Its really not that big of a deal. Its a generational gap thats it |
A generational gap between the vets and the players they’ll have to go to war with that is being further highlighted by their antics.
It’s like you’ve brought the suits in to your office, in a potential acquisition, and your interns are doing Tide Pod challenges as they tour the place. Generational gap, sure, but that doesn’t mean its not bad optics. |

Basically "ok kids, that's enough. Summer sucks, its boring, but get back to work now"
Same with Momo. Knock it off, heaven forbid a 20-year-old & a 22-year-old took it a step too far & don't understand the public optics. Don't think Public Relations were their majors in College. It's foolish, it's over, if you do it again, you'll be joining D'lo. |

Very happy to see the FO step before it goes too far and hurt team chemistry and morale. |
Are you being sarcastic? |

Not at all. Did you see Lavar on Cowherd's show? He was trying to fan the flames of a feud between Lonzo and Kuzma. Yes, I know the usual rebuttal is ignore Lavar but it's undeniable he has a huge influence on Zo. It might still be jokes even after the diss track but it was only a matter of time before it went to far. For example the prank war between Swaggy and Dlo. |

Yup. That’s the problem with those kinds of prank wars. There’s no way for both sodes to come out a winner.
Someone has to publicly give up (and thereby lose), or they edge closer and closer to a line that shouldn’t be crossed until someone ends up crossing it. |

i don’t mind them clowning but following a 35 win season you can always expect some blowback...if you’re contending not so much |

Yeah Kuzma's mother on if Kuzma would be offended by Lonzo's "line about his non existent father"
@KarriKuzma
You can’t miss what you never knew.
In case you didn't already understand that Kuzma didn't give a darn.
But as is typical, the media cared more than he did.

Just heard that segment, was thinking about transcribing it here but decided nah, people will get their undies riled up either way. |
"I know Kuzma and Lonzo have spoken."
They speak every day and Kuzma wasn't offended by that diss track.
As his mother put it, you can't miss, what you never knew.(in reference to Kuzma's biological father)
Why do these people always gotta make it sound like more than it was?

You don't know what his mind set is... that's what his mother thinks.
Maybe she's told herself this so she doesn't feel guilty.
It's a complex issue, and outsiders will never know... but that alone isn't evidence that it didn't bother him.
If they are happy on the court together like nothing is different... then you know it didn't matter much. |

| Is everyone forgetting that Channing Frye and Richard Jefferson used to do the same type of (bleep) on the Cavs lol. Maybe they didn't take it as far as Zo/Kuz in the type of insults but the whole roasting thing was definitely still apart of that locker room. |

The concern wasn’t for Kuzma, if that helps clarify things. |

I think y'all are taking things too serious. This is what builds chemistry, not destroy it. They are tight and kuzma enjoyed the diss. |

Generational gap or not... it's lame and SHOULD be toned down.
Kuzma hasn't proven shtt in the league... some decent games on a garbage team doesn't mean anything. Look how Clarkson looked in Cleveland. And don't get me started with Lonzo... You can't expect a team full of Kobe's ... but keep your head down and focus on your craft before you get too Hollywood on us, boys.
I saw a tweet where IT jokingly asked Kuz if he was " really going to be doing this (silly stuff) all summer?" and Kuz basically told him too "shut up, Stewart (sp) Little" For all we know, IT might have been trying to suggest Kuz to cool it... but Kuz just keeps the ball rolling with more jabs and roasts.
Now that might be all well and good... but come on man. You think a Vet is going to want to take that from some snot nosed 2nd year player?

i agree. Kuz talks wayyyy too much (bleep) for not having proven anything. There’s cocky and then there’s what kuz is doing. He should just keep quiet and stay off Twitter for a while and quit trying to roast your teammates. Specially the vets. Tf is wrong with you |

Not everyone is made for LA. DLo and Clarkson showed us that. Lol

Congrats.
