    Then I wait for PG to come here, even if it's not a guarantee.

    Ingram and Russell, and the Laker's window of success is not for another few more years. Especially of because of the teams I mentioned above, they aren't going away any time soon.

    Until then, we develop our young talent, we build chemistry and get more competitive and build a team worth PG's time and/or other potential max salary player's time. Now is not the time to gut the team for some 2nd-tier superstars, however much we may think we need them right now.

    Russell's flashy talent and Ingram's two way star power are excellent cornerstones to build around. In the meantime, we have to keep finding complimentary players that makes this roster run.

    each all star requires at least one big piece (top pick, russell, ingram).

    if you're unloading deng in the process, get ready to add nance or zubac along with the big piece.

    "According to report"

    Oh yeah, this is the report, and I took a few words from a radio interview to help come up with a splashy headline for clicks.

    ***Garbage***

    and I generally like the guy, but that is literally nothing.

    F*** all these types of bandwagoning "any of the young guys can be traded" articles. For Paul George or Jimmy Butler. Who else is even practical or possible? Maybe a number of them could go but should be 2 or 3 untouchables for that level of star.

    We need a groundswell movement of backlash against willy nilly trade any of them for a "star" thinking. Some of them will be stars. Homegrown. :Tabarnak:

    Love the kid. Hate the dad baggage. Someone in the Lakers organization prior to drafting him (assuming we beat the odds again) ..... has to sit his a** down and tell him to STFU and set up whatever it takes to enforce him not embarrassing the organization weekly with his crap or they're not taking him. Especially when he goes with his race card. No clue how they do that. It has to be done though right? Lakerfan already hates him. Well I hate him anyway.

    .....errrr No. It was the excruciatingly painful "Fall for Ball"

    That's why the old man needs to be neutralized to shut him the f*** up. I like the way the FX series, "The Americans" works. Distasteful to them as is some of the stuff our popular KGB spies (the family you root for :) ) ..... have to do, they take care of business and get it DONE.

    Maybe Lonzo's dad is doing his own tanking for his son... being as loud and obnoxious as he can be to turn teams away. :D

    LaVar Ball on the Donald Trump strategy,

    Just run your mouth about nonsense repeatedly - at least half the audience will take it at face value.

    He does look old. We need to see a birth certificate. No more "Deng" mistakes.
