    Really nice to get someone that wants to win a championship badly. Those are the guys that do whatever it takes. We have at least one guy that seems a bit satisfied.

    He's a great fit. So glad we got him. Vet presence, plays some D, and can knock down the open look. We have a good amount of time for him to get in the groove here and contribute to our playoff run.

    I love how Markieff doesn't hold onto the ball. This allows other guys to shine. I do like him being more aggressive but it seems the plan is to let Kuzma take most of the shots when they are both out there. He's very good defensively both in the perimeter and interior, can make timely threes, and swings the ball quickly when there is an open player. We got this guy practically for free. Thank you, Pistons!

    Yeah, his 3-pt shot looks very solid. He'll be useful for sure. We added exactly what we needed.

    I got a new favorite Laker player. Mamba-tic qualities in his statement. Make sure Kuz’s locker is next to Chief Kieff.

    Big Chief Kieff :giggle:


    I love the acquisition! It's fabulous to pick up a guy with his size and skills and athleticism who can also shoot really well and has some post skills as the cherry on top of the sundae.

    He's been fantastic - I am very happy with this pick-up. Imagine if we gave up Kuz AND Green for Marcus...

    He was barking at the bucks bench to shut the hell up, and he looked very serious about it. He needs to reup with the Lakers in the offseason.

    He and Brook were going back and forth, I think. He's not one to be f'ed with

    His back to back buckets were also key to keeping the Bucks at arm's length last night.

    I don't know what you guys are talking about. Marcus Morris was secretly sabotaging the Clippers as a Lakers spy. Thank you Marcus Morris!

    He did what we needed him to do. Play tough, hustle, and give us some solid minutes covering bigger wings. He did a decent job at Montrezl but the refs made it look worse than it did by giving Montrezl phantom calls. We paid nothing for him and he's giving us 15-20 minutes of unselfish/tough presence.

    lol, and if and when the Clips get eliminated, they can switch out. But we got the better Morris anyway.

    Obviously isn't going to score a lot, but he has a been a big impact in whatever time he is on the floor.
