Non Lakers Discussion Thread: Week of November 18th-24th
More NBA Cup games this week with teams standing taking shape.
Welcome to Week 5 of the NBA season. De’Aaron Fox and Franz Wagner were named NBA Players of the Week. The Lakers record is 9-4 and, at time of publish, they are the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
Rui Hachimura is out for the Jazz game but his return is close while Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood, Jaxson Hayes and Jalen Hood Schifino are out

Conversation Rules
Please remember our Game Day thread guidelines.
Don’t troll in your comments; create a conversation rather than destroy it.
Out of respect to broadcast partners who have paid to carry the game, no mentions of “alternative” (read: illegal) viewing methods are allowed in our threads.
Anything else goes.
Have at it in the comments for this week’s slate of games!
When I am not posting ridiculous trades on here you can find me talking about Nintendo, LGBT content, music, and the Lakers on my Twitter. You can follow Alexis on Twitter at @BeautifulShy_RS.
