I don't think it matters who LeBron's guy is. Hopefully all our young guys mesh with him. |

Just stating so. Didn’t say it mattered lol.
But yes I agree I hope they all mesh.
I think Hart and Kuz mesh the best |

Problem is Butler hasn't done all that much winning to warrant such an attitude. |
I mean, from the rumors, it sounds like he slept with KAT and also maybe Wiggin's GFs |

| Yeah Hart seems adaptable to whatever is thrown at him.. With that being said I believe all our youngins can make the necessary adjustments to accommodate Bron's style of play. I think he'll love playing with Ball.. |

Why does every time teammates don't get along there are stories of sleeping with wives/girlfriends?
I mean, would Butler really do that and would the girl do that? Seems far fetched as always. |

Magic said Kuzma has been terrific, and was dominating certain 5-on-5’s runs, feeling like he was LeBron … at least up until LeBron got back. Then, you know, LeBron was LeBron |

I think so too. I think Ball is gonna have a really good year. Only guy I really worry about is BI who is my favorite player on the team. He could either be the number 2 that Lebron needs or have a hard time playing off the ball alonfside Lebron. Also seems like Kuz has the love of the FO. And the swagger and game to be a star as well. |

Man it’s gonna be so fun seeing Kuz go off in the playoffs.
His post game pressers should be pretty entertaining as well |

I'm expecting him to prove he's just as good as Tatum.. I stay away from making proclamations.. but I see this becoming a reality. |

Yup!
Interesting to see if he starts or is a 6 MOTY candidate.
I think it’s gonna be between he or BI to start.
Good problem to have but with BI’s extension coming in 2020 we might end up having to choose between the two.
But finishing games with BI lebron and Kuz this year is gonna be so fun to watch |

| 6 MOTY is likely if he's not starting.. I'm hoping you're wrong about 2020. I don't want us losing anymore of our young guys. |

I hope I’m wrong too. If they’re as good as we believe them to be then one other max guy should be good enough |

It's interesting how many times, when I see a picture of Lebron scrimmaging, Kuz happens to be right there in the background. Kuzma is throwing himself full throttle into this preseason, and I can see why he's won LeBron's confidence. The scrimmages, interviews, the way he attacked the workout room, apparently with noticeable results, and making his way into the film room with Rondo, hats off to Kuz, man. This is gonna be fun. |

I agree Kuzma practically lives in the gym The dedication to improving his game has been extaordinary We will see soon how all this hard work will translate into live games pretty soon. |

 The suspense is killing me. I so hope that the young core--including Zubac--make gigantic steps forward.

When is the last time one of our players were "dominating" in practice? I expect LeBron to do it. I never heard that Dwight, Pau, Nash,, or others did it.
From his workouts and released info, I'm picturing a (he appears to be) 6' 10" guy,, with a James Harden type handle, more quickness, increased leaping ability, stronger and more sturdy, with far more confidence in what he's doing. I expect LeBron has his star right now, and Ingram hasn't even got to camp yet, apparently.
Imo, he will prove to be every bit as good as, but probably better Tatum, and a lot of people's Lakers' GPS are going to be forced to begin "Recalculating." |

He's even got some work to do to get up to Blake's level, imo. What Kuz has going for him is that quick release and footwork - that jab step, pump fake, drive is what gets him into the lane.
But his handle has looked tighter in workout vids this summer, and Kuz has the time and work ethic to improve.

I don't think he plays anything like Griffin. Kuzma is also more of a scorer than a shooter. He kind of reminds me of a mix of young Carmelo Anthony and Rashard Lewis.
Anyway, this offseason has got me so hype for Kuzma that I'm literally thinking star or bust for him this season. He's already 23 so I'm expecting more from him than the younger guys. |

You should expect more from him than the younger guys, he has more experience.

I'm not basing it on what he did last year. I'm talking about what I saw him doing in the summertime. Everyone is acknowledging that he improved, so we can't say what he can't do....yet.
The shake and bake moves he was working on were like what Harden does, not backing down from outside to protect the ball like Blake does. |

I hope you are right. This would be quite a jump in one summer.
