I was disappointed he was included in the failed trade. The need for a center was obvious (as duly pointed out by “The Glass Man” aka Anthony Davis). As Dalton is likely more mature because of his age, and four years of college, I don’t believe he will be affected on his return. I think he will continue to be a very productive player off the bench…and I would love for him to up his shooting rate…he has less to lose…in trying to impress the Lakers…he has his rookie contract…I hope he becomes a career Laker player.

I had already turned my attention away but was still listening, I’m gonna have to go back and see if it’s on the replays or if I can rewatch on FABULOUS SPECTRUM SPORTSNET!!!! Sounds like Ham is losing it….As I strongly feel, the problem is not LBJ passing to the corner for a 3 at the end of the game, the problem is obviously not being in control of the game for about the entirety of the game. I believe this entire season has been like that, and injuries are acknowledged but for the 5 players they have out on the court at any given time, there just has not been consistent play or signs of improvement in team play.

I think we naturally over-inflate the talent on our roster. We had no business laying that stinker in ORL but we aren’t demonstrably better than MIA to the point where we’re gonna be controlling a whole lot. Then you throw in AD walking around like Festus from Gunsmoke and counting on Max Christie to play significant minutes and then D.Russell getting ejected….it’s a tough row to hoe. Gotta get some bodies back in uniform…
