showed alot of improvements after game 1 of preseason. i hope josh hart keeps that starting 2 guard role, he's a perfect and it showed clear as day. the starting unit starting to gel too more than the bench. the 2nd unit needs lonzo or rondo badly, im still sketchy on kuzma playing the 5 -- offensively he's gonna drop off badly playing out of position on defense.

lakers need to pick up a legit back up with mcgee -- if he gets hurt... lakers are fukked.

zubac -- its time to get waived. he's not an nba player. still dont understand why we kept him over thomas bryant. :jbhmm:

I disagree on Zu, I liked what I saw in this second game. If he can at least produce on offense I’ll live with him being putrid on defense.

There has to be some serviceable big man in the G-League or overseas somewhere. I’m ready to waive Zubac and get some kind of athletic warm body to backup McGee.

Where is Brandon Wright? Tarik Black??

Hopefully Tyson Chandler or DeWayne Dedmon asks for a buyout soon, or maybe we can get one of the Kings’ 7 centers for a future pick or something.

there's a reason why I didn't hype up Svi in summer league.

guys who are automatic when games don't matter don't impress me. like sasha was automatic in practice but garbage in games.sure he can get it together one day but the whole he's ready right now was a little too much

I think Svi will thrive more when our offensive sets are set up and everyone knows what plays to run. Right now our offense is like glorified pick up basketball. I don't think Svi is that kind of player who thrives in that. Guys like Korver and other 3pt specialist wouldn't do well in the preseason games we played so far either.

How are y’all so down on on Zu after that last game? I saw some really nice, very crisp hook shots. I was also glad to see that he was able to do those things after starting off badly again.

I don’t disagree about needing another big but last game got me intrigued. If nothing else, I think Zu can end up being serviceable this year.

Plumlee took his cornbread repeatedly. He moves like he’s got concrete blocks for shoes. And his skill set doesn’t fit what we need at that position.

He’s always had a nice touch around the rim, but he hasn’t shown any signs of getting better against NBA competition since his rookie year. I believe playing for Croatia in the offseason may have stunted his development.
