STRAWMAN, This is just anti Laker bullshit. Give me examples of Media gassing him up.

Kuzma will run to anywhere there is a mic (he likes attention), but the narrative is pretty much set on him. Good offensive skills, bad defender. Who is this “media” that is telling u otherwise?

a lot of times Kyle Kuzma gets discussed like he's going to be an integral/crucial part to the Lakers success or like he's a legit 3rd guy to Lebron and AD

If you take him for what he is which is a nice scorer off the bench thats cool but anything other than that is reaching until proven other wise(i.e. shooting over 30% from 3....idc about the off the court stuff)

The bold is because he's projected to be the first man off the bench for the front court. Whether that's playing the 3, 4 or small ball 5. So he is integral to the Lakers success this coming season. Kuz is the only person I've seen that has said he can be #3 of a Lakers big 3.

He addressed that dip in 3 pt% so hopefully he's back to his rookie numbers or better this season.
 
mister, after seeing how serious you were about this, my only reply is that I think the Pelicans in an attempt to "fleece" the Lakers put out reports that made it seem like they highly coveted Kuz when in reality, he was merely a means to an end to get the players they really wanted

seeing how the Lakers essentially said he was untradeable gave the Pelicans all the leverage they needed

with them doing so, it then created or rather magnified the narrative that he's overrated

now if you trust the Lakers to use him in the way you described then he is properly rated but I think most people outside of the Lakers fully expect them to not stick to that which will end up magnifying his shortcomings over what he actually excels at

that's all I got
 
The Kevin Garnett Area 21 segments on TNT’s Inside the NBA and digital platforms will not return for the 2019-20 NBA season, The Big Lead has learned from multiple people with knowledge of the news.

From what we’ve heard, this was not an acrimonious exit, and there could be ways that Garnett and TNT could collaborate on content down the line. Whether or not that winds up happening is to be determined at this point. Garnett had been contributing to TNT since 2016, and he has a number of other business interests.
Turner Sports is in a state of transition after their parent company Time Warner was acquired by AT&T. CNN boss Jeff Zucker replaced David Levy as head of the department, and there have been a number of other changes with talents and behind the scenes.

In the NBA, Mike Fratello and Ros Gold-Onwude will not return next season and The Starters are out at NBATV; Andrew Marchand has reported that Steve Nash, who has been in their Champions League studio, will do some features coverage and that they are close to snaring Stan Van Gundy from ESPN as a color commentator.

How else would he be used? You have Lebron starting at the 3, AD at the 4 and McGee at 5. McGee and Cousins were signed to avoid playing AD at the 5 much. AD has made it clear he doesn't like playing the 5 and the team doesn't want him playing extended minutes there.
 
It's also time to put Marv Albert out to pasture

On God he be fucking up like once every 5 minutes. It's bad.

Hubie be fucking up too but he'll forward back with some bars. Just gotta give him a minute from time to time.
