They could bring up guys from Grand Rapids though right? Those that are on some sort of contract....

Full agreement, ..our analysis of players especially on a championship level team with role players has to go beyond three-point shooting percentage. I think Bruce has been great, you can see the defensive differences

I can't believe anybody would say that after the last four games. He brings instant energy and has actually been pretty good going to the basket even though his three ball is not there yet. He's so valuable off the bench.

Cam johnson, who I think could be an improvement?.. will still have to prove that. This isn't a sure thing. It's not like mpj was some sort of liability until that OKC Series either ...since he had one arm.

Even your statement, which I jibe with... I think minimizes mpj's role in 2022-24. Lakers were cooked b/ him, ..the finals may have not been his best moment but we don't win the chip w/out him because Min. wins gm5 in Denver in 2023. Just a crucial piece for many yrs ...everything else is secondary.

Harboring bitterness is like taking poison & expecting the other person to die.Certainly new boundaries should be set/sometimes things will never return to normal.But in many many cases withholding forgiveness actually IS the issue.Other party might not have all the tools to get back on track either

I've never seen a ref count that fast....that was crazy
