If the suck against the Kings though.

Just got home and saw the final score. Debating whether or not I need to watch this game. Hmmm

Just watch the Kuzma youtube highlights. The rest isn't worth it. No Ball and no Ingram.

Man, he performs even without Lonzo. This is how we know he is the real deal. He (Kuzma) is riding a longer wave than Randle has ever been on in his career. He almost has to start from Day 1...

You guys need patience , some analyst posted that Denver will be the surprise team this year , he wrote it like a month ago , and the preseason validates that they are a solid team.. this year..

They played with one starter.....

Its both amazing and sad that Kuzma seems to already be a better player/fit than Randle

[Ball so hard]

I just think for the starting group: Kuzma fits so much better. Is he a better player than Randle? No. Should be play more minutes than Randle? No. But for that group, with the way Lonzo plays.. with the way Ingram plays.. etc.

I'll reserve final judgement until I see Brook and Randle together.

I think he is already a better player than Randle. The only thing Randle has on Kuzma is rebounding. Kuz is a far superior offensive player. On defense Randle may be marginally better, depending on which night you're watching.

kuzma is just tailor made for todays game. awesome picking by magic and co.

I think you mean Ryan West + Jesse Buss.

And I would actively look to package Nance + Zubac for a wing shooter right now.

Magic stated Nance is a wanted man right now. No need to trade him for a shooter when we're not competing against the Warriors.

If other teams want Nance, they will have to take one of our bad contracts along with him. Deng or Clarkson. Might not be realistic but Nance is much more valuable to us than Randle, Clarkson, Deng, and Zubac.

Randle needs to go before anyone else.

I think Walton's prospects as s head coach will rely heavily on his ability to recruit a good defensive assistant coach. By now it's clear he can't coach that side or motivate players to give effort.

He needs his version of Ron Adams.

I thought that's what Shaw was brought in for. Doubt they get rid of Shaw so i think we're stuck for the foreseeable future.

I think Lopez and Bogut will change our defensive presence immensely... So let's not judge our D too much until we're at full strength.

I also think Bogut was brought in to be a Defensive Assistant of sorts... So let's give him a little time to get established.

Also, we were a terrible team on D last season, and the only real changes we've made outside of the ingured Cs, is we brought in a bunch of rookies, and KCP...

Honestly, there's no reason to expect this team to be a whole lot better than it is right now...

Totally agree. We need a defensive coordinator.

Lakers have zero talent on the floor right now outside of Kuzma. It's hard to watch.

And yet Kuzma is doing all this with no talent around him. Imagine if he had really good players around him
