At this point last season, Wood was killing it here. Time is not on Laker’s side.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.

Watching Q1 of Bos-Phil..KP is obviously having a very good season so far, but he still sets those weak, half hearted screens he used to set in Dallas

Wood's first start of the season. Lakers down 30.
22 minutes. 1 FGA. 0 points. 4 rebounds. 4 fouls. The Wood we all know and love...

I think the Lakers will be fine, I think. But imagine if they go under .500. Wood may be cryptonite to good teams. Ha

Low volume but Cason Wallace's scoring efficiency is incredible for a rookie guard. Not a single game shooting below 50% fromt the field.
Eight games into the season he is shooting: 27/39 FG 8/14 3PA 8/8 FT

It was like the wild wild west last season. Sengun was always a stud. Now it comes out that there are actual professional basketball players on the team. Speaking of young stud centers. We traded our 25th pick for Christian Wood, while Detroit traded five second round picks to get the #13 pick, which is a spot where you could have drafted Jalen Duren, Mark Williams, Tari Eason or Walker Kessler. So much for that Wood trade not mattering.

Charlotte should also be kicking themselves for trading Duren to Detroit. He's better than any five man they have on their roster.

Actually relieved this was not a Mark Cuban idea

I love Duren but Mark Williams would certainly have a word with you here. (11-09-2023, 02:39 PM)HoosierDaddyKid Wrote: Correct.

He's better than any five man they have on their roster. Mark Williams is really good, too. He was more of a sure thing. Therefore I´d not have traded either pick, I´d just have taken both. Duren was build like a brickhosue despite being the youngest player in that draft. Sure he was raw, but the upside was stupid and Williams was the cover for him. Jordan gonna Jordan. Then Cuban pissed away the 2017 draft in which we should have had the top odds. We take Tatum that year, Luka the next, we probably working on a three-peat by now.
