    This was my favorite part about seeing Zubac making 7m a year with the Clippers. They were so conceited about robbing the Lakers of Zubac in the trade. While it might not have been a great trade, our front court is going to obliterate the Clippers front court. It is going to be beautiful watch AD and Cousins go to work down low against them.

    Look at KCP detroit defense highlights, just needs to be consistent and be held accountable

    Vogel has a tough task ahead, but I hope he gets these guys to give full effort.

    It also starts with Lebron and AD, can't have best guys being lazy. Lebron should be rejuvenated. Hoping they can lower his min to 32-34 min a night in regular season for next 2 years.

    Then in 2021, having won a ring or not, we hope Lebron opts out, takes less and we have enough to sign another big piece

    When opposing guards and forwards penetrate the lane against us with a healthy McGee or Cousins with Davis...this could be what they will see:

    Boogie is a beast. If he plays 70% of his talent he will average a double double. My concern with him is he can't keep his emotions in check. He don't know that LA players don't get the benefit of the doubt. Dude got T'd up a lot on other teams. He won't last long with refs in the PnG. Great signing though. A great talent with something to prove trying to get his next payday? Yea I'll take it.

    70% of Boogie is an elite role player at a minimal cost.

    It's going to be hard for him to have that inflated ego on this club with all the history and playing beside two MVP caliber players.. could get interesting. Always liked his game never liked his attitude, I don't expect that to be an issue anymore.

    We have decent perimeter speed at 1-3. James does takes plays off on D, Rondo isn't as quick yet plays with smarts. Which leaves Green as our key defender akin to Robertson when he was healthy with OKC.

    he doesn't seem to have issues with teammates, its just his mean mugging demeanor n he does take plays off especially when he doesnt get foul calls for him offensively

    This is the signing of the off season. Boogie comes back to 80% and a 20/10 player with good interior D and we are the best team in the league. If he peeters out we are one of the top 6 contenders in the league.

    People forget how good AD and him played. Although they were an 8th seed, they had started to figure it out when he went down. What’s more their best player at the time was Solomon Hill because Jrue was injured. KCP is far better than Hill and Green is better than Jrue, then we got Lebron on top of that with Kuzma as well? Would be great to get one more impact player like Iggy.

    Feel the exact same way.

    GS used him a lot during the regular season out of the post and were generating quality looks; teams have to double him. He creates gravity, which is so key.

    He is also able to operate at the top of the key, set screens, pick or pop, etc.

    Oh, all for $3.5 million I'll take it.

    I believe he wants to win a title enough we will get the best of what he has left, which may very well surprise us.

    We also got him for less than the Warriors paid, and he was coming off the achilles injury then. That’s wild.

    Yeah, the average age of this locker room just got a what, 4-5 year bump? Even Kuz turns 24 this month. And we have 3 head coaches. For some reason immaturity is the least thing I'm worried about with Boogie. Health and defense. My man does well with these 2 items and we get some contributions on D from guys like Rondo and Kuz and we have one hell of a team. Nobody, not the Clips or anyone is guarding all of LBJ at the point, AD, Boogie, Kuz and (put 3 & D guy like Green here) when they are ballin'.
