When the opportunity presented itself to add another young , up and coming, versatile guard we jumped on it. We felt like even though we may be overpaying for him, the time is right. He is still a very solid player especially for what we gave up for him. This opens up a lot of opportunities for different lineups and we feel like we can sustain a high level of play even through injuries. Though our franchise has struggled through the early years of the NBA, our GM has stuck to his plan of adding young talent and letting them grow. He has built this team by sticking to his vision all along and making smart moves for the future. We are excited about adding yet another young stud in the upcoming draft that will start for us this year, but we have not decided on who that player will be just yet. One thing is for sure tho, you will be seeing a lot more Red & Blue around L.A. !!!
