Not gonna lie. I've been dying to get some offense outside of Bron and AD

Same here! We needed someone else who could create their own shot. Can’t wait to see Dion and Kuz together!

I like it because it makes sense and low risk. We obviously need another creator off the dribble and another play maker. I want to see him impress on defense. We all know he can shoot and score. My friend from Miami who is a die hard Heat fan said that when he's into the game, Dion is a very good one on one defender. We'll see.

Here's hoping he's been on a diet since he's been away... My take on his edibles thing had nothing to do with weed... I wondered who was letting his fat ass score baked goods?

Now we play the Waiting game and see what happens

Wow. Just wow.

I hope he don't mess up vibes and chemistry w his "hero" mentality.

I don’t see him getting many mins
It’s not a low risk move either

I think the ship has sailed for Kuz. He'll get traded next year on a renewed 10-15 mil contract, which can actually bring some assets back.

Lakers brought in Markeiff & Waiters cos Kuz couldn't do it.

Kuzma man, it's a no brainer. KCP is consistent. Danny green is a vet and is consistent at least on the defensive end. Kuz will not see significant playing time outside of the first round if dion waiters shows he's consistent and not a knucklehead.

You mean crap assets we missed our window to trade Kuzma twice.

There goes the last of Kuzmas trade value we're going to get low-balled this summer.

they still have him locked up for next year. Why trade him this summer? If the lakers fail this year, they need to keep him and just hire a coach that will use the youth of AD and kuzma. Kuzma can play fast pace, his per 36 is just as the same last yr.

He's not an all star, star, etc. He's overrated in that regard, but he's good enough you don't trade him for peanuts.

It is what it is. Dion Waiters, come on down.

I think we have enough veteran guys with strong personalities on the roster like LeBron, Dudley, McGee, Rondo and Davis that he either stays in his lane or they put him in his place immediately if he steps out and does his stupid ****.

Its also his last of last chances to earn a living playing basketball.

If he´s prepared and locked in, Waiters is a good player. At the very least, he can create his own shot.

SweetTouch · Post #19 » by **SweetTouch** » Fri Mar 6, 2020 9:57 am

He can create his own shot as he has the ability to do a crossover and pull up

That said, the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then, and we just need one good game (10 point) in a series

If he can't nut up and try to win a chip, his career is over. I'm hoping he knows that.
