Howard Beck

The guy has has walked the walk.

he has proven everything that he projected about himself.

He can be a number one.

So now it's just a matter of like, can they be co-number ones?

But also like, I don't think we have to worry about that or they don't have to worry about that in the near term because when Tatum comes back, assuming he is coming back in the next days to weeks here,

He's coming back as a guy coming off an Achilles after less than a year, and he's going to need to lean on Jalen Brown.

So for the duration of at least this season and this postseason, I don't think there's any, there's no reason for there to be tension because they need Jalen Brown to be the guy carrying the load.

For next season, maybe Logan's going to have a point.

Who knows?

Jalen Brown to the Wizards.

Done.

Oh, yeah.

One of my favorite topics.

So...

been kind of a jagged ride so far in LA right so this is not necessarily about Luca as a Laker the totality of his career so far with the Mavericks right one finals appearance not so much so not so great of a finals performance and then we're in this really interesting moment here where the Lakers have a lot of major decisions this summer and all of them need to revolve around Luca right

And I keep thinking about what this is going to mean, what this next phase of his career is going to mean.

And I keep coming back to, aside from all the things that the Lakers need to do for him and around him, that the greatest threat to Luka's overall legacy when we start getting to, he's like mid-career now, right?

It's seven, eight years in.

The greatest threat to Luka is Luka.

It's a great take.
