    Nice effective start for the Lakers.

    This guy plays HARD. I still believe in him.

    Big TROB fan.

    Jayhawks nation!!!!!

    I really hope he succeeds because he and his kid sister have really been through a lot, they deserve the NBA money more than most pro athletes.

    Never forgot he was #5 pick overall. Another wasted pick from the Kings. Unbelieveable how badly the Kings have messed up in the draft

    I'm surprised you like Thomas Robinson, @Carl Herrera , considering it cost you Patrick Patterson to get him.

    Playing hard and with intensity was never Robinson's issue. It's the other things that kept him from succeeding.

    This guy sucks. He's a poor man's Chuck Wagon without the defensive specialties. Glad he isn't playing here

    Thomas Robinson is horrible. The only thing he has is athleticism and ability to hustle. As far as true basketball skill minimal

    I wonder if he could play football. Better to be a marginal NBA player than a fringe NFL player though.

    Yeah this was a bad day of trades for us. We got rid of PPat and Marcus Morris and got TRob; but I think we also got Francisco Garcia who gave us more street cred than anyone else.
    I think we were also clearing space for the upcoming summer of Dwight but that could have been done in various ways.

    I used him the last 2 weeks in my fantasy league last year, and won the title. He was phenomenal in that last few averaging in the 50-60 point fantasy range. It was crazy.

    Yeap. Complaining about trading Robinson to get Howard is just as great as the time you were hoping we would trade Harden for KLove. Great times. Thanks for bringing it up!

    Does he really need to succeed?

    The guy has already become a multi-millionaire just because of where he got drafted.

    He's already got the NBA money.

    He's made more than 99% of people on the planet will make in their entire lives!
