Houston will need to make a move for a steadying lead guard, and add a shooter or shooter-playmaker wing, in place of a utility wing player. I'd hone in on the eastern conf. teams and see what to get.

Amen Thompson probably a year or two away from being an adequate floor spacer.

We’ll put. They kept it alive on their defense but if Jdub was in there this would not have been that close

Marcus Smart is a piece of (expletive).

He isn’t a rotation player in the nba it appears.

Part of it is that he needs burn to figure out how to play. The issue is that he is finally getting playing time out of necessity and against the damn OKC Thunder.

He is poopin the bed but what do you expect when he should be getting his reps against bad/mid teams.

I am not high on him, but he is being set up to fail against OKC.

Yeah he only has had a year to prepare. He doing dumb stuff not young stuff.

This Lakers roster is like a developmental team for the Chinese league

Man Ayton with his body type and facial hair could easily pass off for LeBron on the court

Did I just see Kuminga play good defense on Luka and then PASS to Curry on the break???

I don't think Smart belongs to this league ..trying to injure other teams best player every play is just bad..

i dont think they will have the ability to put a chip level team around luka the next 3 years. it will be very difficult with such a poor talent base overall.

and it's probably impossible to trade lebron without major repercussions from klutch sports down the road.

Lakers are a play in team

i think he's toast as an nba guy so it will be shenanigans all year.

I see what the Lakers are doing ...

Luka & AR = Jerry West & Gail Goodrich

LeBron = Elgin Baylor

Hachimura = Happy Hairston

Ayton = Elmore Smith

I see what they're vision is, Fam, do you 8-)

?
