Lonnie Walker was assigned to South Bay for practice today, to be recalled after the practice. Sounds like he's getting close to a return too...

Okay, @DJ

Not even your proposals come close to this level of delusion.

WTF is this guy on?

Bridges and the Suns give up two 1sts?

@Shanemansj13 , you see this shit?

Told you.

Marketing Gold mine for the Lakers.

Japan's NBA streaming service crashes before Rui Hachimura's debut with Lakers

After getting traded from the Washington Wizards, Rui Hachimura made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers last night. The interest to watch the Japanese forward’s first game with the new team…

46 % from 3 this year is what I consider a sniper.

Sure, but same # of makes per game as Harris (and coming off of injury). Hield is making twice as many per game, more of a green-light player.

Let’s see….

One guy is 31 coming off of ligament reconstruction surgery on his ankle and is making 19 mil this year and 20 million next.

The other is 26 coming off a calf strain and is making 14 mil this year and a shade under 15 mil for the next TWO.

Tough choice on which guy I’d rather have going forward.

Hield makes 20.5 and 18.5 and is 30

vs Harris, for sure

No doubt.

I would think most Lakers fans would be highly disappointed if you blew next years cap space on Joe Harris.

If he rounds back into pre injury shape, he’d be good.

But, not good enough to change your fortunes on his own.

Heid AND TURNER, my guy.

They need a two for one with that Westbrook deal.

Just letting it expire and having limited or no space by adding just Rui and Harris is malpractice.

But, in a vacuum?

Id take Buddy over Joe.

Higher percentage and makes twice as many per game.

 

[bksballer89]

I wonder when they announce the all star teams

Starters tonight so reserves should be next Thursday

sorry got lost since the discussion originally started as Hield and Harris

Thunder showed last night that player development is still what matters most. They wouldn’t be playing Dieng after him being out so long if they were really pushing hard for the playoffs. I’m fine with it, they are still going to win games.

Who you got?

West

Lebron, Jokic, Davis, Luka….

I feel like SGA deserves the other guard spot.

But, Steph or Ja will get it.

Sabonis over Davis is a dream people should not expect to come true.

East

Durant, Freak, Tatum, Mitchell, Kyrie…

Haliburton might clip Kyrie.

We shall see.

How are you feeling about Shai’s chances as a All Star Starter?

Fan vote only counts for half, which is good considering Curry has a 3 mil plus voting edge.

Im more worried about the players and their stupid ass voting habits.

Last year, Kyrie got more player votes than Jimmy Butler and he had only played 7 games because he didn’t want to get the shot.

More than half the players did not vote Joel fucking Embiid as starter worthy.

That’s clown car shit.

It will be because of the players if he doesn’t.

The media will vote SGA.

Dunno if that’s gonna be enough.

But, it is possible.

I don’t feel good about much that the players have say so over lol. I doubt many have gone from not making the team to starting all at once. I expect him to be a reserve.
