Not a Lakers fan- but adding this to the wall collection

if swider stayed the team is 20-5 right now at the worst, imo...and probably better than that

oh well

all JB wanted this year to be about was experience for the freshman, apparently

And it sounded like he could have been convinced to stay….

This team imo is a tournament team. They are lacking one more shooter.

If we’d settled on Swider and Brown as the starting forwards in November, it’s probably a tournament team.

If we’d wasted two and half months with Benny starting, maybe not.

Say what you want about JB but I fully believe that he is one of the rare high level college coaches who genuinely cares about his guys and has honest, not self-serving, conversations about this stuff with his players.

I can’t imagine that there is many coaches who wouldn’t have asked Cole to come back when he said that he was willing to. It is a cool thing about our program and it makes me happy when I see Cole being pro-orange on Twitter.

Haha Saturday night I was telling my friends about that and showed them the “Not 10 games” presser because I was trying to explain to them that for most of my life I would have taken a bullet for the man.

Think my exact words at 3am were “the guy is a ***** G.” Lmao

Yup, he’s been consistent in saying that for 20 years now so I believe him.
