    Kuzmania with 4pts on 2-14 shooting tonight. Rook. Cool to call everybody out for quitting the other day, but back it up with better play
    Guess at least Ingram was very good and Zo played well in his return
    Another double figure scoring outing for Zo, another three 3pt makes, 3 of 7 from the arc and this..

    I believe the Lakers are the worst or close to the worst 3 point shooting team in the NBA and close to the worst in FT percentage.

    You cannot play GS' type offense with that kind of shooting. PG and LeBron does not fix that problem either.

    So just wondering where the FO and Luke want this team to go?

    Both Paul George and LeBron are shooting 40%+ from the 3pt line this year..well, LeBron's at 38% now, but he's been above 40% for most of the season and George is almost at 45%
    Those two won't fix the shooting problem by themselves, but their 3pt shooting would damn well be a fit for Luke's system
    Zo is shooting 38% from behind the 3pt line since the last week of November..45% from the 3pt line over his last 7 games, so he's now shooting the way most thought he would coming out of college where he shot it very well from deep
    If Ingram's shot continues to come along that'd be a solid core of shooting considering what Kuzma is already doing

    The Mavericks do have a bunch of ending contracts and have routinely been linked in NBA circles to the LA Lakers as a possible destination for Luol Deng. The prevailing thought is if the Lakers packed in Julius Randle and a future first-round pick, the Mavericks might have the right combination of ending contracts to get the Lakers where they want to be next summer.

    League sources said there had been zero talks about a Deng deal with the Mavericks, but history has shown the Mavericks don’t have much issue trading within Conference. If the return is right for the Mavericks, they have in the past been open to helping another team shed cap money if it’s in their favor, which makes them a team to watch at the deadline.





    I don't know. Cuban's probably still smarting from that Odom turd the last regime dropped on him. Lol

    Bogut's being released by LAL to see if he can catch on with a contender
    Julius taking over the backup center spot killed whatever role he thought he'd have, but I don't know that he did enough in spot duty to garner interest..
    Or he was already getting interest and that's how this release all came about in the 1st place
    We shall see

    I don’t see how trading Randle helps us now with Bogut gone, except for a salary dump on a Hail Mary pass trying to get two front line FA’s. This could end up being a mistake.

    But who knows, that’s why Magic makes the big bucks I guess.

    Lakers don't have a train let alone a station. More like a tricycle.

    This video made my want the Lakers to trade Randle sooner rather than later.

    When the ball goes through the hoop and hits the victim in the head, +1000 for the assailant
    Tatum is showing Pierce+ potential

    Speaking of Pierce, love how he doesn't want to share his night with IT.

    What a guy.

    He's also terrible on TV as an analyst
    He needs a setting like Chuck and Shaq have, where he can just BS 99.9% and they aren't asking him to break a whole lot of shit down
    Seems like somebody told him to stop showing up for work high as hell and he's suffering for it
    However, I don't know if I can really blame him for not wanting to share his night with IT..I mean he didn't get to finish with the Celtics after putting in all those years, so he maybe feels some kinda way about that
