And a (bleep) fest about why Caruso gets more coverage than *insert NBA star* here.
They don’t realize the accountant’s impact. Watch the games, NBA Twitter. |

With his 2 out of 3 from the 3 pt line tonight, he is now shooting 34.8% from out there. He just needs to pull that up to 37%+. |
He is shooting 52.9%, 43.5%(10/23) from 3s the last 12 games. |

Wow, that's impressive.
He's in a good flow |

Great game yesterday.
Did a lot of point guard offense for us.
Major thumbsup to Rob and Frank for keeping this guy and believing in him. |

Caruso more consistent and "predictable."
That Lou is hard to predict. But can be so ridiculously unbelievable. _________________ Kobe's Top 5 Dunks, 81 points, MJ last gm @Staples |

Or he is the perfect kind of role player every championship team needs a few of. It would be a huge mistake to trade him imo and this is coming from someone who doesn't even normally over hype him. Unless it's a blatantly obvious upgrade you don't mess with trading big rotation players on a team that's destroying the league.
Everything he has been doing is completely sustainable.. He's that perfect spark off the bench that can completely turn a game around with defense and/or offense at any time. |

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m merely pointing out at this is the time to move on a player, when their value is high. Not when their value is low. |

So AD and Bron are also sell-high right now. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

That was the shortest "GOAT" highlight reel I've ever seen.
But great stuff from our backup PG. Loving it. |

Not sure if this nickname for him exists already but I haven’t seen it anywhere.
Alex ‘MPB’ Caruso
MPB = Male Pattern Baldness
I can hear the chants now echoing through Staples. Sounds exactly like they’re chanting MVP. |

Yup. If AD lets us know he isn’t re-signing here, now would be the time to trade him, not when he is playing very poorly.
The point isn’t to always trade when a players value is high. It’s to not trade when a player’s value is low and if you must trade, when a player’s value is high. |

What a pleasant surprise. Caruso's development is what I had hoped Kuzma's would have been. Win some lose some . As recent as 8, 9 months ago I thought he was just not NBA-athletic/skillful enough to make a pass without being intercepted, etc. Boy I am glad I was wrong.
The game has definitely slowed down for him. Hopefully Kuzma is next up on the list. Kuzma still with too much "nervous energy." _________________ Lakers fan since that Magical day June 25, 1979. |

AC has more passing chops and creation ability than Fish. Similar toughness and mentality though. |

He's slowy improving his off the dribble capabilities, from where he started the season (end of last season was a spectacular anomaly)... If he can continue inching towards what he was at the end of last season, then he becomes our clear 3rd best player |
