this would imply we have more decent-sized moves incoming, i'd think. as we're well shy of worrying about that right now if i have the numbers right. i wonder if this is just creative use of the extra 2m we got from the ayton trade. did we do this with grimes's contract?
I don't know why they did it that way, but it does imply there's a plan behind and I love to see it. Really want to see the FO being creative and exploiting every single avenue, it's their job
Folks are going to like crazy Ivan. He can't jump 2 inches off the floor, but he goes hard,with some edge and a little violence, He's going to be a fan favorite.
Sandro has good feet and instincts, doing spins, dishing off, use both hands. Lot to like. Jumped enough to at least have some dunks in the highlights...lol. Brings a lot to the team.
Two similar positive posts with exception of Slick's can’t get up 2” smack. Where’s that coming from …. I saw at least one dunk too well over the basket one handed to make the point, like Reaves, he’s “sneaky athletic”. Here it is posted from Astros. https://x.com/EuroBasket/status/1962136668678345132/video/1 On another note the third time I came back to the Mamu clip above THIS clip popped up following it. WTF!! Some of these vehicles perform “differently” https://x.com/Jaiathalien/status/2074456101702029504/video/1?s=46
Jokic can’t jump and he’s in the MVP race every season. Bird couldn’t jump and he and Magic literally saved the NBA from going the way of the Dodo.
Dude has some “guns” on him! Noted in photos at SL of him aiming a camera with long lens from the stands. Slick said he goes hard with some edge and a little violence. Will take his word and am happy to hear that after losing Marcus. Adou seems like he maybe could be a similar type player and hope that’s the case. Guys that size could dish it back when punks want to take shots at our guys. The SL team looks like it’s pretty rough and tumble if not exceptionally pretty in its play, with opponents routinely losing steam in the 2nd half.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kessler has some chippiness to him too at his position. Out of necessity. Hope he's actually mean and focussed when he gets pissed.
Mamukelashvili, 27, could compete for a starting spot in the Lakers' new-look frontcourt after enjoying a breakout season for the Toronto Raptors. The power forward, who averaged 11.2 points and 4.9 rebounds during his one season in Toronto, said playing in Los Angeles represents "the biggest stage." "Growing up, watching Kobe [Bryant] and all these players, the Lakers are a household name," Mamukelashvili said during his introductory news conference. "It's unbelievable to be here and have a jersey with my last name on it. I have a 'Mamba Mentality' tattoo. I just love [Bryant's] mindset. Growing up, I used to say, 'Mamu Mentality.' It's a little far from each other, but hopefully we can get it closer." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/49352392/
