Love the quote from his agent .. keep putting him in trades for second strong centers .. some folks at Lakersground just LOVE doing that

Looks like the three ball is coming around .. bit early for him. Usually picks up second half of the season .. seems like he is always slow out of the gate with that. He fires up a lot of hand grenades over the course of the season as well. 3 seconds or less on the clock and a teammate says here you AR ... that gets balanced out somewhat by the fact that he gets a lot of bankers .. without calling glass

Luka misses game .. AR another 40+ game. With Lebron in the game (4-17 shooting, ouch) AR becomes the #1 option and outscores Lebron 44-8.

You have a 27 year old just in his prime, playing like one of the best players in the league and there are STILL Lakers fans and pundits who want to dump him for an increasingly oft injured, wrong side of 30, Athleticism dependent Giannis, which would also require us to take his two brothers who aint shit.

FFS, just don't resign Bron and his kid next year, go find a defensive backup C, one or two solid e&D players and two solid bench scorers, including a microwaver if you can find one, maybe bring back Monk if you can, younger players if possible to be in line with Luka and Reaves ages, and build the damn team around those 2. They have shown they can play together, play off each other and literally have one go off in any given quarter. It's like they trade Luka 1 and 3, AR 2 and 4.

It's actually silly how good AR has become, literally becoming the poster child of betting on yourself. Like him or hate him, Darvin Ham recognized he had something in AR and gave him minutes and now JJ just loves the guy, as do pretty much all his teammates from what I can see. He gets along with and appears to be able to PLAY with anyone. After the Dallas game AD traded jerseys with AR.

Wow .. he goes cold and so does the Lakers game. Damn they REALLY need some defensive players on that team

Out at least a week with left leg issues .. or they want to minimize his floor time to moderate his potential contract, take your pick
