    I'm wondering if this 10 day tryout means we are gearing up for a trade (assuming it goes well).

    Either way, I'm rooting for IT. As a fellow 5'9 homie myself, put on for us fam.

    This is not the answer, rather have Rondo play, IT can’t guard his shadow.

    damn it. at this rate i wouldn't be surprised if they have a full blown outbreak like chicago

    i wonder if THT was the lakers "patient zero" or if it was one of dwight/monk. those two attending a concert last week seems suspicious now

    Rondo can't guard his shadow either at least Thomas can score

    What good is scoring when you give up like 2 or 3 baskets for every 1 you score. Thomas was done the LAST time he was here.

    Rondo does even try to guard anybody....at least Thomas can go off for 15-20 points for a stretch in a game. Everyone playing doesn't have to be defensive specialist. We already have problems scoring points as it is. Losing Tucker, Monk and Russ..that's a problem that playing harder on "defense " isn't going to solve.

    Anyone have a wishlist of more washed up ex-Lakers we can call up to fill the spots of our guys in Covid protocol? :)

    It’s fine that IT isn’t a defensive specialist. Nobody would ask him to be that.

    The problem is that he’s a defensive blackhole. Opposing offenses will directly pick on him in the pick and roll and that causes the entire team defense to crumble.

    I’m okay with the signing for 10 days, but agree that Rondo should get heavy minutes and IT ideally should not be playing too much.

    Well feels like we are just signing him to stop the bleeding from all the COVID issues, so I guess. Definitely not a long term answer for anything.

    JR's golf season has to be nearly over.

    Lance is still trying to make em dance.

    Beas was trying to make a return during the summer.

    Collision was close to being one and he's still attending a lot of Laker games.

    Monta Ellis, Josh Howard, and Jamal Crawford are all former NBA'ers who have given it a shot in the past 12 months.

    Wonder if Joe Johnson can give us a week?

    Don't forget Mario Chalmers. He's been prepping.

    Wow, we don't have any people left. What in the world is going on.... just as we started playing fairly well.

    Is there an additional guard we can sign, preferably under 5'8"? Someone who can't defend?
