Brandon Ingram Discussion: He Is Who We Thought He Could Be

Agreed. If he can't shoot, the fit w/Bron won't be a great one...

 

And I love it! These kids need to earn their keep...no handouts! If BI doesn't step up, move him to the bench and put Kuz/Beas at the 3 next to Bron.

 

But not same approach applied to KCP / Hart competition so Luke doesn't look like he's not a coach of his word?

I feel though he will make the switch not too far into the season if KCP doesn't step his game up which Luke and the staff will support him to do for a reasonable length of time.

 

We've seen that kind of s*** from Puke before.

Randle being micro-"coached", while the likes of KCP and Clarkson run free.

God, I f***ing hate that dude.

 

Still better than his “predecessor“

 

I'm not targeting you bro...I just want to play devil's advocate.

First of all, Jules even stated he needed to be more coachable. I'm not saying you gotta kiss Luke's a** but the dude is the coach and if you're going to fight him or show him disrespect in front of one of the youngest squads in the league, you gotta make an example out of dude, being that you're the youngest coach in the game and can lose that locker room real quick.

There's a reason he's not with us... And I'm shocked more people don't think it's Mintz related. DLo gone...Paula no meeting with us and a shady way to re-up with OKC (heck there was even a Dlo sub shot at Zo with the Nas party).

I'm convinced that if it were up to us, we give Jules a 18m one yr deal (what he got with the Pels over 2 yrs), tell him it's his as long as he ditches Mintz...get Rondo on a 2yr room exception deal (9.5m, player option on 2nd yr), sign McGee and Stephenson to vet exceptions and probably pass on Beas unless he too is willing to accept the vet min. We wanted bullies and dogs on this team and that's clearly Bullyius...so why didn't it happen?

All the signings plus Jules could have been possible with our cap situation, but Mintz clearly had it in for us and we obviously didn't want to deal with his bulls***.

All that being said...if I'm coaching a player that's part of the future core, I'm going to micro-coach his a** and show tough love. He'll understand, cause he'll be part of my tutelage for the years to come.

KCP is likely on his last year with us and sure there's some politics involved, but if AD forces his way here, it's goddamn worth it, no?

 

Who knows. But I don't think Randle got a fair break from us, despite being our best player, arguably. And I thought Puke had a lot to do with it.

Of course Randle would say that. Contract year, basically.

Mintz can go jump of a cliff, for all I care.

 

Would’ve loved Julius on this team. I agree with Vash it certainly seems the agent was the issue.

McGee/Jules at center would’ve been a nice combination.

 

Worth noting: randle is kicking a**...off the bench in 25mpg.

 

Off the bench tho haha.

He's a dumbf***... The Mintz is in the pudding...poopity stoopidy (double scoop of entendres, ey Ye?).



Let's not forget when he's the "best" player on your team, your team ain't doing s***. #facts

Jules, you a real dumb motherf***er, won't you back that a** up (Mintz actually)
....I know, real juvenile of me, butt can Laker fans stop defending his lame a**.

 

It WAS one game.

 

^Not really - he's 1-11 from 3 since the preseason. I think it's becoming a confidence thing...

 

I’ll be upset if he gets the longest suspension. CP3 really started the actual fight by poking Rondo in the face

 

Why are NBA players so bad at fighting?

It looked like both Rondo and Ingram landed a punch on CP3 but CP3 was unfazed lol.

I thought Ingram took up boxing in the summer.

 

harden been getting away with that crap all game, all season, all career long. I'm glad ingram finally did something to harden. and did ya see what harden did after ingram shoved him? dude was seriously asking ingram what was wrong.
