    I’d like to see Jones (or Bryant), AD, LeBron, Reaves and Nunn. This is what we got two should be “decent” centers for.

    I think that’s the best possible starting squad.

    Individually the players are better than last year but holy hell this is still such a poorly constructed team.

    If the Lakers are NOT embarrassed by their shoddy performance tonight against the Kings, they are stupid. Regardless, the Lakers are screwed. This team is going to suck. the sky just fell. What was that?? A 47 point loss to a crappy team!!!

    this might be barely a playoff team if Lebron and AD keep healthy.

    that was a very disheartening loss. Not sure any of our guys have a serious run left in their tanks. Even Lebron.

    I knew we would suck but this is just pathetic.
    Good thing Rob will fix all this next season or the one after that... or before his contract runs out in f***ing 2064

    Turns out shooting and defense are important for NBA teams. Who would’ve thought.

    As soon as the other teams got serious we started getting completely exposed..

    Oh wait. Actually we lost games before the other teams got serious too.

    what a mess.

    I honestly don’t know how much of that I will watch. This team will give effort but they have some glaring flaws that we’ve all pretty much noticed and commented on.

    I think there will be anger at first but folks will just start naturally turning the games off.

    I think we’re about to see how much damage the team can withstand in the present. There’s only so long you can stink and still be attractive to other stars. We saw that first hand when no one wanted to come here for years before LeBron came.

    Russ just needs to turn into 2-3 rotation pieces.

    Idk how or who, but it needs to happen.

    It’s a 7-8 seed team with a mostly healthy Lebron and AD. But as mentioned a bunch of times we don’t have a starting quality center nor shooting guard, nor a solid off the bench wing. Maybe Brown or JTA can be that guy but we shall see when they return.

    Obviously we are playing the waiting game now to see if Indy will come down in their ask by the deadline or if something else comes up with a tanking team. It’s just a shame we couldn’t move Russ this summer as we will have to suffer through a rough first half of the season.

    zero defense and shooting is the worst part

    two of the most important aspects of the game and this team completely fails at both. i don't think this team will even make the play-in game as constructed

    Troy Brown Jr will be the Trevor Ariza of this season.

    What a mess.
    Currently, this team is not even a play in one.
    Russ will be out of the League after this season. Honestly, nobody wants that cancerous attitude on their team.
    At least Rob is happy with that fat extension.
    Ham gets my vote for COTY if he leads this group to a top 8 finish.
