The irony that DLO is probably (partly) responsible for Swaggy's resurgence this year. How many times has DLO hit Swaggy perfectly right into his shot pocket?

This is why I don't mind keeping Swaggy for this year and moving Lou.




Keeping Nick is important for Russell's growth in the starting lineup.

So Steph bowed out to Klay? Boo. This was supposed to be the tiebreaker year.

On another note, I love seeing Lakers rep these competitions

Yeah, keeping him until he leaves the team for more money and years after this season is over.

That fact alone also diminishes his trade value big time. That's not going to make him an attractive trade target for too many teams. Who is going to take the next step because they signed Nick Young with the Warriors and Cavs out there?

Might as well keep him so Russell can continue to grow.

He would still have value for teams that want to make that next push. Happens every year.

Congrats Nick!

He'll compete against:

Klay Thompson
Eric Gordon
Kyrie Irving
Kyle Lowry
Wesley Matthews
CJ McCollum
Klay Thompson
Kemba Walker


Ah, they should have included Marc Gasol. He's actually ahead of all those guys in 3 point shooting except for Lowry and McCollum.

Lakers Teammates Help Nick Young Prepare For Three-Point Contest

Quote:
Known as more of a scorer than a shooter, Young won’t be the favorite heading into the three-point shoot-out, but Lakers fans know just how deadly he can be when he gets in a rhythm. This season, Young is shooting a career-best 42 percent from downtown, which puts him in a tie with Seth Curry for 13th in the league.

Do we only own one ball rack? Clarkson rolling the cart around trying to retrieve balls in time for Swaggy to shoot does not seem like the most optimal manner to prepare.

I remember pulling Byron like it was yesterday. It was the same contest where Bird beat Dale Ellis in the finals. Bird waived his hand in the air before the final money ball went it.

I could have sworn Kobe was invited once, right? Funny I could clearly remember Byron, but not Kobe. But I swear he was in the contest once. Anyway, will be fun pulling for Nick.

I recall that one...wasn't the live camera positioned right behind him on that last shot?
