Optimism Discussion: The Laker's Sky Is Not Falling

Man. Sounds like yall making a case if George and Lebron come then Ingram needs to be traded for a PF/C lol. Or you keep Ingram as hopefully an elite 6th man and you trade Kuz for a PF/C?

JUST HYPOTHETICALLY JOINING THE FUN. NOT SAYING I LEGIT WANNA TRADE INGRAM/KUZ lolz.

(LTLaker thats pretty much for you )

 

I’m making the case that there’s no room for both, and given the choice to take only one, I pick PG over LLLLL.

It’s the wisest choice for our future IMHO. Brolo needs to show more if he’s going to be part of the future.

Unless LLLLL wants to play center. I would actually chew on that.

 

Also just saw Slippers lost 8 in a row!

 

Isnt it kinda funny that after just thinking about it, that Randle is a good match up against Draymond? But i guess Lebron could guard Draymond as well?...

 

Sign PG and LLLLL, and keep JR in the same role.

Ditch Brolo, and develop our cheap young backups when we need some size.

Might be fun to watch, but you need legit bigs for 20+ minutes a game on D. I’m just not sold they need to be 20 mil+ a year players

 

Still just one game out of the 8th seed

 

We're one of the league leaders in PACE, yet it was just a few garbage time points that led to the Nugs breaking the 100 point seal. I know Milsap and Jokic were out, but pushing PACE and still holding an opponent to under/around 100 is impressive AF.

 

LOL you should get some help if you're having those kinds of thoughts in seeking humor. Metta's got a good shrink maybe you can check him / her out.

 

Terrific game on both ends ... Our record is frustrating and doesn't reflect our improvements but we are finally heading in the right direction

 

I remember the discussions about minimum # of wins we need to have in order to attract big names given PG is right on his way home.

We're right on target. 35 games.

No not Boogie. I don't want any ball hog coming over.

We played a damn near perfect game against a playoff bound team. Yeah yeah Milsap was out quickly and Jokic only played a third of the game but screw that, we were up 20 when Malone and Jokic got tossed.

 

Clippers lost 9 in a row.

 

Doc’s last year.

 

yeah, they got tossed because they lost by 20; they didn't lose by 20 because they got tossed.

frankly, i think both were supremely frustrated (and rightfully so) that the lakers were getting away with switching smalls onto jokic. i can pretty much guarantee that won't work in the next matchup, but it was entertaining for one game, on several levels.

 

All eyes on us tonight being the only game played. Fortunately we are playing Chicago. Can we sneak Deng onto their team bus?
If we win, we'll be the 8th seed.

 

Here's a 20+ minute inside look at pregame practice today with Zo, Kuz, BI, Jules, Hart and Luke via NBATV's Players Only access.

With Milsap gone till Feb for Denver, Conley out indefinitely for the Grizz, Gobert still out in Utah, OKC not being so okay, Clips being the Clips, Queens being the Queens, Suns being done and Cuban focused more on a 2020 presidential run than a Mavs run, we need to try and gain some ground out West. Unfortunately, December is a buzzsaw, but we gotta keep grindin. And it starts with games like tonight, where we need to win the games we're expected to win.
