His defense is nonexistent but his offense is on point. He has to improve defensively if he wants to make a difference. |

I said "statistically" bad because on sports talk radio (710? 570? 830?) yesterday, they read a stat that he ranked in the bottom 2 of 87 (89?) (pg's?) guards.

If he gives good effort that's a start. Hopefully he continues to work on his defense. His offense is steady. I'm glad we picked him up. He is an asset that's for sure. |

We did, but it was a boomerang bullet that came back around. Another year of crappy ass play, but lots of "just wait for the playoffs" hype. But then again, dude is up and down. So hopefully next year is UP. |

Horrific defender. We need someone to play pick and roll defense, especially with Boogie on the squad too. I hope we bring Caruso back.
Not a bad signing, but a little redundant with Troy Daniels. |

Its nice to have options in case ones having an off night or foul trouble.
They can both knock down shots, which we need. |

I’m very surprised. I freely admit I watched him primarily in finals but he caught my attention. Unlike a poor defender he was really getting up on folks and challenging them. Maybe he stepped up for those games or maybe after a few passes he loses his man? But I was like...what the heck this dude getting up in the raptors grills. |

And he and Green got deep playoff experience. If we should get far, they won't wet their pants. We need about everyone to have that trait, imo. No more yutes (save Kuz), we got only 1-2 shots at a title and it's gonna be harder than most of us thot since Kawhi turned out to be a creep. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

The Lakers chose him because of shooting, Burke was the better option here for what they need beyond shooting.
Who will get their own shot on this team beyond James and Davis.
This move shows me they aren't truly into the needs of this team. Yes they need shooting, but they also are severely in need of shot creation abs a guy who can break down defenses. |
They said this last year and watched "guys that can create their own offense" continually miss shots because they were NOT SHOOTERS..... |

Are we just raiding the Warriors now? Cook, Cousins, and potentially Iguodala. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

If he can drop 3 balls with regularity, I am not sure his D will even matter that much.
Obviously we are looking for guys who can knock in the wide open uncontested 3's as there should be plenty off of LeBron and Davis double teams. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |
