Hopefully KCP will be more focused on playing within the offense this year and not gambling so much on D. |
I think you'll be more pleased with him this season when he's playing his proper role, getting a ton of shots off Lebron passes, and he isn't spending his weekends in lockup. _________________ Under New Management |

Dang JJ Reddick just signed 1 yr $12-13mm same as KCP. Guess being a friend of LBJ is worth it haha |

Yeah... last year was odd for KCP. I think this year will be better for him. _________________ "We got a new universe coming and he's going to control all our universes. We're going to put our universes together" - Metta World Peace |

I mean, from Janurary 1st to the end of the season, KCP only shot 1.6% worse than Redick from 3 (42.5% vs 44.1%) |

KCP was excellent during the 2nd half of the season. He boarded like a monster too in addition to his excellent 3 pt shooting. |

After he got out of jail he was balling.
And he's familiar with Luke's system, so I'm happy with him coming back. |

It was great to see him get involved as a team rebounder with Zo and Hart. He was a subpar rebounder in Detroit, but it looks like that was a product of Drummond hoovering up all the boards rather than KCP being incapable/unwilling. _________________ Under New Management |

Would prefer JJ. He’s way more efficient than KCP.
Hope KCP has his head in straight this season and plays up his defense |

I think we forget that KCP is just 25. His best years are still ahead of him.
Lakers now own his early bird rights too. |

This was obviously an overpay at $12M, but it's not the worst thing in the world. Dude can defend and shoot and you have to pay a premium for 1 year deal. And I'm sure it was a favor to lebron's agent. |

we gave him good deals for 2 straight years now. what are the odds, if we land Kawhi, he takes a paycut next summer so we retain his bird rights? _________________ 48 49 50 52 53 54 72 80 82

KCP is solid. Also if the Lakers trade for KL, I could see keeping him long term in an extension. Wouldnt the Lakers have partial bird rights? _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please
I would be willing to pay you for it. |

this was more a favor to Klutch/KCP than anything
Personally, I think we should have thrown that money + some to Ariza on the year deal he took. |

KCP is nine years younger and much better on defense. KCP was also lights out from the three after his legal problems ended -- 42.5% on 5.3 attempts per game from January to April. |

Hopefully.
Ideally this is what I would want:
Lonzo Ball/Rajon Rondo/Lance Stephenson
Brandon Ingram/KCP/Lance Stephenson
Lebron James/Josh Hart/Svi
Kyle Kuzma/Mo Wagner
Javale McGee/Ivica Zubac/Mo Wagner
But I guess we will see. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

How much run did KCP get at the 3 last year? Would be awesome if he played some backup minutes at the 3 to give Hart some more run at the 2. With both on the floor they could spread the floor pretty well. |

well spending your nights in jail would probably have a negative impact. |

Emplay mentioned in one of his podcasts, that he could see KCP being retained over Randle. I think KCP is going to be better this year, especially playing with LeBron and Rondo. _________________ LAKERS 2019-2020: NBA World Champions! |

Emplay has been a top notch guy in knowing stuff for a while, so no surprise that he knew the Lakers would keep KCP |

Is this opinion still being tossed about after the Clippers' signing of Avery Bradley? I wonder if professional Lakers FO troll Windy has even retired it. |
