We were all terribly wrong on THT. I thought he would start cracking rotation and eventually carve out a significant role by next year. Guy might be the MVP of this season lol. What a freakin baller that dude is.
I said it when we signed him, and caught a glimpse last night. Marc Gasol's vision and passing from the top of the key to our cutters like KCP and Kuz...what a match made in heaven. Gasol is a major upgrade over McGree and Howard. Our B squad almost ran the Clippers off the court lol. Fully healthy I don't see how we lose more than 10 games I am not kidding.

lool yes. We were wayyy offfff.
Dude is ready to play major minutes right now. Still can't believe Lakers FO got him in the 2nd round. Being a Klutch client didn't hurt either but shouldn't have fallen that far off. I remember when Lakers drafted him - couple draft outlets said he should have gone in late teens to 20s.
Also, Kuz has played well too. This team is so freaking awesome. I think only injuries and COVID can stop this team from winning 60 games out of 72. Rest for AD and Lebron can also play a factor but the way this team has looked without them - they may still be able to win many of those games. We will see. Still way too early but team looks absolutely filthy.
Gasol pickup has been so good. He plays really good defense and his passing is just ridiculous. He may not make flashy plays like McGee or Dwight and Lakers did lose some rim protection but gained so much more.
Lakers will have a lot of FAs next summer again. Kuz, Caruso, THT, Schroder, opt outs for Harell and Morris. Basically, KCP, Bron, AD, and Gasol have guaranteed contracts for 2021 season. Lakers will have everyone's bird rights - so hopefully they keep this team together for a long time. Wouldn't rule out a trade deadline trade for a 3rd star but this team can win titles this season and be major contenders next couple years even if Lebron loses a step.

Good article on THT
Talen Horton-Tucker is showing flashes that he can be the NBA's next great second round steal. Here's my @ringernba article breaking down THT's impressive potential and what the implications are for the Lakers: https://t.co/hxmQVYQMkT

I read somewhere the Gasol brothers are looking to reunite. (I know they never played together, I meant Pau wants to return to the NBA with the Lakers)

How many minutes do you guys think Gasol can give us and do you think he can somewhat neutralize that big dummy jokic?

This is a nice video I found about Gasol guarding Embiid last season.
