OFFICIAL 2016-2017 LOS ANGELES LAKERS THREAD

[playmaker88]

It's not a battle to me anymore, Randle is the lead at the 4, Nance to me, is like our Swiss Army knife Robert Horry with less range... he has to embrace that role, Horry was a do it all for the team type of guy which I see a lot in Nance

Well said.. i dont think it ever was a battle but ive always like what lance had in the bag... it think Horryesque is absolutely apropos

how has Dlo looked? havent watched any preseason

1st game real meh on offense. Defensively played solid especially considering how terrible he was on that end last year.

2nd game looked like he did in summer league scoring with ease, feeding guys easy looks. Been the best player on the team all offseason.

DFish was gushing over him in the postgame show saying he can just look and see DLo has that Lakers Alpha star in him.

I think we could be a 35 win team next year and hopefully show free agents we are moving in the right direction.

Nick Young looking like he wants to hoop this year... Was looking good in camp, we need his shooting ability I'm happy Mitch didn't dump him

I want him gone. This team has no need for 31 year old knuckle heads. He doesn't shoot it well enough or consistently enough to justify the headache...

Let Swaggy work.... he's motivated and he has a role he can fill being our shooter, he's still our best shooter and Lukes system will be perfect for him and he will at least up his trade value

Dude, this might sound crazy, but imo Swaggy is playing the best/most consistent defense on the team this preseason (maybe slightly behind Nance). His on ball defense has been solid and dude is crashing the offensive glass.

He still does some "Swaggy" things once in awhile, but u can clearly see him trying to play within Walton's system. I have honestly been impressed.

Shoutout to Calderon too. On offense, the dude is solid. Dont think i have seen that dude make the wrong decision on the Pick and Roll this preseason. His defense is Suey though.

Spacing is a problem for the Deng-Randle-Mozgov trio. Really affecting our offense, not giving our guards enough space to the rim, leading to tougher shots.

Based on how fast he improves and gets stronger, the ideal starting lineup for this offense will have Ingram at SF, Deng at PF and Mozgov at C.

 

[Jonah 2.0]

These youngsters got me real optimistic for the future. BI is going to be special. Russell is looking like a totally different player under Luke. Randle is still all gas, no brakes. He's got to learn to slow down some of the time.

This is going to be a fun, frustrating year.
