I would say there are many 1 great skill guys. Kelly doesn't really do anything at an elite level. But I do like his all around game, he has a chance to be decent off the bench but I'm not counting him as one of the main pieces going forward.

These other "white shooter" guys y'all are bringing up have game guys.... like serious game.... no BS....even Bonner.
RK's skill set is serious below NBA standard and he's shooting 35% 3P at his 1 SKILL.
I'm done guys.
Ya'll crazy.

It's hard to judge RK when he's been out of position all year. He looked solid when he played in position last year.

I'll give you that.
IMO, It won't help in the long run.
We'll see.

He's a solid passer, sees the court well.
Spreading the floor is important especially for benches and he does that.
He also makes it difficult for opposing 4s on defense because while very un-athletic, he can take bigs who like to stay near the hoop off the dribble a couple of times a game.
He's looked bad, sans a handful of games because playing SF takes away every single part of his game. 3s are fast enough to prevent him from driving, comfortable at the perimeter and can close the gap so he'll never see open shots. Not to mention he stands no chance against good offensive players at the 3. Literally nothing he can do to stop them.

Since Nash said he's probably gonna stay in LA, would be open to free agent recruitments. What do you guys think of Coach Nash?
Gawddamn I'd take him over Byron any day

They should penalize teams for tanking and fix the draft baloney.
Nash will.need the disabled from work money. Think he can insure himself too, which led to bigger payout.

Tanking is a disgrace. Talking about trying to lose all 82 games? SMH. That‘s pathetic as heck and a mental strain on players, coaches and fans. Well, just some twisted peeps. No one plays sports for fun, or to lose, certainly not at this level. Easy for peeps to encourage tanking and losing games from a perceived strategical standpoint, but it does more harm then good.
That‘s like saying there‘s no talent after the top 5. LOL. Silly thinking.

Everyday I grow more convinced you don't even watch basketball.
Tanking isn't a disgrace, it's a necessary evil.

I personally don't like tanking either...
But we aren't tanking. We just suck.
So this is ok with me.
If we come out of these 2 years with Towns, Randle and Clarkson, and they all grow to be what we hope for and expect?
These 2 years won't mean **** anymore. Same as the Smush years. Once Pau joined, all was forgotten.
This too, shall pass.
No doubt, but that's kind of why I have been so hard on Mitch. Once you hit November, and you suck, and you hit December, and you suck, pull the damn chute. End it. Trade/cut/buy anyone out that isn't bolted to the floor. Bottom the hell out.
And he simply refuses to do that.
Luckily for us, we have a couple injuries, and that's helped, but we could EASILY be the #1 spot right now. EASILY. So easy. And that's clear because here they are, trying to win games, and still only 3-4 games away. Winning at the Spurs, at the Hawks, at the Rockets, against the Raptors, against the Bulls, against the Warriors. I mean......
Those should be AUTOMATIC losses. Hell, if we were good we could lose those games. Philly gets that. They shut it ALL down, until they feel they have enough young talent all over the court, and healthy, to make a go of it. If/when they have an injury or two that jeopardizes their season, they pull the chute, quick, and try to land yet another cheap young asset.

I think that's kinda the point. I think they're trying to sell to casual fans that they aren't tanking the way Philly is. Trying to play it both ways.
And it still might net them a top pick and a 25ish pick.
They could've made it easier on themselves but you have to factor in public perception. Most people are dumb and don't understand that tanking is good.

Tanking aint good for anyone period. The notion that LA just suck makes sense. This is just a cycle in sports, they had it coming.
