    The 2019 draft class will be way weaker than the 2018 one according to experts

    We have the makings of the next dynasty if we don' get impatient and blow it trying too hard to get free agents.. Luke is figuring it out with the players. Keep this crew together.. we have chemistry and desire to win. I'm hoping Mag/Rob can see that.

    agreed, but I think fans are more impatient than management. We're not winning anything this year, and things are looking up. What's the point of messing with the offseason flexibility you already created at this point? Unless of course they view it as helping the 2018 plan be more glorious. At this point, I'm holding onto Randle, going after PG, and maybe Cousins. If not, I'm ok filling in the blanks with reasonably priced talent.

    Let the kids develop. We already have nights where we compete with the best teams. They need time and experience to become more consistent.

    Dear Lord .... please don't let Larry Jr. lay an egg in the Dunk contest at Staples like Shannon did on the road.

    Yep...now there's a reason to watch All-Star Weekend... I'll probably skip the main event.

    Any other team have 2 players in this game from this year’s draft? No? Well how about that.

    He's going to. Larry like Shannon is a great in game dunker, but lacks any creativity that is paramount in dunk contests.

    Sorry but I don't see this ending well
