    I'll be fine if they start KCP over AC. It might be better for both the Klutch factor and supressing AC's next contract a bit. But how many times last regular season did teams get off to a fast start because our starting D was too relaxed. I'm thinking a starting lineup of Gasol / AD / LeBron / Matthews / AC sets an amazing defensive tone from the opening tip.

    KCP and the Eagle are Champions and they've earned it. That's what they've done for us lately!

    Alex Caruso in a few years has a chance of eclipsing Tony Battie as the best Texas Tech player to ever play in the NBA.

    Lakers wanting Zhaire Smith whom is a free agent now is interesting. Whats with Texas Tech and the Lakers that works?

    Caruso played for Texas A&M in college, not Tech.

    found this old file

    Seems more applicable than ever. Neither LeBron or AD has won a championship in LA without Caruso.

    This remains funny months later, watch with the sound on. I still remember that huge 3 Caruso hit to pretty much seal that game too.

    i'm guessing idiots will stop being infuriated by the fact that caruso makes plays to win games this year.

    yes, he's bald. yes, he's probably better than your backup guards.

    part of the reason we didn't keep rondo was CARUSHOW

    He's going to play a big role this year and then we're going to pay the man FVV money. Lets gooooo

    Part of why I was okay with Lonzo being traded is because Caruso can do a lot of what Lonzo does. I feel like people who aren't Lakers fans think Caruso is just a meme but the guy is genuinely one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. I think he can get $8-10 million on the open market.



    pat Bev ain't a better defender than Caruso...

    I hope he’s alright, they were working on his hip on the sidelines, he came back in briefly, but then went out and never came back
