Theis? Is he still in the league? He can't possibly be the alley oop merchant Jaxson is.

You'll just have to take my word for it since you haven't watched them, and that's fine, why would you?

After the trade, the CW was that the Lakers had no more big and would use this season to build some chemistry and look toward next year.

Instead...

Since January 15, the Lakers are an NBA best 18-4 and lead the league with a defensive rating of 107.5, better by 1.6 over the next best.​

Postseason success is no guarantee, as Boston is Boston, Cleveland's checked in, and the West is the West. Jimmy Buckets has woken up the Dubs.

But Jaxson Hayes is by far making an impact, playing his best ball ever and I know him all the way back to the Horns.

I’ve loathed that team since I was a small child lol. Hopefully anyone other than the Lakers wins it all.

I agree with you that they’re capable tho for sure.

Let's remember that the Lakers gave the expansion New Orleans Jazz their first GM and minority partner Bill Bertka, and their second coach in Elgin Baylor.
