    Just one point to make, don't you think that Rob is doing what he is directed to do by Jeanie Buss????

    Right. If praise is warranted after we see him play then I will happily give it to him and the front office. Until then it’s just one more question mark with this team for me.

    I'll take the size of the 34's all day long.

    He's been pushing and pulling Javale around a weight room for some of his physical training this summer. Supposedly per a post on LG Toronto fans are pissed he got away because they didn't have faith to think he would recover from the clot problem and waived him.

    I was being nice by adding a (maybe) next to Bronny because he might turn into a decent player by season’s end. I’m fine if you want to place him in the “unplayable” category.
    I will stand by my opinion regarding Hayes and Reddish because there are multiple seasons of data which clearly show both are awful role players.
    JHS isn’t surprising anyone this season- he’s still a project.
    Again, we can’t waive anyone because Rob gave out these POs like candy corn on Halloween when he didn’t have to.

    So, Rob has zero power when it comes to picking players? He’s just a puppet?
    No, I don’t buy that. Of course Jeanie has veto power, but she isn’t picking these squads.

    If the 34s start off with the ball, there’s no way the 23s are getting it back. Just dump it into either Shaq or Hakeem every time and it’s over.

    I was very excited to hear about the Lakers acquiring hall of famer Koko B. Ware. His aerial skills could have been a threat at the hoop and his tough no nonsense style would have added a dog to our squad who wouldn't let A.D. get punked.

    I will just have to be happy with who we actually got. Welcome Christian Koloko B. Ware.

    I don't like Logan Paul. I don't want him around Laker merchandise.

    i like both mays and omoruyi from the bits i've seen, but they can't crack a rotation right now unless you're in trouble.

    sorry, this doubles as a "the margins are a bit overrated" post.

    what i mean is i've definitely seen flashes from these guys that suggest they can be legit nba bench players, but the probability is like 1 in 50 that someone who's already had the opportunities they have will suddenly become an impactful nba player. happens, but don't hold your breath or lose sleep, depending on context.

    i've been out of town during the koloko discussions (if there have been some), but i view it similarly. definitely has some stuff, not holding breath as some sort of solution.

    i don't think his stats were great, but to me, he jumped out as a guy who might have an nba future (most of them did not). problem is he's not a center. but he seemed like a high iq, mobile big forward with some developing skills.
