yeah, we all know that, and it's well deserved, but to what extent?

Max, $35 million, etc? idk, nobody else does either. There's been a few supporters in the minority that have put him at $35 million. He might even take a little less so we can add an FA wing if one becomes available Just depends.

 

He could have been fully healthy and shot like sh** and you'd still be making excuses for him.

And I really don't care about rust personally. It's the PO's Do or die. Every game matters. Time to get his injured a** out there and perform. Excuses are out the window with me.

 

Silver lining of this fall back to earth is that recency bias won't impact our summer plans.
I think we could overrate this unsustainable performance from this team and the chatter about bringing the team back was high around here and among Laker fans.
I was against it and I think it shows. We gotta get younger, stronger and faster. We need the best 2/3 defenders in the market, via trade/FA or draft. And from any position, we need to buckle up our defense, that will unlock the offense together with 2 top players at creating shots
