Re: Around the NBA XII
PHX trades the fake star for above average role players. Very crazy move and I think this puts the end to Giannis playing for anyone else.

Re: Around the NBA XII
I’m excited to see how Giannis and Dame look together. Neither has had a complimentary star that explosive in their careers.

Re: Around the NBA XII
Who bets against Harden being traded to the Clippers? After what he just said, he’ll either get traded or benched.

Hah he's been at it for more than a min. Riley might be interested in seeing if he could get him in better shape, but dude's never been a winner, so yeah Clips.

Re: Around the NBA XII
Kuminga looks to be a force to be reckoned with this season. He’ll break out into full fledged star level of play this season, is my guess. All-star team isn’t even unthinkable based on his pre-season form.

Re: Around the NBA XII
The Jury is still out, and I want to see if we truly fixed this guard situation. No I don't trust DLO when the chips are shoved in onto the table during the playoffs. If Vincent be the answer Im interested to seeing it this year. If not? We need to get on the wire and trade for the answer

Re: Around the NBA XII
I suggest we trade a D Lo package for DeRozan, after Dec 15.

Re: Around the NBA XII
If DeMar is able to help the Lakers in the shooting department I'm all for him coming to the Lakers. If not, it just clogs the paint even more.
I don't know if he'd be available but Corey Kispert is someone the Lakers should keep an eye on.

Cool. Let’s!
Does this Corey Kispert play NBA elite level wing defense? DeMar’s offense sucks, we all know that, but we don’t need more offense.
Plus, offense is easier for a creative coach to adjust to the roster than making them play defense.
You could for instance post up LeBron and DeMar while leaving Wood and Davis on the perimeter for a twin tower pick n roll or pick n pop. Defend that.
We beat the Clippers yesterday. But we almost didn’t because…? Perimeter defense.

Too bad we don't have a creative coach... lol. Not saying Ham is bad but creative schemes is not his forte.
Kispert is a good shooter and the Lakers need consistent shooting: something they don't have. They've been towards the bottom of the league in 3 point percentage for quite awhile.
There are perimeter defenders on this team: Vando (obviously not healthy), Christie (if he gets more PT) and I think Reaves will eventually start to pick it up more on that end.
