[@ThePrivateryan]

Well said Jovan and I agree with your assessment of each athlete. People are of course going to be impatient as well as over scrutinize and be overly judgemental with all Summer League team members, but especially Dalton Knecht and Bronny James. This without placing much thought into the fact that the team has had just one week to practice together and the fact that both Dalton and Bronny are brand new to the N.B.A. As you said and as other casters who watched the game have also stated there is plenty to be positive about after this first Summer League game. All who played have the potential to become great players in the N.B.A and all of which showed flashes of brilliance in different areas and aspects of the game. Which was exciting. I'm also excited about the Lakers new ideal of farming their young talent from within and placing emphasis on in-house player development. To me this is a great new direction to head in to sustain a strong team who all stick together in L.A for years to come. This instead of what they have been doing over the past decade+ of trading away athletes and coaches each year and bringing in new and often older talent who may or may not fit within the roster and which also makes for a challenging season and a rough Playoff run. I hope that Lakers management continues to place much emphasis on this new path which will really serve us well in the post LeBron and A.D eras.💪

[@bryansmith3940]

Blake Hinson with his sturdy build, slow feet and terrific shot, is a Carmelo lite upside-which is terrific. Quite a signing! If he can drop 10-15 lbs (hard, since he’s thickly built-not fat), and works on his quickness to where he can hold up defensively, then he’s a rotation guy!

While I'll agree that LBJ taking slightly less is a good gesture for the Lakers, let's not go overboard. It is also a good move for him. Second, his minor pay cut doesn't even cover Junior's contract or his taking up a roster spot that is needed for a player that will actually play and contribute.

My larger point is there were people saying he wouldn’t take the pay cut (even I was skeptical), so I just think we should acknowledge he didn’t have to do it but he’s doing it to help the Lakers build their roster

Love this channel. One of the best Lakers/Basketball channels. Do you think any of the 2way or other players in League deserve one of the 15 spots on a real full contract, over Reddish, JHS Wood or Hayes (assuming there would be a salary/roster dump? Im thinking most of Castleton and Lewis, but potentially even Hinson? Ive been wanting to see more Castleton over Hayes/Wood this last season. Hoping Lakers get a true physical defensive backup center, so withCastleton they'd replace Hayes/Wood.

[@jovanbuha]

Appreciate you! So Lewis has a spot. He’s on the regular roster. I think it’s too early to tell, but I’d look at Hinson. LA doesn’t have a big forward who can shoot like him (Knecht is more of a wing). So if Hinson keeps this up, I can see him potentially getting a serious look

I would do it, personally. There is risk, of course. He’s slipped on both ends. Not as good defending PnRs as he used to be. Still a really good shot-blocker and rim-protector. But 7-footers that can shoot an above-average % on above-average volume on 3s + protect the rim are rare. You also don’t need to rely on him as much as Milwaukee does. Could start him and play him 22-24 min. If it’s just, say, Rui, JHS + 1st (maybe even lotto-protected), I’d do it.

[@RK-ck6pl]

@@jovanbuha I don't think we can start a true center. If you put Lebron at the 3 Reeves at the 2 dlo 1 we have absolute garbage for perimeter defense. It's kind of the same if we brought in klay. Fun on offense but the perimeter defense is worse than anyone who's ever won an NBA championship.

Every rookie will go through an NBA rookie learning curve. No one is exempt from that. It's definitely not exclusive to Bronny James. Throughout NBA history, that holds true. Even generational talents like Lebron James will go through a rookie learning curve. It might not be as noticeable or exaggerated, but it still exists. Kobe Bryant went through it. So, to have an exaggerated expectation for Bronny James, to come out and be excellent or bust, would be ridiculously insane. He will be fine and settle in once he gets more reps and shakes off the nerves and anxiety. Once he gets into the flow and starts seeing shots go in...he will be great.

He’s big from a strength/muscle standpoint for a sub-6’3 guard. He’s sturdy and strong. But he’s not big from a height standpoint, obviously. And he’s going to have to adjust as he develops

[@icecoldac3]

Lebron & AD (2 Vets) Olympics will have a major impact on this season. Pelinka number 1 target should be a high utility scorer that can win you games when AD and/or Bron is out some nights (Grant, Lavine, Kuzma). Then fill in the roster with high end role players (AR, DLo, Vando, Rui, Gabe, Christie). There’s a space where both can happen if Lakers make calculated moves. ‪🤔🤔 The fact that Lakers looking for a 3rd scoring option signals that AR isn’t the answer correct…..?

Well 2 million to LBJ may not be alot to him but if you understood the Lakers cap situation it gets them under the 2nd tax apron which will allow them to use the 5.2 million exception to sign another player as long as they can trade a player because they currently have 15 players signed so a trade would allow them to use it also open up cap space for other trades 😂
