OFFICIAL 2016-2017 LOS ANGELES LAKERS THREAD

[Jonah 2.0]

Biggest waste of money ever. Moz and deng shutdown

The money had to be spent and the Lakers are on pace for a top 3 pick. I don't see what the problem is unless the Lakers lose the lottery. Then it's all a huge waste.

How not? They are above the floor and right up against the cap. You can question the length of the contracts that were given and who they were given to but you can't argue that the money had to spent.

This season has been hard to watch but at least they're trying to go into the right direction

 

[DaBull]

I'd still rather keep the youngins and let em cook but if we can wind up with PG I have no complaints

I don't get the sense that Jimmy would even want to play for us

I think a good amount of fans feel that way but we all know it's not going to happen. Hopefully Pelinka is the right man for the job and is able to work some magic while trading some of the youngters.

Good to see Old Man Earvin interacting with the players and giving them game. It's really going to suck to see some of these cats go.

Hope the NBA punishes y'all for blatantly tanking. Btw still a 44 percent chance y'all lose the pick

The NBA still owes the Lakers. Punish? They better gon head and gift wrap this number one pick to make up for past transgressions.

What a fucking ugly half of basketball.... SMH... Signing a Defensive specialist as an assistant coach next season is a must.

 

[toheeb27]

Sometimes Luke Walton does some of the most stupid shit to be cute. WTF is this lineup to start the 2nd half???? I understand making a point, but dont send out a Lineup without a single offensive weapon....

Yeah that shit is annoying. Two starters were playing terrible on both ends JC and Randle and he took it out on the entire unit.

We could've possibly made a run if he just sat those two to start the half for Robinson and Brewer. Instead of trying to prove a point.

Big difference I peeped recently from Ingram is he's going into contact when attacking the rim instead of double and triple clutching shots shying from contact.

I remember before the last Thunder game in OKC Magic was the working with him on it pregame. Paying big dividends. Has a shot to take home West rookie of the month.

And 10000% agree with you on a defensive specialist assistant for next season. As well as an actual shooting coach. I hate seeing Chip Engelland( best in the biz imo) Elevate the efficiency of shooters in San Antonio while our guys show zero progress and in some cases get worse.
