Never said it was ideal

But Ingram and Kuzma are both y’all humans that can shoot over people

Like Simmons, a shot away from greatness. 2 really. Ft and 3 pt. Will one of them figure it out from 3? Ft?



Simmons is so much better at so many other things than Lonzo and has size to bang down low when needed. They're not the same class of player. And Simmons still has a better shot than Lonzo (not saying much).

Lonzo absolutely needs to figure this shite out. He was literally a worse free throw shooter as a Laker than Shaq. That's insane

He needs to go back to the drawing board, work with some great technical shooters like Ray Allen in the off season, and rebuild that stroke.

And maybe a sports psychologist, because he basically had the yips.

Yeah Simmons without a jumper right now is still a really really good player. With a jumper he’s a perennial first team All NBA player in the league most likely. That is not the case for Lonzo and I’ve defended him a lot

According to multiple sources Julius Randle asked to be renounced by the the Lakers once it became clear his role could dramatically change this season and the team wasn’t interested in making a longer term commitment to him.

If Randle had a midrange game I'd be banging on Cuban's door to find someone to take Matthews and sign him

This. He was a 41% college three point shooter and 68% from the line. He was better than that in HS.

Him being terrible last year is way below his average. Not panicking and getting his head together could make him average.

Eric Pincus @EricPincus The Lakers' relationship with Aaron Mintz of CAA was not a fruitful one - poor mutual experience with D'Angelo Russell, Lakers' prioritized cap room over an extension for Randle, benched him, etc. - George didn't give Lakers a meeting. It's all connected and apparently over
Zach Lowe also saying that while it's complicated, a S&T with Randle is still possible.

I know AD doesn’t like to play the 5, but this opens up the chance to sign and trade Boogie
