OFFICIAL 2016-2017 LOS ANGELES LAKERS THREAD

[joeyfkncrakk]

Zubac & Ingram need the 3&5 spots now! Deng & MoZ can be high paid reserves... so what if we lose out best way to getting them developed & a top 3 so we get our future 2 guard

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

They are saying if Melo waived his no trade it would be for the Cavs or LAC/LAL.... pretty much LA is the only city he'd rather play in outside of NY I'd trade for Melo bro... Tarik & Lou Williams with future considerations we got cap space so we can fit his salary Im doing that deal if I'm Mitch and idgaf who hates

 

[Inglewood_B]

This is a pointless side note and means nothing, but I found it hilarious: I'm on my 2nd season NBA2k17 MyCareer and I signed with the Lakers and...

Brandon Ingram is a fucking chucker. I swear to god that nigga don't pass shit. Every call for pass to him is ignored and if you pass it to him he gon pull up. 100% guaranteed

I hate that nigga, man. Even Justice Young give up the rock occasionally. Ingram will have 11 attempts before the end of the 1st quarter. All 3s

 

[Jonah 2.0]

I can't wait for Jr to get back. This squad has missed him A LOT. I knew they would but not that much. But Luke has been speaking on how big he is for what they do since the start of the season. I want to see the young core players get as much run together as possible this season.

Holy Shit, this game is cursed for us. Players dropping like flies, smh.

Glad Nick Young is ok. Hopefully D Russell's injury is not that bad. Dude needs as much playing time as possible.

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

Ingram took the 3 spot last nite from Deng... we go as far as Brandon takes us going forward his upside is dumb high... he has the IT factor.. he can get on some lightweight Antetokounmpo shyt by year 5

 

[killap]

Wow we are look like trash right now

 

[toheeb27]

Wow we are look like trash right now

Dude, that 2nd qtr was one of the worst i have ever seen the Lakers have.

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

I told u guys we suck...

 

[toheeb27]

I told u guys we suck...

Last in the west now, looks like Tank Season has officially begun.

 

[Inglewood_B]

Trust the process lol

We're supposed to suck right now. Young team + Assortment of injuries. And we're still better than we were last year

 

[Jonah 2.0]

I think I can finally let go of "basketball reasons" if the league lets the Lakers win the lottery this year.

 

[DaBull]

We are on pace to double last seasons win total, with a first year head coach. That is real progress

lol at double the win total!! this team ain't sniffing 34 wins

we are still better than last year. That's said... it's probably best to go for the tank

 

[DR. JEK]

This team sucks I love the kids idea but Mitch should make moves unless he thinks we can properly tank for a top 3 one more time

Don't be one of them microwave fans

Average age of our core is like 22. You gotta let these youngins cook for like 2-3 years. Your expectations are unrealistic

We are on pace to double last seasons win total, with a first year head coach. That is real progress

I know you mean well when you say this but I disagree with your premise here. I think other teams that are young and up and coming such as the jazz, the Bucks, the Celtics who also have nucleuses that are similar ages to ours are doing much better than us. The whole "they are too young let them get some more years under their belt" stuff seems like a built in excuse for us to not hold these young guys accountable for not being as hungry as they need to be at times. It dangerous because it makes losing something easier to accept instead of adopting a "this is not gonna be tolerated" mentality.

Like In recent years past when we was getting beat in transition every game like 45 points to idk, let's say 17, people would blame it on oldie goldie Kobe and vets that were more conducive to playing half court ball. Well they got a bunch of young guys now...what's their excuse now for getting beat in transition by teams 45 to 17? We got younger guys with younger legs that not only shouldn't be allowing that much on defense but the should be doing transition baskets on their own more on offense. No way we should have the youngest team we've had in a minute but get out husled by teams we should be hungrier than more these days than the years past teams.

 

[DR. JEK]

Wow we are look like trash right now

Dude, that 2nd qtr was one of the worst i have ever seen the Lakers have.

Looked just like the third quarter of the last time we played the mavs at staples when we got destroyed 34-11 and Deron Williams was talking disrespectful shit about us in his post game interview.

This time it was the second quarter 33-11

Dallas, the Spurs, and the Trail Blazers just own us bruh...they in competition with each other over who can maintain the longest winning streak against the Lakers.

 

[DR. JEK]

Maybe it will be easier to try to beat Portland our next game since Dlo won't be there to shoulder bump a guy who has a history of getting in his ass no homo

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

I'd trade Brandon Ingram and Nance for Jimmy Butler... I think that's fair if Bulls want to deal him... it's time to get some real players in here

 

[northside7]

Another frustrating game.
