Go ahead and hit us with the updated Lakers' shooting numbers to kick it off, EL.

I remember quite a few people on here didn't want Lauri Markkanen. Whoops...

When he was a RFA before being S&T to Cleveland. Board was definitely split on whether to try to get him or not.

Im not sure if he was ever available for what we had of if he should have been our top priority which was my argument. I think the SnT proved that we weren't in the running.
Regardless, I think it all worked out with Wood eventually coming here and I'd rather have Wood.
Still, I'm thrilled for him. That Euroleague run certainly gave him a boost and he's gone full super-Saiyan and the Jazz are making Minnesota look like the second stupidest team in the league after the Lakers. Jazz got so many FRPs for their supposed stars and are yet staying relevant and have massive assets for either a rebuild or to outbid us for some roster upgrades if they continue winning.

Top 3 in 3pt%
1) Cleveland - 44.3%
2) Nuggets - 42.6%
3) Mavs - 41.9%
Bottom 3 in 3pt%
28) Timberwolves 29.5%
29) Bulls 29.3%
30) Lakers 21.2%
HUGE 8% gap between second to last and last

Eric Bledsoe signing with the Shanghai Sharks. Pretty shocked no team wanted him.

His efficiency has plummeted since his first couple of years with the Bucks. I'm still a bit surprised, too, though.

Lakers cruising to an 0-4 start... do they break up the team? Does Lebron authorize a trade to a contender?

Meanwhile, DSJ is averaging 13 points, 6 apg per game on 52% shooting and 50% from three. But man, we just don't have minutes for a guy like that right?

I wish we would have picked him up instead of Campazzo. Glad to see him playing well in Charlotte though. Probably getting more consistent minutes there to contribute.

Agreed. I still have my DSJ jersey hanging in my closet, so it's just bitterness from me. I hope he keeps it up.

?Russ was awesome for us off the bench! Great energy and he swooped in to save us with his 6-17 shooting and 5 TO?s! This puts us firmly in the drivers seat for the wembanyama sweepstakes. After we draft victor we?ll be able to draft bronny the following year. And it?s all thanks to Russ!?

I can see ten problems with the Nets, but none of the top 5-8 are Nash.
Probably good for Nash to be away from that organization, though.

I'm not going to conclude anything on the Udoka stuff. Too many variables and unknowns. She could be just as equally at fault, and we will never know.
At first it was consensual and then it wasn't. Either way, obviously not an acceptable thing to do from his position and definitely not to a married employee who just so happens to be married to a FO employee.

Kyrie was completely full of shit when chose to opt in. If he really believed in all the bs he spouted, then just opt out and do that crap instead.
Money talks and bs walks.
