    Don't know anything about this guy but we are in need of a cheap 3rd string guard and I think it's interesting that the first guy we brought in was a guard given the trade market rumors...would hint we're trading a guard for a big..

    so let me get this post straight.

    You thought the team needed a cheap third string guard. They brought one in (technically haven’t even signed him to a contract) and your conclusion is they’re setting up a trade?

    In the same way Ant is a backup PG.

    Where did I say I had a conclusion? I said it hints that something might be behind it.....but yes...I think we need a third string pt guard as practice fodder and insurance for injury

    Career assist percentage
    Smith: 28.2
    Simons: 10.3

    That’s quite a difference.

    Smith was damn good college player but still haven't found a team that he actually fit. Training camp invite they do this every year but I believe there hasn't ever made the roster that I know of.

    He's a training camp invite - I wouldn't read too much into it.

    I guess Dante Exum wasn't interested...

    you really should start a Ben Simmons thread...but any LAKERS themed content doesn't deserve a thread and any purple and piss fan doesn't have a vote...my 2 cents bro!
