n defense he has great anticipation for jumping into passing lanes and getting the steal. He is one of the best in the league at that.

His on ball defense is not good though, I have been very disappointed in that as I thought he was supposed to be a lock down defender and hie isn't. Lonzo is a far better defender on the ball as is Hart.


Then it would be foolish to sign KCP at his present salary next year. Especially if Lonzo and Hart can play better defense.
His offense is very inconsistent.
Was hoping that KCP and Lopez would be better than they are.
Especially at highest salary prices.
Good part is will open a 2 max possibility if stretch Deng.
And can keep Clarkson and Randle at more reasonable salary.
Next off season will be pivotal for the Lakers.


Agreed, I think mainly they were aquired due to the fact that they are ending contracts and won't be on the books next season. Still wish we could have aquired KCP for $800k less so we did not have to waive Nwaba.

The amount of $ KCP gave up to sit out for his 2 game DUI suspension and subsequent jail time is greater than what Nwaba was owed.

Let that sink for a second.

Meh. Nwaba had a great stretch for a month or so, but hasn’t done a lot since. He’d be nice to have on the roster for cheap, but I’m not seeing a reason to sweat letting him go.

Good game. I just feel weird watching him play when him, the team, and the fans all know he's just a mercenary gunning for his next contract, which will 99.9% not be with us. But to his credit, he's really reigned in the bad shots and plays within the offense for the most part. I hope he closes out the season strong and gets a solid deal somewhere, but it won't be anywhere near the $80M offered to him by the Pistons a year and a half ago with the way the market is shaping up this summer, unfortunately for him.

Yeah. Hart's arrival has made that loss negligible.

He played great last night, this is what he can do. I think now that everyone is playing better, the pressure for him to score is gone.

KCP put together another solid game. Scoring, rebounding with good (by not spectacular) defense.

20 point, 7 rebounds (7 - 10 fg with 3 treys).

KCP has actually been pretty good for us the last two months. He was great in November, but it's that horrible December that did him in with all his legal troubles. His minutes have gone down now, but he's recovered quite nicely in January and February with a much more reliable shot and great efficiency overall.

NOV - 15.2 pts/5.4 rebs/2.6 asts/1.9 TOs/1.8 stls on 43/37/74 shooting splits
DEC - 13.1/4.9/1.6/0.9/1.8 on 36/29/79
JAN - 12.3/3.8/1.8/0.9/1.3 on 45/46/74
FEB - 11.5/6.1/3.1/0.8/1.6 48/41/75

Give this man some props. The bad shots have gone down, and the ones hes taking are going down far more consistently

I feel Brook has overtaken KCP as the most infuriating starter on the team. KCP is just kind of out of the way now
