    Make sense except:

    1. They will eventually fire you if you keep on getting sick.

    2. Unlike brain surgeons, they can't fire NBA players until his contract is up. And they won't give him another contract until he can prove himself on the court. Hiding behind injury after four years of your rookie contract won't convince anybody you still can play.

    I know I am repeating myself. But you don't seem to get the point. You are right, if you want to be paid as a brain surgeon, you will have to prove yourself on the surgery table eventually. Same with NBA players. Getting sick or injured won't cut it.

    Is it too late to rework his shot? The ball doesn't even rotate on the correct axis for gods sake.

    For this season, they need to just focus on fixing his footwork and balance. Start rebuilding from the ground up.

    His actual shooting motion is so unorthodox that you might not be able to totally correct it the way San Antonio did with Kawhi.

    Some of the problem is energy and effort, which is very troubling for the Lakers.

    It's entirely possible that he cannot shoot and had a hot year in college. It's happened before...

    He reminds me of another tall, long, light-skinned point guard who couldn't shoot but got them triple doubles and endless hype, Michael Carter Williams.

    The Lakers look like a team that was successful for a while and then the owner died and left the team to his bratty kids to run.

    Looking like the Lakers will be the new Knicks.

    MCW can't dribble and run an offence. At least Lonzo can do that.
    MCW will be out of the league in a year while I can easily see Lonzo becoming a good backup pg.

    The Lakers have been drafting in the top 10 for 4 years now and they don't have almost anything to show for it.

    Umm thats the point! He's NOT proving himself.

    His only hope is a injury and milk this charade for as long as possible. Hiding out is his only answer. He sucks

    Brewer and Ball, the killer B's of the Lakers, who will stay in the gym all night just to hit a 100 threes.
