I hope this is the case, it's probably the only reason we can be happy about this signing.

No Puke!!!

Luke has put together 3 or 4 good games lately.

3 or 4 good games compared to the other 56 where he has been a complete waste.

What exactly is a good game for Luke anyway?

He hit some shots, made some good passes, got a few rebounds, played ok defense. The main thing is, he didn't turn the ball over. And I care less about the previous 56 than I do the last 3 or 4.

True, true, but Luke really needs to be on a team that is loaded with talent. He is an above average passer, with nobody to pass it to. Every other aspect of the game he is below average.

As much as I agree with you and think it is good for Luke or any other Laker to start playing good now, those other 56 games counted just as much as the last 3-4.

I think he's going to take away his minutes, just because I don't see him taking George's minutes. He will also take some of Sasha's minutes. I see him playing around 8-12 minutes (pushing it) If he's playing well he'll get more. Just wonder how his legs are going to be. Since he is a jump shooter he will need his legs and since he hasnt really played significant minutes I just wonder?

The main thing is that his confidence is slowly building up again.

Kobe and Smush will play less. They're both wearing out a bit.
Sasha and Luke will have to earn their PT a bit more, but I doubt it will plummet for them.
