Curious what Lonzo's steal numbers will look like. His block numbers will be strong, too. We might have 40-60 more steals from our starting guards next year.
I've said it before and I'll say it again KCP should and needs to be a part of our future - he's the perfect fit next to Lonzo. You will love the aspects of his game he thrives at here in LA and he's 24 _________________ "Bryant has been the second best player in the NBA for over a decade, but the number 1 player changes every other year.

It's quite possible,we'll see how the season pans out. No doubt that he is, by far; one of our best players.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope All 89 Steals & 12 Blocks in 2016-17 season | Full Defensive Highlights
Pretty identical numbers to Russell. About 50 steals more than Nick.
KCP has some impressive highlights on defense that are eye catching for sure and while a believe he may be a better fit next to Lonzo, he is not really an upgrade at this position.
He was crazy not taking his 80/4 offer, I don't know if he is going to get something like that again, good for us, he may help us next season since he likes to run and Lonzo likes to find runners.

Pistons offered 80/5 (not much difference) but I get your point. No way should he have turned down that type of security. smh
KCP was ranked #19 best shooting guard in the NBA, by Hoopsworld. I actually think he's top 15. I have him ranked higher than Hood and Waiters who were both ranked ahead of him. IMO.

He's a Rich Paul client. They like to overplay their hand (to some success). I'm not sure he will beat the reported $80m over 5 years, but maybe some team might. The cap market is constricted next year and the reason why it may be tougher is at least the Pistons had his Bird rights to go over the cap. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Through the first 39 games before his injury he was shooting 40% on 5.6 attempts per game. After his injury, through 35 games, he shot 30% on 6 attempts per game. I assume he's fully healed now and I expect his 3 to be 40%+ on high volume playing next to Lonzo.
He did an #ASKKCP on twitter and Facebook yesterday. Wish more had gotten involved. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Without his bird rights, it's going to be awfully hard to keep him and sign 2 max guys.
If, for example we signed LeBron + Cousins then retained KCP, we'd be set.
Instead, I think we're going to go for LeBron + George then retain Lopez on a short deal before a larger pay day.

We have Lopez, Randle and KCP in the same situation, but we don't have KCP bird rights so if it is almost impossible to keep the first two, the chances to keep KCP is about zero.
Lopez is a Cali dude and the best player of the bunch, taking into account he has his pockets full from his previous contracts he has the greatest chance to be here after next season, still a very slim chance.
The argument for Caldwell-Pope is that the players around him held down his defensive numbers. Even the best perimeter defender can’t carry a defense by himself; he still depends on his four teammates understanding their responsibilities and playing on a string. Almost every player in the Detroit rotation played significantly better defense with Aron Baynes at center than they did with Andre Drummond, and KCP played 76 percent of his minutes with Drummond last season. According to the numbers at nbawowy.com, Detroit had a defensive rating of 112.1 when the two were in. In the 606 minutes KCP played without Drummond, the Pistons’ defensive rating dropped to 99.8.

Lopez is the worst fit of the 3 if we want to compete with GS. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
