If the Lakers didn't re-sign him and he was doing this with another team, this board would be throwing a fit like they did with Caruso.

He's the real deal and only 20 years old.


He'll be 21 in like 5 days.

Yes, LeBron found a great one.

I can see THT remaining a starter on the Lakers.

Ask Dellanova. Austin Reeves is next. Those guys are a dime a dozen. A player of THT’s build, with his skill set at his age are rare.


Watching Caruso on the Bulls shows he’s anything but dime a dozen. But apparently you missed what’s happening so far this season.

But realistically BOTH THT and Caruso should be on this team. Going with Nunn over AC because he was 5 million cheaper was the real major mistake.


Nunn wasn't the mistake. It was the $44 million dollar man Westbrook. A healthy rotation of Nunn and THT, with Caruso and Hield coming off the bench would have been phenomenal. Or Nunn and Caruso off the bench, but you get the idea.


I’m not disagreeing but we all know that Westbrook is part of the LeBron tax.

So i guess the Trade THT for a superstar talk can start.

Doesnt pay to be young and pretty good on the Lakers. Recipe for getting shipped out

Is he good? Seems to be a get them stats in garbage time type dude right now who loves to monopolize the ball and disrupts offensive flow... I guess we'll see how he plays when LBJ is back, but I wouldn't go overboard right now...

With Russell Westbrook on the floor, there is no offensive flow. Any disruption to that is welcome.

IT'S OFFICIAL !!!!

Lakers fans think even posts about their back ups are relevant on the General Board!

Thanks for the report on those amazing three-game-averages, I'm surprised you aren't updating your posts after the first two games. You know if you project those averages over 30 years ... THT is going to be the leading scorer of all time. WOW!

Aren't the Lakers great! "We Laker fans have our own board, but we want to keep the rest of you updated about THT's incontrovertible progression towards being the GOAT". Shall we expect another installment tomorrow?

Luckily other fans have more sense and less ego ... and we aren't flooded daily with daily posts about Dalano Banton and Jericko Simms. Come on Laker Fans - jerk each other off in private please.

Unnecessary bashing of a fanbase. You are free to ignore any thread, and free to be annoyed by some of the more populous fanbases at realgm. But baiting and attacking fanbases is against forum rules. Reporting on a player who has recently returned from injury and had a hot start is thread-worthy enough. Disagree with the opinion that THT is officially good without turning it into a referendum on/scolding of a team's fan base.

He's averaged well over 30mpg since coming back from injury... I mean, I'm a Laker fan and think much of their play is garbage right now, but 30 min of garbage time a game seems a little high to me...

Not sure OP a Laker fan. Some people actually like this kid's talent. Have also been keeping an eye on this one, but also, no one complains about the other 1000 threads where we roast the current Laker roster ad nauseum. This isn't that bad.

It's my new thing. Every time I see a Laker post on the main board, I ask them to use their team board. Dude, I checked their board ... outside of "individual game threads" there have only been like 5 posts on the Laker Board all month. There are sometimes 5 Laker posts a day on the GB.

Laker fans use the GB as their board - as long as they continue - I'm repeatedly using sarcasm to make the point ... If you don't like it ... go somewhere where everyone wants to talk about the Lakers.

There are 4 Curry topics in the first page. Where you at dude tell them to take it to the team board.

You'll note I'm not stating there should be no Lebron Posts on the GB. I get that most people want to have conversations about superstars. I've participated in lots of Westbrick posts this fall, and I only just recently started suggesting they now have devolved into "Laker" posts.

Don't cry about how many people want to talk about Curry - he's amazing and has taken a team many thought wouldn't make the playoffs and made them top of the league - go make a new post THT ... on the Lakers board. If there's a bunch of Juan Toscano Anderson posts ... I'll complain.
