    I like it. Let's give this a try and we all hope Lonzo starts so this is a way for Rondo to get some run with the 2nd unit except Kuz won't be playing along side him with him starting.

    I know it's Lonzo's first game back but we should try and use normal rotations/mins tonight, rest everyone that needs rest next game before entering the season. What are we, like 8 days away?

    Can we wear the Purple Statement Jersey's tonight? I wanna see what those look like on the players.

    Also, apparently there's a Magic Johnson inspired City Edition colorway that leaked at Foot Locker too.

    Really excited about seeing a glimps of the full team debut. Lonzo is that X factor that can change the game in a blink. Changes them to a top 5 NBA team. Best of luck to Luke though he's like playing with a lot of combustible parts. If he can get them to run together you have your Ferrari ... but it could also end up on the side of the road. I think Luke's right with his focus on Defense. He's been preaching it since he arrived, he now has the players to show off

    Nothing at all.

    Not only does Hart deserve the spot, but he's a much better fit next to LeBron while KCP seems to gel with the probably even faster lineup of Lonzo/Stephenson/Kuzma/Beasley.

    Hart's going to eventually crush him competitively and all around 2 way player performance wise with Consistency to top it off.

    But that may not mean that he starts, and Luke may still want him to come off of the bench

    Yeah except it makes a hypocrite out of Luke which I don't think he is, regarding the 4 positions besides LeBron. At some point if health is with us Josh and Lonzo are moving into the starting lineup.

    As long as KCP doesn't finish games or pulls one of those hero shots like he did in front of Kobe...
