I loved the two man action between Monk and Bron at the end of the 4th
So this the first time in his career hes been a consistent starter?? I see 1 start in 4 years prior to this stretch of games. They might have unlocked something. :ohhh:

I really wanna know what the Lakers are gonna do when Nunn comes back. You got Monk ballin outta control all year and then you have Nunn what the hell are you gonna even need Russ for at this point?

Nunn can compete with Avery.

Nunn can defend to the levels Avery can, but is almost more dynamic on the offensive end. That's why he keeps getting mentioned as a big part of the teams plans.

They have too many guards :mjlol:

I agree, there is a unbalanced roster that they are trying to rectify now.

One reason for that is the surprise in that they didn't expect Bradley, Reaves and Monk to be this solid, which has limited the guard minutes further.

Rondo got traded, Baze and Ellington are out of rotation. They are adjusting correctly now.

I don’t know what’s taking so long signing Stanley. :stopitslime:

The way they talking about Nunn got me thinking THT gone. :mjcry:

Can argue we could have just brought the squad back and got Buddy's value just by signing Monk :manny:

Either way I aint gon trip off of him. Breh saves his best shooting nights for the Lakers :unimpressed:

You forget Bron makes players better though, he'd have Buddy shooting 45% from three. Or at least that's what y'all told me :lolbron:

Wish we could go back sign Caruso :snoop:

Last Caction Hero and Stone Cold Reaves Austin would’ve been immaculate off the bench.

If they get value for him I’ll be fine but if they trade him for someone redundant like Terrence Ross I’ll be hot

That’s all I ask for too. If we can get a good deal then fukk it but fukk trading him for nothing especially for as long as we kicked the can down the road with Thotma.

People forget THT just turned 21. Kuz was drafted at 23 years old. Teams don’t give up on players after 2 seasons so I don’t understand why THT can’t get the same leeway. Truthfully if you look at where he was drafted and what he’s producing, he wasn’t even expected to be at this level. Not his fault Laker fans view him in the lens of a top 10 pick. Right now he should be viewed as an 8th man which is fine for now.

Naw that’s a great point, he was mid-late 2nd iirc so he’s overachieved. It’s a similar dilemma to Kuzma, he was looked upon to do more than his talent will produce right now. If he was just a nice bench guy he can have the time to work on his weaknesses.

I certainly don’t mind keeping him, but he ain’t do himself much favors. If they could’ve just let him come along slowly like Bynum then maybe he’d be able to score with both hands by now. :skip:
