Mark Jones reminds me of that lawyer guy from Fresh Prince of Bel Air (Played by... phil lammar I think?) for one episode that tries to kiss Uncle Phil's ass and then switches when he doesn't get what he wants.

Every time he reminds me of him.

Doesn't Philly own the pick?

 

[BonesJones]

Doesn't Philly own the pick?

PHI if it's 1st or 6th or lower.
BOS if it's 2nd-5th.

How did they lose that pick ?

If memory serves correct...

Traded to suns for nash, suns traded it to philly in the brandon knight /MCW swap with the bucks, philly traded it to celtics with protections in the deal for last years number 1.

Lakers have had top 3 protection on it last two years and have ended up with the lotto luck and the #2 pick each year.

Lakers have sucked for awhile! The #2 pick 3 drafts in a row. And still suck!

Random NBA fact: Tim Duncan had a regular season winning percentage of 72%. To put that into perspective, Tim Duncan was more likely to win an NBA game than the 2017-2018 Los Angeles Lakers are to make a free throw (69%)

Gerald Henderson just turned 30. Why is he out of the league? He's at least as good as Connaughton.

Same hip he had surgery on when he came here?

People need to stop hatin' Pat. Give him his love for playing well, because he is. Just give credit where it's due.

The one trick pony is not doing well at his only trick.

His efficiency is down with increased volume. You don't say....

I expected him to drop at least 15 ppg on decent percentages. Color me surprised.

I'm not surprised at all. I called it. He has little game outside of moving off of screens to shoot jumpers. When the scouting report on you is:

"go over the screen every time to force him out of his shot"

And when you don't play with shooters like Dame and CJ....

Gerald green is averaging 18ppg with houston but yeah luxury taaaax.

Define "playing well".
