IDK if this is a great idea or not.

i suggested vando and wood in another thread. yeah, robinson's a huge injury risk, but i think all three players we're talking about moving are also in that category. we've had interest in robinson forever, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

Ultimately, I'd pull the trigger on Robinson but definitely understand hesitation about it.

 

Outside of Lebron and AD, I'd prefer to keep Vanderbilt and Reaves, and everyone else can be had for the right deal.

 

Well, they do have the “best toilets in town,” so I guess he figures he will cater to those who have lost the desire to say “when.”

 

I like Robinson(when healthy), but NY is getting rid of him because he rarely is.
No thanks.

 

Yeah. There are legit concerns about his health. No way around that.

 

Him and Robert Williams are great fits for what we need but we can't afford the risk. Even if we get them for scrubs (like JHS and stuff), we saw the impact on this team of having backup guys like Gabe and Vando missing time, we just don't have depth.
Hard pass as appealing as it may appear

 

Insider shared his impressions of the first day of the training camp Lakers
. This is my fifth reporting season for Lakers and the fifth training camp, and I don’t remember that Lakers had such positive, joyful and optimistic energy in training. This is not an exaggeration — this is my honest opinion and assessment of what I see.

Before, going to the gym, you usually saw someone doing exercises at a slow pace, someone makes throws after training. However, today it was very intense. This is the first day of the camp, so let's see if this continues.

The music played at full volume, and DJ M.I.L. played in the corner, mixing old rap with modern tracks. In training NBA music usually plays, but having a live DJ during and after training was a pleasant touch.

Obviously, they are trying to create an optimistic, highly intensive environment. Players practiced throws and threw at playing speed, and the intensity of throws was noticeable, especially when Lebron, Bronny and Max Christie worked out together ," – said Insider jovan Buha

 

Definitely nice to hear.

The players had definitely had enough of Ham. That is clear.

 

Mavericks say Luka Doncic suffered a left calf contusion and will be re-evaluated in one week.
Jr Jackson from Memphis is injured too.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. exited the first practice of training camp early after feeling tightness in his hamstring on a drive to the basket.

"We're anticipating that it might be a strain," coach Taylor Jenkins said.

Jackson, the 2022-23 Defensive Player of the Year, will undergo imaging on the hamstring to determine the severity.

Maybe it's not only Lakers..but whole league because they don't practice anymore

 

a contusion usually means you got hit on it and thus has little to do with conditioning.

strained groins and hamstrings, though...

 

lol, i truly was not sure.

 

Well..loophole discovered indeed.

 

my opinion (will be unpopular): the commissioner should veto. this is clearly violating the spirit, and this isn't a game. i mean, the product is a game, but the rules surrounding it aren't. we got burned for FAR LESS.

if i were silver, i'd make them find another way.

 

Positive Vibes, so we’re making the play in game for sure
