Maybe they’re just arguing on who deserves to be on the top 75! /s

I am SHOCKED that a teammate is mad at Dwight Howard. I never saw that coming. /S

Isn’t this why the Lakers brought Russell Westbrook to calm tensions between teammates and be a good teammate?

That’d include me. I saw parts of that game too. He looked great and the Raps are gonna feature him.

I think Barnes is going to mostly struggle to score but he’s a really smart player who does lots of things - the odds of him just being bad are slim.

And I think the Lakers brought in Westbrook because Lebron has been asking for “more playmakers” on his team since Cleveland

Idk man I think there’s potential there on O. He just shot more in yesterday’s game than he basically has since Hs, and he did it well. The jumper already looks better

What I meant (but didn’t say) was that he’s going to struggle to score some this year, not forever. He shot poorly enough in preseason and summer league that I’m not ready to think he’s fixed it based on last night.

I think he has slightly lower wattage Pippen potential.

Would assume Stauskas signs with the nuggets g league, Walton with the pistons and Chaundee with the lakers, since they had exhibit 10s

Confident Franz who can shoot is an impact 2 way role player which is valuable for any NBA team. He’s off to a good start and people keep forgetting that he’s only 20 which is the same age as one and one only with 2 years of college ball experience under his belt.

Would love to see the influence of playing with his brother help Moe carve out a meaningful role for the team. His D will keep him from ever being a consistent contributor, but as a rotational bench guy there’s still hope.

Franz has a little bit of his brothers foul committing in him - missed some time tonight because of the zebras

Franz is a late bloomer and is still 5-6 years from reaching his prime years. Not sure if he would be an all star but as a very versatile and smart player, he will have a long career in this league. Mo, if he ever learns how to play defense, could be valuable coming off bench.

I could hear Fran Fraschilla exclaiming “Porzingis!” like Moe’s freshman year.
