Seeing that we're halfway through the season now, I think it's time for us to give the team a bit of a midseason review!

The Starters

PG - D'Angelo Russell - B

This year isn't really a season for a "breakout year" for anyone while everyone learns a new system. Especially for a player that is supposed to learn to run the offense. Luckily, having Luke as a coach made the transition a little easier. I think D'Angelo is developing, and that's all we can ask for right now. He limped out the gate, literally, and wasn't quite himself the first quarter of the season. He's not shooting as efficiently as he did last year, but he's picking it up the last few games as he's beginning to look a lot more comfortable running the offense. He still shows signs of his age, poor turnovers and odd decision making, and still needs to pick up the effort on the defensive end. But what's encouraging is that he's starting to understand his role and that he's a multi-skilled guard...

7/6/18

Updated available free agents. LA now has 11 on the roster (13 including Stevenson & McGee...but they won't count till we use up our remaining cap). We have 95.3m in team salary (sans our exception signings), so we have roughly 6.6m in cap to spend still. (Note: gray fields indicate QOs that have been tendered to RFAs and green fields indicate that no QOs have been tendered to these RFAs, so technically, they are UFAs.
