    i just can't believe he's still talking about the lakers at all. don't talk about your clients' teams. maybe don't have a podcast.

    well, forget that then, lol. rich paul ain't sending anyone here, and i'm ok with it at this point.

    tbh, i've already kind of given up on that. i do think we should make a huge RFA offer to him regardless, though. you can't let denver sign him to a friendly deal. make them have to move somebody to keep him.

    Luka is having to take a bunch of save the clock shots. That's the problem. This team is much better with Luka and AR on the floor than when LeBron hits the floor. I think that LeBron is not happy that the team is no longer all about him. He just can't let it go that he is no longer "that guy". He is checked out right now and it seems that JJ doesn't know how to navigate this thing.

    Ayton also doesn't play well with LeBron. LeBron needs to move on.

    Rich Paul needs to be sanctioned. That guy is an idiot.

    LaMelo turns into 6'7" Steph Curry when iso'd against Luka

    Meh I thought both Luka and Lebron played well and wanted this one - they weren't helped that Charlotte has 4 big wings who can shoot. You need the rest of the team to step up to win against Charlotte. Rest of the team let the stars down in this one.

    I am not sure what we're trying to do with this much load management. This is not about Luka, BTW, he's really trying to play through everything, but other guys are constantly rotating in and out of the lineup. How are they supposed to build any chemistry?!

    Why didn’t he sit the second night of the b2b? Guessing this rest was planned last week, though. This week’s schedule is rough.

    This is a good decision.

    We're tired for 5th in the loss column with Houston and Phoenix has 17 in the loss column having lost 2 in a row.

    Should be okay. Play Nick Smith and Kobe Bufkin a lot.

    It’s s***ty players brought in by a s***ty GM. No one should be on this team at the end of the season other than Luka and Reaves at 30 per. Everyone else can go. Jaxson Hayes is ok for 3 million as a back up too if you can’t fill that roll.

    Fwiw Rich just absolutely garunteed that Austin wouldn't get traded for Jackson Jr. No way in hell, Pelinka would contemplate doing that deal now.
    Austin is now practically as safe as Luka!
