    I like Garza. I think he will have nice NBA career. Would not mind drafting him. He is the kind of 5 we need.

    Will check out later ^^^^ but am going to assume this is at least somewhat Kobe inspired and there remains a connection to how he did this part of HIS legendary tryout for the Lakers .... back then probably had a different name.

    We need someone with muscles. Not someone nicknamed Bones because they're skinny.

    Maybe it’s ironically given nickname the way I call you young pup?

    I prefer to overthink a bit. Obviously any season that Lebron and AD are healthy we will win the championship. What are the odds of that actually happening. I have confidence in Lebron's training. He is a Master. AD though, not so sure. He is fragile by almost any standard of measurement used. I want a team constructed around Lebron that has a chance even with AD out. It seems 50/50 at best AD will be healthy. I'm keeping AC, THT and drafting Duarte if still there. Looking less and less likely. I want a mobile center that can play in the playoffs.(any ideas?) Others can be traded if needed for younger legs. Possibly the biggest thing don't bring back team chemistry siphon DS. Plan is fluid...lol

    Cameron Thomas reminds me a lot of Lou Williams.

    Chris Duarte was invited to the Green Room on draft night. There goes the pipe of him falling to our slot.

    You are likely right but I'm not giving up hope. Wouldn't mind Isaiah Jackson or Sharife Cooper. Each of them would fill a huge hole we have. I just don't want to trade the pick. We will get a good player and fill a need.

    yeah, i've kinda waffled on him based on reports/video i've seen (admittedly not a ton). i don't think he's got a klay thompson release, nor is really a playmaker, so it's possible he's not great. people forget that kevin huerter is/was a pretty good athlete. duarte isn't.

    don't get me wrong; he's not a bad pick where we're at, but i don't think missing on him is the end of all things.
