I'm surprised nobody offered him at least the BAE, but on the other hand he's real bad on defense

Maybe he took a discount to play for a team that's gonna get him a lot of open looks so he can have a bounceback season and cash in next year

He's a lot more tolerable at 2.7 than he was at 10 mil. All the same, while lot of his 3s were in garbage time there are moments I think the Lakers could have used him a bit more. Not as big of a fan of him as Popdog.

I guess he just watched Joe Ingles get 2/22 after doing that for 40ish games there.

He's fallen off a bit since he signed his last contract, but that's still a great deal. I figured he'd be a good candidate for taxpayers MLE

all their dorks who can shoot are the Hesitantly, if Im Open kind and to actually punish the incredibly aggressive paint help defense people play vs the lakers you need someone who will just take 3s all loving day on guys closing out on them. i feel like malik was the closest to that kinda guy theyve had a chance at, and breaking open that defense consistently would solve most of their offensive issues. without the 2 plus help defenders standing in the paint lebron and Ad would feast



every lebron team Must have a jr, in my opinion. theoretically dlo can be that guy but i already have playmaking hopes on deangelo and hes very fragile

He definitely wasn't the first 3 and D wing. Bruce Bowen and Shane Battier come to mind, but there were probably guys even earlier than that (adjusting for 3pa by era). Iggy predates him as a "LeBron stopper," and I think Paul Pierce fancies himself as the original. I'm happy the DeMarre has had a nice NBA career, though, being a key piece of a rare good Mizzou basketball team.

As far as nostalgic names go, the Rockets announced that Royal Ivey and Tiago Splitter will be on the coaching staff.

He's looked worse than that stat line. Hitting some 3s in the fourth quarter, at least. Still, he refuses to box out and just plays the most lackadaisical defense.

Only thing with Miller that really worried me were the turnovers. Finished with 18/5/3 and he'll look better when he's next to anyone interested in setting up an offense

Miller fattened up in the 4th on lightly contested threes. That’s probably ok with Melo doing most of the creation but if you went in thinking he had some play making you’re in for a bad time

He was bad defensively and had some no good very bad TOs

To be fair even the rookies who look decent in Summer League usually stink big time in California Classic. That's half of why it exists to get some of those early awful games out of guy's systems.
