We’ll have to change Kostas’ contract before end of season in order to keep him. Other teams will soon make offers, like Miami and Milwaukee.

He’s a legit NBA player who needs to fill out and gain some experience. He thinks the game the right way.

Edit: How about Kostas, Kuzma (S&T), Matthews, Cook and filler(s) to Milwaukee for Middleton?

THT and The Carushow stay here no matter what. They’re a part of our showtime identity.

Middleton and Ariza manning the wing would be sick.

Wesley Matthews gave the Lakers a discount so he has a chance to get a ring, and now you ship him back to his old team? You really don't think most players(esp future free agents) look at how teams treat their players? Phil Jax said Lakers could have easily waived Vlad Radmanovic for breach of contract when he injured his back snowboarding and lying about it. Lakers gave huge contract to Kobe when he was clearly on the decline his final 2 years, I strongly believe players and families are taking notes about how teams treat their employees, ask AD's dad about Boston.

Oops. Oversight. Bad on me. Agreed. Long term is the only term.

I'm glad OP isn't the Lakers' lead scout. That was an embarrassing post.

He looked nervous last night, but Kostas has been pretty good in the G league, and you can't judge a player's talent in 15 mins.

I would certainly cut him and find someone else better with the second two-way spot.

Agreed. Caroline, too. We’ve drafted and acquired extremely well since Rob.

I’ve missed the pre-season games besides some highlights. Is Kostas not looking good?
