I can’t say how excited I am right now for us landing Drummond, a historically great rebounder who can also get you buckets on any given night. And not only that, he is also in his prime at age 27. The same age as AD.
Championship teams need rebounders. Remember Dennis Rodman? How he fits into the team’s style of play will be figured out. We landed a good center without having to trade anyone. That, to me, was all I was looking forward to. Great job by Rob Pelinka.
Sorry i couldn’t make it gents, had a long day and didn’t get around to catching the game until after 9. I thought that the young Lakers did well, we played solid defense throughout (at times it looked like an NBA game that mattered) and the kids did well in crunch time. Preseason, nothing will change in terms of role or rotation because of it and my personal best takeaway was how THT has been able to play the game at a pace that is beneficial to him./. Just needs to finish a little better or seek out more contact and get to the line.
Another battle between the GHF (Glass Half Full) and GHE factions of Lakerholics over whether the Lakers extended their lead over the rest of the NBA during the offseason and whether THT is legit. You can guess who was on which side.
