    I agree with too much hype, I think his dad's mouth had a lot to do with that.

    The kid might end up like Todd Marinovich, has some talent but overbearing father, the hype and pressure was too much. In a few years they'll find him passed out, naked, with drugs in a neighbors backyard.

    Good for him. I've followed the NBA a long time... Better chance of getting struck by lightening than punched by an NBA player on the court.

    KCP was picking on Tyler Ulis. What did Lonzo need to hang around for? Lol

    he just walked right past everyone involved in the melee. Apparently he didn't want to get a tech.

    He's a rookie who has a loudmouth dad who is playing under the biggest spotlight in the NBA. I get that we all want immediate results, but I think everyone needs to just chill about this kid. He is barely more than a year removed from playing in a HS gym.

    Here's the other thing - What were the Lakers other options at PG? D Russell?? Cancer and now injured. Plus the Lakers got significant cap relief a got rid of the worst FA signing in recent memory in Mozgov. Trade for ____???? Who is going to give the Lakers a starting PG without asking for key pieces in return? No one. FA PG? Nothing worth ruining your salary cap over. So the only choice is to play Lonzo and get him some experience.

    Lakers need to be castrated, they’d be better off for it

    Pretty sure they have testicular cancer right now

    He played better when he had the afro.

    Regardless Lakers should have picked Tatum and developed Russell. The trade was not good. Only a Lakers apologist would say otherwise. Why say you can improve Ball's jump shot but you can't turn Russell into more of a leader? -both things take time, but neither one easier than the other imo.

    D Russell snitched out a teammate and broke up his relationship/engagement. Pass.

    It's funny how that's unanimously perceived as a bad thing. As if that blondie should be happy not to know her fella's sleeping around

    Also funny to hear mike d'antoni's wife troll magic last night. Maybe some day magic will have someone undermine him the way he undermined d'antoni.

    He sucks. That jumper will allow him to only play like 5 years. Honestly lakers used him as a crutch.

    Who's going to be the best of this draft 5 years from now? Mitchell is the real deal -I put him ahead of Tatum.

    Fultz is aesthetically pleasing (until you watch him shoot).

    Josh Jackson is the dark horse imo -pity he went to the Suns who already have Warren...

First ... 2345
