I want him gone. This team has no need for 31 year old knuckle heads. He doesn't shoot it well enough or consistently enough to justify the headache...
Let Swaggy work.... he's motivated and he has a role he can fill being our shooter, he's still our best shooter and Lukes system will be perfect for him and he will at least up his trade value
Dude, this might sound crazy, but imo Swaggy is playing the best/most consistent defense on the team this preseason (maybe slightly behind Nance). His on ball defense has been solid and dude is crashing the offensive glass.
He still does some "Swaggy" things once in awhile, but u can clearly see him trying to play within Walton's system. I have honestly been impressed.
Shoutout to Calderon too. On offense, the dude is solid. Dont think i have seen that dude make the wrong decision on the Pick and Roll this preseason. His defense is Suey though. -

I've literally went to war for Swaggy this summer going to every BBQ and every barbershop tryna sell that Nick was motivated, every1 thought I was buggin, he's making me look good rite now -

Spacing is a problem for the Deng-Randle-Mozgov trio. Really affecting our offense, not giving our guards enough space to the rim, leading to tougher shots.
Based on how fast he improves and gets stronger, the ideal starting lineup for this offense will have Ingram at SF, Deng at PF and Mozgov at C. -
These youngsters got me real optimistic for the future. BI is going to be special. Russell is looking like a totally different player under Luke. Randle is still all gas, no brakes. He's got to learn to slow down some of the time.
This is going to be a fun, frustrating year. -
Do u smell what Swagg is cookin?

I like this new Nick Young.

I hope I was as wrong about Russell as I was about Kobe. This young cat is trying to snatch the reigns.

I'll take this balance every nite

82-0!
But this was a cool start to Luke's tenure. I like that he's letting the players play their games. I loved him putting BI on Harden and having him run the point. Laker Luke gon have these youngsters playing spoiler by the end of the season.
I've been saying it but this is JC's year. His aggressiveness in the second half impressed me. Randle's playmaking and lack of tunnel vision last night were a present surprise. -
In Luke We trust!!!
