    This morning I have heard from a person, who is well informed that Kuzma is not dating anymore Kendall Jenner. So, that my be the reason he has put back his head, over his shoulders. I hope he stay healthy and keep shooting at the same rate throughout the playoffs.

    He is referring to Dennis Smith Jr. from the Kniks.

    Look, I am totally fine with your opinion about our center rotation. I disagree - I truly think they are fine, but I can see that the way they play (mostly defense, blocking shots, not scoring much, put-back dunks when they can etc.) is not your cup of tea. I respect that and we don't have to agree about it at all. I never attacked your opinion and I especially did not attack you personally. I simply stated that I disagreed, just like you did now and that's - again - totally cool.

    Now, abeer did the same; he just disagreed with you but he did not type anything offensive, there's no reason to get pissed off about it at all. I think most of us simply think the centers are fine, while our shooters are inconsistent and our playmakers aside from Bron aren't that good. In fact... they don't even exist aside from Rondo who does everything else poorly most of the time. I think we will easily agree there. I do accept your apology about the tone, it's really OK as long as you understand why I said what I said. Everything in your post was 100% appropriate except the "...question your knowledge of the game" and "... pink glasses". That was just unnecessary. While: "karacha, I disagree with you, I don't think they produce enough and I don't like the way they play" is definitely OK.

    What you said about guards is spot on. We signed a bunch of them to hit open shots, yet they are not doing it. Some of them used to but they suddenly forgot how to do it and look afraid. This needs to be addressed. Maybe we can get Green back on track with 3s, and Bradley on mid-range shots again? Maybe we need to explore trades, just in case? Maybe we need to actually give minutes to Cook/Daniels and let them shoot for change? They won't hit anything while rotting on the bench. Caruso... he's fine as is. You know what he brings, and he brings it cosistently. Just needs to take the open 3, hit or miss. But he'll get there.

    Two more names to comment.

    PG Jamal Murray (22) Denver - 17.5 ppg - 4.5 apg - 4.3 rpg is FA in 2020. His current salary is $ 4,444,746

    PG Dennis Schroder (26) OKC - 18.4 ppg - 3.7 apg - 3.8 rpg. He has one more year under contract for $ 15.5. OKC has Ch.Paul @ PG, so they may be willing to listen any trade options for Schroder. His salary is almost the same as of D.Green so a trade may benefit both clubs.

    Both players, thought are obvious upgrade over our PG's.

    Thank you for accepting my apology.
    The thing that irritates me with this Lakers team is that the entire roster relays only on LeBron and AD. All other, with some exceptions here and there are acting like spectators. That is wrong. I am not convinced that this is Vogel's game plan. I think, our other players are afraid to take shots. That is the reason their shooting percentage dropped down so badly.But, what the coach can do is he can tell Cook, Daniels, Bradley and Caruso to shoot more often from long distance, instead of looking to pass to one of our superstars. That may change a lots of things.

    I apologize for my part in saying I was still laughing at your "our centers suck" take. I think it set you off. But "takes" are fair game if one is going to just state them as if that's the way it is rather than explaining why. Which in your "stated" opinion is because they don't score enough points. And ignoring all the important things as a tandem they do for us, especially protecting the rim, blocking shots and rebounding and being lob finishers and shot "cleaner uppers". With all the other (should be) scoring threats this is what Vogel wants out of them and they're actually a strength for us, most of us feel.

    I think that says a lot about someone who can like your post and disagree with you.

    I agreed with the welcome, and also about disagreeing with just about everything you said like I had already expressed.

    definitely didn't mean to rile you up, we're a crazy family here

    I think this is the downside of players adjusting to playing with Lebron. I'm not a fan of this style of play, but last game and tonight the ball movement is looking better.

    Great now go find that guy with our limited assets and salary to send out

    Dj Augustin is the best realistic bet

    Patty Mills is less of a ball handler but more of a scorer and shooter. Also better defender. Just not sure Pop would do it

    But I would love to send out Avery, Cook, and 2 2nds for him

    pop would rather amputate his own foot then send us patty mills, whom he seems to especially love. be like rick carlisle sending us jjb.

    augustin would be great, but again, i imagine orlando wants a 1st rounder for him, just as det will want a 1st for rose.

    I am sure he wouldn't, unless he could fleece us and point it out to the rest of the league afterwards. He would NEVER make a trade with us that could even possibly help us. ONLY if he knew it would hurt us.

    Lol augustin on an expiring isn't worth a 1st

    He is a backup pg

    He is worth 1-2 2nds an expiring

    Same goes for Rose, especially with injury issues
