    Yeah. I'm on the east coast and I've got a 3 week old so I think I've watched one or two games the last week or so and that was when he wouldn't sleep.

    One thing is sure for me though. No Kobe = more sleep :).

    Brandon Ingram the Lakers' point guard for the next decade? :Crazyartest:

    You joke, but I wouldn't mind it.

    Ingram/Russell/???/Randle/???

    Deng and Mozgov for now, but maybe not for long. Ideally Zubac steps in there. At SF maybe try to make a run at Hayward in FA? If we keep our draft pick, maybe there's a kid out there in the draft? If we can get a SG/SF type to fill that role that can defend the 2-3 and knock down threes we're in business. Ingram can initiate the offense and we can have Russell guarding the opposing point.

    Nah not meant as a complete joke really. sirron has no tongue in cheek gifs and I never get tired of crazy Metta.

    I love watching [​IMG] handle the ball with that "lempf".

    Wait. I was with you here and "liked" the post. Then I read it again and NO NO NO .... "If we keep our draft pick"


    We just can't suck that bad again this year to make that even possible. I hope I hope. :No2:

    As of right now we have a 15% chance of keeping it. Things could go badly health-wise (again) that puts us in the conversation once more. And honestly if we keep it, we don't owe any more 1sts after 2018 so there's that.

    But really it was just covering the bases of where we could improve our SF talent because I find it doubtful anyone is going to come here this summer as an RFA.

    0 turnovers!
    Liked how aggressive he was getting into the paint in the first half. Took advantage of no Whiteside.

    Some people don't like the per36 stats, so here are raw stats:

    D'Angelo's last four:
    31.0 MPG
    21.8 Pts
    4.5 Ast
    4.5 Reb
    43-39-78% shooting line
    1.8 steals

    That's a 20 year old dude.
