watched a little bit of the preaseason matchup yesterday too and boy oh boy Cam Reddish.
I don't know why but I began to root for him a little last season. that said, I can't believe how a player with an obvious skill set and basically perfect body for a 3/4 can be THIS bad.
Last Night he looked absolutely and completely done and in his own head. Going 1-11 and even in a team with just 3rd stringers was the absolute worst guy on the floor. Just insane

Who do you like on the Lakers? They are the corniest team. I would say corniest ever, if not for the fact that Schroeder, DLo, Beverley and Tristan Thompson are no longer there.

Goes to show you how little I can stomach watching them. I just can’t. I’m trying to be a positive thinking person as much as I can, but my main goal each season since LeBron joined them has been for them to miss the playoffs. The rest was secondary entertainment up until this year’s Knicks offseason.

Wow, that's wild after getting chit on by the whole universe and everyone not named Lebron.

Kind of heartwarming even with the nepotism

Many of us spent a year hoping for a game like that from Frank. Some spent much longer...

Goof work if you can find it.

Frank
Cam Reddish
Kevin Knox
Elfrid Payton

All some of the best reasons why we should appreciate our current roster. Unless one of you has advanced stats showing Elf > Brun at PG.
Nah, didn't think so.

I don't know. it might be the history of the franchise, the court, the jerseys.. this kind of stuff. And Lebron/AD are still a top duo.

One positive is that I’m sure JB and Hart will talk to mikal at some point if this continues. He might listen to them if the entire fanbase on his ass isn’t doing enough

I wonder if he could have been better if developed and not given free reign? No fix for that ‘motor’ though.
Glad to have Dadiet under Thibs.

He's been on several other teams and none of them wanted him long-term. I think he was always going to be what he is: a low-motor jump-shooting wing who doesn't play defense.
