    We need to hope someone will take Ball's contract off our hands. We might have to package Ingram with him just to unload it.

    Liked Ingram, Kuzma, and Bryant.

    That’s about it.

    It wasn't meant to deter you, just that you probably didn't know where everyone went and why you were the only one posting lol

    Really liked the effort from Bryant out there. Kid was fired up, even for summer league. He's clumsy and I don't see him contributing right away, but he can shoot, he makes his fts, and he hustles his backside off. Like Doc said in gametime, you can see in him why we were able to let Tarik Black go. He can be better than that, he's already a better shooter, taller and longer.

    This coach in SL made me pissed most the time. Start your best chance at winning in Ball, Hart, Ingram, kuzma and zuu

    These are the guys we are planning on developing along with Bryant and nwaba not wear, Steve Blake and smush Parker in Vander blues clues....

    This was on the coach, in the first half we played better because Ball movement with Ball, ingram and kuz.

    ...Lonzos first game, a lot of his shots were either last minute heaves, or right on the money just rimmed out. He'll be alright, remember when Ingram played and in summer league he struggled a lot. You have to remember a lot of these guys are not in bball shape yet and haven't played in a while. Zo needs to obviously continue to get stronger and continue to be aggressive.

    As for Ingram the guy looked unstoppable, had so many different plays, defensively and offensively he was on another level too bad he got a Charlie horse at the end, he would have won us the game if he didn't.

    Zuuu struggled and seemed gassed, he'll be ready next game, I'm sure he mad at himself.

    Oh and Bryant is my new favorite, the guy plays with a passion that only few show, guy will be a rotational stretch big. He has all the tools just needs to continue to work.

    The good thing is tomorrow our young pups play again tomorrow, Ball and Zu will play better, it's just about getting up to speed

    Watching the Phoenix/Sacto game. Man Justin Jackson can score, wish there was a way we could have traded for the pick to get him.

    Yeah, it's not as easy to notice on your phone, but there's a little icon on the computer letting you know there were around 25-30 of us in there chatting during the game.

    I'd like to offer a few thoughts, based off of highlights and 1 quarter of game.

    1. Ingram plays post A LOT and he seems fine with footwork. As he gets stronger (and you can see the difference already from last season) he's gonna be impossible to guard.

    2. Lonzo sees the game. That putback he had after Blue drive (or was it Hart/Nwaba?) was delicious. You could see how he made the calculation to go for it. Very savvy and opportunistic. Those quick passes ahead -- awesome.

    3. Bryant -- aggressive. Jumped of either leg, both legs, quick double jumps -- very athletic and has touch.

    I think we are going to be FINE.
