All he could do is give good advise to the new players and might be the leader of the 2nd team.
The fact that the Lakers already have a great roster is there.

Iggy is a great defender too, If you guys remember how he shut down Lebron is some point in the NBA finals.

He's a good defender alright and he also did a great job containing KD some years back. We can complement on what he has done before but we also have to face the fact that his body isn't as quick as before even if he's healthy.

Next season could also be his last.

Well thats the hard part when youre an injury prone player while youre aging. I really want Iggy to prove himself again in another team. I want him to get back in shape. Too bad, he got badly injured and teams in the NBA easily forgot he was the Finals MVP in 2014-2015 NBA finals.

As Ive remember there are only 2 players in the NBA who could totally contain Lebron defensively. That's Leonard and Iggy.

I do remember that and also how he did it with Lillard. But we also have to consider his agility by now and as I said the injuries. What will be his use if he gets injured mostly and cannot play? How could he defend?
But his voice is still working, so that could also provide a lot of help for the Lakers team.

Let it be a lesson already that it basketball aint about offense only. Look at Houston.

Thats a perfect example of a pure offensive team. Still, it depends on the coaching staff. Remember what Steve Ker told his team? He said " Our offense is our defense." That means offensive consistency could be a great defense too, by keeping the score close without giving much effort on the defensive end.

Yes, but then again they lack something.
Mike D'Antoni also did this with the Phoenix Suns team giving Steve Nash a two time NBA Season MVP but at the end they still fell short.
Same thing is happening with the Houston team.
They added another offensive player which is Westbrook. Why not a good defender to help Capela and Tucker on defending superstars whenever they are against those powerful teams.

I agree with you that he is a good fit to the Lakers but is the Laker's salary cap would still allow him to the team?

From what I've read, the Lakers roster is already full so an addition for him is not going to happen unless the management will trade someone for him.

Another reason is the injury factor of Iggy. Recently he always acquire injury every now and then. So the chances of him being picked by the Lakers is low because of injury factor and the salary cap.

He's not getting any younger, Lakers have a long term plans for both davis and Lebron if they will going to build a team which still competitive after some years they need new talents to help them. Right now the team showing good blends and from both ends (offense and defense), even without Iggy the team is already composed of players who can cover his possible spot. No need to adjust to bring him up.

But look at it in a different way.
It was filled with offensive player.
I see Avery Bradley as their only chance in defending a great player but how about the other positions?
Bradley is a short guy and might have a hard time defending the duo of the Clippers.

I would agree that Iggy is really getting old, although he still contributes as lot specially during his GSW stint. I really thought that Lakers are going to get him, as a second stringers and to play defense against the opponent's best player.

But Lakers don't have a choice because of salary cap and as much as Lebron wanted Iggy beside him, it won't materialised. But who knows maybe we can see a trade down the line and see Iggy on the Lakers mid-season.

S. Curry did it again scoring 40 points on Timberwolves in a pre-season game.

They still need to be aware that Stephen Curry would put them in danger. If you watched this game tf that everyone now in warriors throws 3. Imagine if they have K. Thompson healthy and KD as well ROFL.

Can't expect less from the 2 time MVP and 3 time NBA champ. Remember that's only 25 mins. What more if he could play like playoff time of 30-40 mins? That could be nasty. Stephen Curry showing his perfection from deep.

Anyway, the Clippers game, damn they look scary. And I barely recognized Ivica Zubac, he became thicker than last season.

Yes it was in 25 minutes but fellas its preseason. In the regular season teams will be double teaming curry. He will still get his points but it's not gonna be as easy as it is in preseason. Without klay and durant their is much less to worry about and can hone in on defending steph.

.. but they still have Shaun Livingston

In case you missed, Shaun Livingston went unsigned during free agency after being waived by the Warriors during the off-season.

And just last month, he announced his retirement.

Maybe it didn't create a buzz on the news that's why others are unaware as every basketball fans are busy watching the FIBA World Cup during that time.

