Alex will get to the game in a second,
but just want to get your reaction from the Lakers announcement today.
Going to be a two way player and then how that how you felt was a phone call and then just take me through the day.
Yeah, so they kind of talked
to talked about, lean in summer league and then obviously just my play.
Kind of. Expedited the process of that got a call from agent a couple days after that that big game I had.
They wanted to do it this week and I was like awesome and let's get it done.
So we we met up in the hotel lobby this morning and then got it signed by the feel for you.
Feels good. Feels good. I liked organization prestigious organization said great history,
cultural winning and I think they're moving in that direction again and I'm excited to be apart of
it. Moving over to tonight's game.
What's what's the? Progress been like for you guys?
How do you think things have gotten better?
We're just really clicking you know,
the
more we play together, the more we're getting more sound.
We know where guys are going to be Lonzo's really starting his stride,
which I think is kind of carrying everybody else.
So it's it's an energy booster.
Whenever he plays well. And then defensively I think we're going to little more sound.
I think we only give up like 80 something points tonight.
I don't remember what the first couple of games were under the last game.
We gave up almost 100,
so we're making progress in that area.
The two way contract is a new thing.
Did you like go to your agents?
Say? What exactly is it?
I mean I knew I knew coming after
the daily coming into this offseason I was going to be.
I was probably going to chance at one of those so I did my research and my homework and kind of figure out what it was like in my agent.
Did a good job of relaying the message to me about what they're going to set up and stuff like that so I feel comfortable with it.
I'm excited. It's an opportunity.
It's progression for me, so I'm ready for
it down
the back days and then some.
Hopefully hopefully yeah, in the back of your mind
at all during summer leagues and she said you kind of knew about it going into it,
yeah? I mean that's always on
my mind anytime I'm playing in front of this kind of an atmosphere in this kind of setting,
I'm always. Knowledgeable and aware of the situation that I'm in and what could come of it.
And but I mean once I get on the court,
I mean by the way I play.
Hopefully you can tell that I'm out there just trying to win.
You know, I'm not. I'm not there thinking about.
Hopefully this shot goes in and I make so so money or I get some contract.
I'm just trying to help my team win.
Kyle Kuczma, that's just how is he able to produce so much in so many categories.
He's he's so versatile,
you know, I've really fell in love with his game.
He does a lot of different stuff and his ability to stretch the floor really helps us.
But I mean, if you look at it,
he's getting one or two kick aheads for layups,
he said in a couple of
threes. He's getting a couple of blocks,
steals and then rebounding. So I mean he's he's filling up the stat sheet in
a bunch of different ways that are really
