    I think Hart was 2 years after Kobe retired.

    D-Lo threw away a few passes but in total played out of his mind in his first game back. Those pull-up 3s? Hey, I'm a Laker fan: since when do we have guys who can hit those?

    I don't expect D-Lo to be that good consistently, but if he's 80% as good as he played tonight against TOR, we're cookin' on all cylinders. And we have a lot of cylinders now. And most of 'em can play lock-down D.

    Lebron out, we only got 8 points from AD, and we still beat a TOR team that looked like they were at their best, gettin' into the paint and bangin' on the offensive boards. We STILL beat that team by 10. Wow.

    Austin and D’Angelo …….make D’Angelo and Beasley expendable? Trade him for another valuable fitting player?

    I'm not ready to give up on Beasley just yet. Yes he hasn't shot well for us yet, but his gravity is still very helpful and if / when he's on, he's ON. I kind of expect him to win us 1-2 games in the playoffs when he's feeling it. We don't have any other sharpshooters, you have to have at least one of those.

    It's going to be a the jit when - and it is when - Beastley starts bombing with 6-8 3s in a few games.

    When he hits, dude's stroke is immaculate.

    Gonna be somethin' to see. We will.

    No we do not. We need Dlo. I'm pretty amazed at just how perfectly he fits here with AD and Lebron. I was skeptical but he's blown me away with his increased maturity and his highly developed game. And he just gets it. He gets what it means to be back as a Laker.

    I was so thrilled with what he said about what this team could do with a training camp to Trudell post-game. He's already envisioning what the Lakers with him on it could do going forward. Sign this kid up, and re-sign the rest of them! What a brilliant trade Rob. This guy is the borderline superstar third player that we absolutely need.

    Lakers winning formula always has been 2 stars surrounded by good role players

    I wouldn't call DAR a role player but he sure isn't the star Kyrie is marketing wise .

    Hopefully Pelinka won't overthink this like he has a tendancy of ( surrounding Bron with non shooters)

    The team is much better with him, and is crazy deep right now. I have a good feeling about this. Thanks Dlo!
