Guy has played two games in the month of April and on the year is averaging 3 points on 44% TS. Rockets fan have also given him the nickname name Dorian Finney-Smith.

Turns out Pelinka was right about his foot and he was not worth the moneys. This has to be one of the craziest legalized robbery in recent years even if the last two years of his contract isn’t guaranteed

Lakers overall had a good offseason, and the media using the Lakers losing DFS to rile up the Laker haters was something to see. Like dude is not a bad player but he isn’t anything to write home about.

That’s a bit unfair to him. You can’t expect the same offensive production from DFS if he doesn’t have a proper PG. I mean the guy is the definition of 3&D and got paid because of Luka basically.

Everybody is hopping on the Fuck Udoka bandwagon, but Stone might have had one of the worst years of any GM in recent memory. KD is a franchise killer, DFS and Capela were complete whiffs, and he didn’t go after a PG at the trade deadline. Send him packing along with Udoka

It was so mind boggling that they didnt even try to trade for a PG, they really invested in amen being their floor general. I didnt watch much rockets games during the season, but so far with these 2 games he hasnt showned he can be a PG.

Ayo, coby, McCain, Harden all moved and could’ve been various levels of useful, Russ could’ve been had as well as probably 3-5 other PGs with some use to them.

Andy_Wiggins | Timberwolves

I didn’t understand at all why the hell he kept signing forwards and centers once they traded for KD.

Like, they needed GUARDS. The fact that they didn’t get ANY of them despite spending pretty heavily in FA was crazy to me.

KCP played for four seasons with the Lakers. DFS was with the Lakers for half a season. I wondered why their fans had that reaction.

They probably just gave him that type of contract so it can be moved in the future once expiring or in salary match.

Plenty of bad contracts from orgs. PWill on Bulls and Zeke on Nuggets instantly in my mind.

And people were giving the Lakers shit for not resigning him over Jake.

Granted, Jake has been crap on offense lately, but he clearly has better years ahead of him while DFS is now cashing in his last paychecks.
