    I enjoyed hearing from all 3 of these guys today, excited to have them all on the team this season. I think these are 3 of our best pick-ups in years. I guess I've never really heard any interviews with Bass before, thought I had, but I didn't recognize his voice at all. Weird takeaway I know, but it stood out as odd to me because he sounded different than I thought he would. Interesting that Bass said he pictured playing for the purple and gold in college and was a fan, after he finally remembered what our colors were, if true that's cool I guess ha ha.

    That's funny, that thought actually crossed my mind for a split second when he said that. It crossed my mind "did he go to LSU" or is he talking about us, but then I believe he said he was a Lakers fan in college right after that.

    Wait, people want to play with Kobe? But I thought everyone hated him, at least that's what the media loves shoving down our throats.

    Love his approach to the game. Real lunch-pail kinda guy, I think he's going to be great for Randle and to a lesser extent Black. As of right now, he's likely the second in command in terms of veteran players with a voice on the team.

    I seriously think his acquisition might be the most important to changing the way Randle approaches the game. Bass will simply not let him get away with missing the easy stuff. Randle can't miss a box-out around Bass. He can't take plays off. Bass is going to bring some fantastic professionalism to our locker room. I think he'll be an underrated signing this summer.

    A man of few words in that press conference but clearly is going to be a great leader who leads by example and will bring consistency to our team

    I didn't expect him to be as quirky as he was. Also I swear he and Draymond Green are long lost twin brothers.

    He seems to barely speak...absolute minimum amount of words used.

    Yes, he's a man of few words. Swag and Lou will end up being interviewed a lot more. :p
