a good career.
Yeah; things are heating up a little bit, but no one's going to trade for a guy who's about to play in the ASG.
Nance plays against backups. Lou often does, too, but I included him without argument. Zu plays against backups - and almost no minutes. So he's out.
Updated - Names/Market Nerlens Noel (PHI) Derrick Rose (NYK) Brook Lopez (BKN) update - they don't seem able to get a first rounder for him....
Still no trades; eh?
I think the numbers are pretty clear here - he's playing better than nearly everyone on the team, even by the advanced metrics. I'd say Lou, Nick,...
I suggest that this incalculable "attitude" factor might be a distractor from what's really going on. I know that attitude really does matter to...
Just saying that this trade works, too: (Lou for first and Sessions, suppose): 1st + Clarkson + Randle + Deng for Gay and Cousins
Not really true - he was knocked for not yet having developed his PG skills, but he was touted as smart.

Savage!
To rate without assists to compare means nothing. Fg% isn't the only shooting. Next!
He's not a TO machine or a terrible shooter. NEXT!
