Can he improve? Sure. Is anybody going to value him in a trade? Probably not because right now he's just a guy. Right now there are two dozen guys in the G League at the same level as he is. You Laker fans overinflate what he is because 1) You're Lakers fans and many of you are delusional when assessing the value of your players 2) your franchise is bereft of decent assets so you're overplaying the value of literally the only asset the Lakers possess.
I never said we should get a haul for him in return, LOL.
He's 21. LOL.
Cool. Other than shitting in your hat and hoping what have you seen that says this dude will be a solid player?
Unless he wants to go to a for sure playoff caliber team with a different role that could offer him the MLE $10.09M. He could still be working up to that big contract.
He can score. Showed that his first 5-6 games consistently when he came back from his injury.
I never specifically said that but I said we won't see that growth on the Lakers and his role. Like I mentioned, we never saw the ceiling or true growth of Ball, Randle or Ingram, we saw flashes. They moved on and they seem to breakout, could be the same for THT but I wouldn't put him in that class.
And I never said you did.
I'll pass on 41% and 26% from 3. Could he have potential? Sure but a lot of young players could have potential. He doesn't bring back much value in a trade unless you attach something with him.
People said the same about Lonzo his first few seasons.
And your point? I specifically said he would see more growth on another team but that does nothing for him now and his trade value. He hasn't proved anything to this point. Right now he is just another young player with potential in a league full of them. Join the club
You can't read, huh? In that post.....it clearly says when healthy.
Maybe but KD is likely too emotional to make that call
