Clipper's fan! Now I get it! Always scratching for relevance. They were head faked by CP3 and are in the "do loop" again with Leonard.

I didn't said he didn't deserved credit. He does. I just think all star ia a bit stretch and early I noted I was rooting for the clippers this year but it doesn't mean I don't acknowledge the Lakers are playing well despite kuzma. I'm critical of the clippers as well. Namely PG 13. You're kinda reaching.

I'm not a LeBron James hater nor anyone on the Lakers. But I do have an issue with the kuzma hyperbole talk. That's my only issue. This isn't a Lakers discussion, this isn't a clippers discussion. It's a kuzma discussion.

Happy Thanksgiving

Again, how does that change anything I said about my criticisms about kuzma? Are we just going to do genetic fallacies and just say opinions are wrong because of who you root for? Can't I be a fan of the NBA?

A Boston fan weighed in on kuzma, don't see you attacking a Celtics fan for saying kuzma is overrated

What did i say about kuzma that's definitively wrong? If he was traded for a better piece, I surely would acknowledge that. Saying kuzma is not an all star and that he's a roleplayer that can give you 30 some nights and avg 14-16ppg for the season isn't a slanderous statement. In what world does 16points make you an all star?



Unlike cp3, at least kawhi is durable enough to go to a finals and actually win won in any capacity.

Really?... Are all Clipper fans as unbiased about their team and completely fair about others?

Dude, if you are you'd be a unicorn sitting at the end of a rainbow in a pot of gold with a stream of hears coming out of your butt.... :lol:

I'm a player fan first and fans of teams second. I'm fair in my analysis but we can agree to disagree and let the yr play out. No problem. If kuz as as good as you guys are hoping he is, I'd come back and eat crow(not literally) would have no problem doing so.

No championship requirements are attached to it. If the Lakers fail to win the chip but kuzma is averaging all star numbers, I'll admit to it.

If they win and he's putting up all star numbers, I'll admit to it. I'm wondering if you kuzma fanatics would do the same if he doesn't succeed or will you make excuses?


Lets see. I'm willing to wait til the end of the season.

With the exception of the Warriors' dynasty, when was the last time a team had 3 representatives on the All Star team?

Good because I wasn't talking to you.

You enjoy the NBA how you want to and I'll enjoy it the way I want to. :)

I don't want to be viewed as trolling, so I'll leave the discussion where it's at. Let's check back after the season ends, where Kyle kuzma is and we'll see if he can blossom into more than a role player or is he just a good roleplayer.

I get that. No worries. I'm not hating on the Lakers. I'm only criticizing one cat and his ceiling as other Laker fans have done so in this thread. Best wishes to your team

Let’s revisit Kuz before ASB, when he’s got used to all things new, is in the groove again. It looked like his legs are getting under him, 2 of 3 last games.
NBA titles since the merger: LAL 11, CHI 6, SAS 5, BOS 5, GSW 4.

One of his legs just gave out... While he didn’t have a severe sprain the look on his face said that he’s still worried about that ankle. I hope this isn’t going to be a chronic issue with him.

So I just watched the 1st Q and thought we would be fine.... boy was I wrong

But we have been beating weak teams, and barely, as of late.

We could really use Avery back.

We for sure need to make some moves, like I have been saying for a while.

Kuzma as the 3rd scorer wont cut it

Hes not a bad player and has good value. But he is not consistent or ready enough to be a true #3 guy on a legit contender.

He is that 4th guy who can guy off once in a while if your guys get cold.

Tough to make a trade work with our values, especially if we wont include Green, but its possible

I agree, but man, lebron is on a mission this year. If there's anyone that can win a championship with an inconsistent 3rd, its definitely Lebron. tied best start in franchise history. Lakers are undeafated against teams under .500

if iggy goes on the lakers via buyout, it plugs the kuzma leak immediately. I've been saying this, but people here think I'm hating when I say the guy is inconsistent and a defensive liability.

that would be a terrible trade. Not only money, but youth. Kuzma is much more valuable to the lakers than iggy. Iggy is merely a rental.
