    It seems like Luke's vision for how we play plus Ball here, starting to slowly take form. Add Magic and Rob in to replace Jim and Mitch and the culture change is beginning. We've got a ways to go for sure, but you can see the seeds starting to sprout, the B0ron culture is being washed away.

    At least we can savor every moment of this Lonzo SL saga for 3 months unlike the other fanbase, Philly or C Bags who are mired in doubt whether they made a mistake in the draft lol

    These pics are awesome ha ha. These guys get to go home feeling like winners instead of hanging their heads and feeling like they can't figure it out and live up to hype and such. Ball, Kuzma, and the guys that will be in trainning camp get to come in feeling good, they get to spend summer working on their games with a little pride and a tiny bit of positive momentum on their side. Summer league title doesn't count for anything, but it certainly isn't meaningless for kids coming in as Lakers with tons of pressure on them, and with the media talking about us every day right now. Only for now it's in a positive way.

    Actually they moved the start of the season to October 17th this year. Preseason is September 30 - October 13th, only 4 games now I think. I think this was done to cut down on back to backs and stop teams resting stars.

    When does the Las Vegas Summer League DVD package come out? Do I have to sign up for a Sports Illustrated subscription? #Kidding

    But I am gonna miss it. The hype and excitement around Lonzo is awesome. Papa Ball is turning out to be right on a lot of things.

    Great news. I heard an interview with Tyronne Lue and he said he wants to follow the rules, but he's also trying to win a title, so he'd have to consider resting players more. This is a good move by the league. I hadn't heard anything about it. Thanks for sharing.

    About 10 weeks.

    In other news, I saw Bam Davis at Summer League and got a photo with him.

    yeah it's SL and no one will remember who won in a matter of months but it just feels good to win something after the way the past few years have gone

    for the first time in so long, things are finally starting to look up and trend in the right direction for this franchise

    Get that weak DVD ish outta here. Bluray or UHD Bluray or go home. What a classic experience. Especially after losing the first 2 games. Feel good vibes for weeks. This may kill the Wine Moan & Complain thread until next season. Who among us has had the better idea vs what is unfolding in front of our very eyes. Well done Jeanie, Magic, Rob, Luke, the Scouting Dept and Jud Buechler. Well done Lakers 2017 SL Team.