I still think if warriors got Seth curry they could really use him, like as a backup PG and also maybe a combo guard at SG when either Curry or Klay is gone, right now they have D'lo instead of Klay so it still works and when Klay gets back Seths minutes would be cut down a bit. Think about it, Seth Curry has super similar talents to Steph Curry and even tho he is known to be worse of the brothers if you give Seth the chance to play in the system Steph shined, I am sure Seth would be awesome too.

They have a similar talent in shooting threes but the difference in skills in general is too far. There's no doubt that Steph is the better player than him. Although yes, he could be a substitute for Curry but they still have Shaun Livingston and also there is a rookie I think that's Poole, he could be the substitute for the guards of GS and at first look, I thought he was DLO, but he was some other player that pose a good slashing skill inside the paint.

Curry performed extremely well but remember this is just a pre-season game. Defense is not that tight in comparison to regular season or playoffs. Do not expect the same output since he will be the focus of the defenders when regular-season starts.

Stephen Curry showing his young team how it's done - 40 points in 25 minutes against the T-wolves.

Borrowing a line from another team, it's just preseason but consider this a warning Grin

He is just so good that when he scores 40 it looks like effortless but we all know he actually puts all the effort into his game.
In order to look like 40 points in 25 minutes isn't a difficult thing to do for you, you need to practice basically ALL your life, plus you need to be given a great opportunity by your coaches to highlight your talent as well.

Lakers already formed a competitive team for this season adding Iggy is no longer necessary as the rotation per what we've seen from the preseason games is already enough, not sure if the management will go and offer for another trade to free up some space to cover Iggy's salary. Maybe he can get the offer in another team who are interested for his service.

Those 3 point shots of Stephen Curry (nothing bout net).

I’m done watching the highlights and I stood at the start the understopable demonstrated Kawhi Leonard. Everytime they’re trying to double team Kawhi it ends up giving one of his teammates opening because they can’t stop him. It feels horrible when you’re the one guarding Kawhi.

How come if that’s Giannis Antetokounmpo who needs 3 big guys to stop him last season.

That's his usual.

And now that the Warriors is playing without Durant and Klay is currently on rehab, expect more of Curry's big production as he is now the center of the Warriors offense.

Andre had said before that he will play on a championship contender team, that maybe the reason he did not report to Memphis.

I agree with you that he is a good fit to the Lakers but is the Laker's salary cap would still allow him to the team?

He aint that expensive anymore considering his age and all the injuries he went through.

He may be given just a 1 year contract but in exchange for a great roster in front of him that could really make it to the championship.

Clippers is filled with defensive players now. Maybe he will be more helpful in the Lakers because they lack a good view to do defense.
Yes, he could give some good insights to them.

Lakers 111-114 Nets ! what do you think about the games guys? LeBron and Spencer scored the highest point among the other players with 20 points in this match. This is the highlights of the Lakers vs Nets match for those of you who missed and can't watch the game live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNiQtUVjn0c

I can't believe that Brooklyn could actually beat this powerhouse. Lakers with AD and LeBron is something that you could see powering on other teams yet they were beaten by a team without their real power(kyrie and durant). Damn, yet this is still preseason most teams are more likely to let other players play out the game rather than using their star or risking them on an injury. Even if it's just a preseason game, players could get injured.

I would be more amazed if they beat the Lakers in a regular season. With the limited minutes of LeBron and AD, it would not he the Lakers team that we want to see. Yes they can't risk their star players for just a pre-season game that's why we can only see much action from their bench players.

We are overreacting, this is just a preseason which weak teams gets better and good teams getting weaker.
This isn't a regular season where the real business starts for them, so just enjoy the game and never too confident with your bet as its hard to cap in this kind of season in the NBA, don't worry this will end soon and we shall witness the real action.

I know it's only still a preseason match but the match was very exciting. both teams played well and could entertain the audience who came to Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena. I understand that the regular season will be much more exciting than this, but at least this is a good warm-up for both teams

Im not also sure, but I think they can send someone from their roster to the D-League.

Its up to the management now, but if they really want Andre, they would stop signing players that is not expected to give good contribution to the team.
The latest player they sign is David Stockton if I am not mistaken, this is a young player that will not earn big minutes for sure.
