I like how they battled back, but what a disappointing game.
How many times have you thought the same thing? Yeah seems like a trend with this team.
Not a ton of times tbh. The team's calling card all season has been their effort and ability to battle back prior to the Pelicans game last week or so. Watching them show a lack of spirit recently, despite the injuries, has sucked and reminded me a little of last year.
But I haven't thought it a lot. It's been an overall great season to watch. _________________ Austin Reaves

I thought we hit rock bottom last game. Well, this is a new rock bottom. Losing to the Suns, another lottery team much younger than us, at home is inexcusable.
This is where I feel Luke Walton would really benefit with having a veteran assistant coach. He needs someone to play the bad guy sometimes and get on them. The effort for almost 3 quarters was abysmal.

Any chance the Kings would do WCS for Clarkson?
no chance the Lakers do that trade
Why not?
because Cauley-Stein does not have the market value as Clarkson, not even close. I get Clarkson is struggling, but Cauley-Stein has no significant trade value
Injuries or not this was a winnable game. We have to play defense, cut down on turnovers and string together a more consistent effort for 4 quarters instead of one or two. The intensity and movement was not there for at least 3.5 quarters tonight.
JC and Randle just don't get it. Randle is probably fine as our Pf moving forward, but he can't be a playmaker or a primary ball handler for us. Both JC and Randle are low BBIQ players with limited talent who believe they are more than they are.
Now Ingram, hitting clutch 3s and clutch rebounds...he has "it". DlO has "it"...hell, even lou has some of it. I don't expect anybody to be traded this season, but JC especially is not a winner...he would thrive in an environment like Philly. They were gonna make a RFA offer for him this past offseason and he has a reasonable contract. He gotta go...for Noel or Okafor, he'll let's even remove the protection on our pick to make it happen.
Trading Lou is what a smart rebuilding team would do. Lou is playing out of his mind and upped his trade value. The Lakers will not make the playoffs this year, so what is the point of keeping Lou on the team?
Say you keep Lou, and end up winning 32 games. And you trade him, and end up winning 26 games. What's the difference?
The Lakers aren't going to be a great team with Lou Williams on the team. They might become a great team if they can find a Paul George/Kawhi Leonard type player in the latter 1st round if that is the pick you get for trading Lou.

So let's stop the trade Lou posts no?
depends on what your goal is....smart GM's trade players at their peak value if they do not see them as part of the long term plan...so it depends on how the FO views him, but his value will never be higher than now
