Yeah I am waiting to see how that plays out. I am a little worried about Kuz's antics. I think he will either be a cool locker room guy or the guy with the loud mouth.

It's usually the loud-mouth that has the meltdown... And if we land some all-star talent this season, Kuz's role is going to be reduced dramatically... While Ball's will probably be elevated... By Christmas this coming season, either Kuz will have accepted his role and things will be clicking or he's going to be riding the bench... Either way, it's about to be shut-up time for him. No matter how funny it is now, nobody wants to see the 4th best player on the team showing up in Furs and talking smack to the 3rd best player...

Ball is in an interesting position... If he's really as good a 'floor general' as he's supposed to be, he's going to have to learn how to tone back the witty banter with Kuz (and ONLY Kuz) and figure out how to be a little more like IT... However, if we get LeBron and he's still taking the lead running the offense, Ball's going to have to find some way to be a spot-scorer... It will be interesting either way, to see how his personality and relationship with his team evolves...

Remember Tony Soprano's cousin Tony B (Buscemi) making fat jokes about him when he first got out of jail and Ton' fixed that cookie wagon right quick. "I'm da BWOSS of dis family, you don't make fun of me..." Kuz obviously doesn't fear getting whacked for his jokes.

They are just messing around. You only do this type of stuff with your true friends cuz you're that close.

Yeah, we've all had friends like that, right? But how long did we stay friends with them?

I know this is all in the nature of off season boredom but one of these guys are going to catch feelings if they keep going at this rate.

I’m not too concerned. Its not like these dudes are saints and don’t trash talk in practice all the time. Plus it’s clear they’re best friends on the team along w Hart
Warspite:

Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.

They seem really cool with each other. Reminds me of the Lowry/DeRozan relationship which is also really fun.

The friends that I still am in contact with are the ones that I gave crap to the most lol. But everyone is different.

I find it so weird how fans are not able to separate the TMZness of Lavar from Lonzo. The only affect this guy has or can create is by viewers complaining about his act. There has been no indication Lavar has any impact on this team whatsoever, only getting fans so triggered (which I find easily avoidable, by just not watching/clicking his attention grab attempts).
