Is it just me, or does Zeke and Magic's relationship come off a bit......GAY?

I don't have a problem with it.

I loved both guys as players and Magic as a person after his illness.

But, Men don't call other men Baby.

Yep. I think he's a really good SCORER. But, that doesn't mean there isn't room to grow. He already does things that vets do when they need to score. That's pretty rare for a rookie - even if he's played in college. As mentioned before though he should try to work on other aspects of his game - like defending.

Scoring isn't the only part of the offensive game.

Woj said the Lakers will be a factor in free agency for Cousins.....

I don't think I like that idea. If it happens, I hope Boogie proves me wrong.

Boogie + LeBron would be the ideal scenario given the emergence of Kuzma.

Don't really need George + LeBron now.

I love Boogies talent, but his brain scares the hell out of me. Especially with such a young team. Maybe Lebron's presence would help with that?

George would play the 2 if he comes to the Lakers.

Add Lonzo, Ingram, and Kuzma plus a few added pieces.....that's a squad.

I thin Boogie was worse in Sacramento. Not sure he's as bad now.

Plus, Magic and LeBron would keep him in check.

True, haven't seen as much of his antics since he left Sacramento. If he can be kept in check, he'd be a great addition.

James and Cousins would give us an inside presence offensively and help a lot on defense.

76ers have lost 8 out of 10. I'm surprised

I think Cousins would be good with LeBron.

I get that George would play 2, but Kuzma looks like a legit starting caliber player who fits the system really well. If you had LeBron and George, you would still be very weak at the 5 and would have a glut on the wing (if there is a place you want extra long, atheltic players it is the wing, but still).

They are a very young team that will have their ups and downs......plus isn't Embiid hurt?


Losing your best player is tough for a young team.

True. Why the hell did Kuzma have to mess stuff up by being so good? lol

This off season is going to be very interesting. It's certainly not a done deal that Lebron is coming and the Lakers will only be able to sign, at most, 2 max guys.

Could make for some interesting possibilities though. Lebron and PG? Lebron and Boogie? PG and Boogie?

If the Lakers get Boogie in any combo, I'll be glad to have the obvious upgrade in talent. But it'll probably be awhile before I can watch without waiting for some kind of meltdown. Hopefully I'll have to wait at least as long as Wiggy has for Whiteside's meltdown. lol

I'm not really that surprised. The talent is obvious, but so is the inexperience. They kind of caught everyone by surprise initially and are now receiving everyone's full attention. It will be interesting to see how they respond now that they have hit a bit of a bump in the road.
