Probably why they got rid of him. :dhd:

Seriously though, they were talking about this on KLAC today. Sounds like Brown just hasn't really panned out and wasn't going to be part of what Luke wants to do. Better to cut him loose and see if he can catch on with another team that may have use for him.

As for keeping MWP...he has proven to be good veteran presence in helping with the development of the youngsters. So, while he won't play any more than Brown would have, at least he contributes his knowledge and experience.
And that's the thing about it - I think a lot of fans have forgotten that when Phil Jackson joined the Lakers - Kobe and Shaq were not exactly seasoned veterans. They were young and raw talent with zero titles. Phil brought in Ron Harper, Horris Grant win aging experience to be their leaders. I look to see Metta World Nutcase to be an assistant coach for the Lakers when he retires

Is this going to substitute for the game threads we had back when I joined in 2014? The ones where @Retroram52 were contributing the running commentary.

Great game. I didn't expect them to win, but I thought they'd make it a game and cover the spread. I know it's just the proverbial 1 game, but this team is going to do what I said and surprise a lot of people.

I was very pleased with what I saw last night. Young bucks looked great and we played as a team. One small negative that I noticed was that Tarik Black was getting abused on the pick and roll. I'd like to see Zubac get a little bit of run

Sorry old man needs his rest lol. If I make it to 11, something is wrong.
I'm relatively young and most times I have to skip halftime and the 3rd quarter to make it past these Laker games being in the central time zone

Nice instruction by Deng on Russell who screwed up. With Metta and Deng, Luke has some nice player/coaches for the young guys.

Loved seeing Deng pull Russell aside like that. Loved it even more that Russell appeared to be listening intently to what he was saying.

Really liked what I saw the other night. As I've been saying, this team is going to be fun to watch. I don't think they'll win a lot of games (30-35 is their ceiling), but I think they will be more competitive and a lot more fun to watch.

I agree. They will be fun to watch and see grow. They looked like they were having fun unlike last year.

They moved the ball well against the Rockets on offense. If they keep that kind of team first attitude up they will be fun to watch.
