You get benched when your team desperately needs size and you’re their only size, and then you go back to that? What a tool.

Hell yes! I'm a big fan still and he got a raw deal with all the criticism last season.

Ayton and Hayes are going to own the west down low. Jokic probably watching these signings closely.

I mean, who else would even sign him? Ayton is taller and longer and better but he can't play 48 minutes

Luka, Lebron and Reaves are going to have to carry the thinking load in this roster.

Yo, if I was runnin' the Lakers squad, I'd snatch Al Horford quick, no cap, drop that BAE bag on him, make it stick. But Jaxson Hayes? Market ain't poppin' like that, why rush the play? Feels like they doubtin' the Horford chase, from afar, it's lookin' shady, Weezy way.

They have Kleber now.
The fact that JJ played Kleber who hasn’t touched a basketball in 6 months in a elimination game over Hayes says a lot.

Imagine criticizing someone for taking 2 million dollars to sit courtside instead of learning Chinese.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Kleber

The guy is beyond washed. And as a former Mavs fan I liked him when he could still play at an NBA level
Ayton has warts but is light years ahead if you're seriously talking about Kleber

If you want to develop and travel the world, playing in Euroleague would be a more interesting and better experience.

NBA and all other sports leagues love retreads, especially when they’re only 25 and athletic. He’d be fine landing a job elsewhere.

Not bad. He can be a lob threat in the regular season. The Lakers were winning when he was their only center. Come playoff time he's useless, but that's what they are hoping Ayton is for.

Retaining talent is something the Lakers have struggled at so this is good. He knows the system and will be much needed.
