    8/18 and 4/6

    Can D'Angelo do that for an entire season will be the question.

    D'Angelo first and foremost must show continuous effort on the court without slacking and going through the motions.

    Once the consistency is down, then we can figure out at what numbers he plateaus.

    I wonder if we can package it with one of Mozdeng for "Jack in the Box" and the rights to Mama's Pizza, currently in Milan.

    I actually hope you are making a backhanded comment about Russell, cause if you are actually saying Chick-fil-a is overrated, I feel sorry for your taste buds...cause they can't be functioning. I like Russell, but you can't speak ill of Chick-fil-a.

    why wasn't he talking about going to panera bread? lonzo ball would be going to panera bread. and that's why HE's the lakers' next franchise player.

    Haaa. Sort of, sort of not. I was going to go a little further to make that connection and incorporate another fast food joint, but decided against it. But, yes I do think it is overrated. It looks the part, but lacks enough flavor.

    How do you guys think Russell feels when Lonzo says "They need a PG, they need a leader"?

    From a fan perspective, it's true. I've always seen Russell as more of a scorer than a point but when we drafted him he was hyped as our future point and I'm sure he bought into that a bit. I think eventually when they start playing together Russell won't have any issue when he's the beneficiary of good passes from Ball and ends up averaging 20+ ppg, but for now I can see him being a little upset.

    Also, Chik Fil A is elite-tier fast food.

    Russell could be a very good Pg or a very good sg, and he's maybe the closest thing we have to a leader. Nance might have more of those leadership skills, but people are unreasonably harsh on Russ. It's a shame. Like they're trying to run their best young guy out of town.

    I think Ball and Russell would play very well together, and with how unselfish Ball plays I think Russell would only benefit as far as scoring goes. Ball isn't a guy who holds the ball and dribbles and dribbles, he likes to move it quick, so that wouldn't be an issue sharing it with Russ. As far as being a leader I think Ball is right, it's something some people have naturally, and he seems to have it. I don't think he'd take over the team from Russ, but I think they'd meld well, Russell seeming to be more on the lighter side mentality and Ball being more business-like. Balance, sort of like we had with Kobe and Lamar.

    Russell says he is a "Leader" but I have never seen him "BE" one.
