Well on the one hand no more "Swaggy P"

On the other hand he shot well last year...

But on the other-other hand... He's off the books. :rockon:

I'll celebrate after he officially signs with someone else. But this is a good start.

End of an era.
Hopefully we can fill the roster with players who take their craft seriously and less clowning around.
Maybe he will sign with the Nets :)

He started off shooting great when we were 14-14 or whatever we were, but he came back down to earth the rest of the season

I'm going to miss him as much as I missed Smush Parker.

Well... one serviceable guard left on the team in Clarkson. I haven't read all threads yet or caught up on the news but at last understanding he was still on the Lakers.

I know a lot of people didn't like Swaggy P, but I thought he was cool. Not a winning basketball player, but he was chill and fun to watch. JC prolly not happy his best friends on the team are gone lol.

I would imagine this is how new contract negotiations would go like with Nick and Rob:

I think he would have fit well next to Lonzo. The smart move would have been to opt in, win a starting spot like he did last season and explore the FA market next season when teams are going to be spending money.
