Not to mention, Kuzma is 2 years older.
Do we keep MeNoRebound Lopez?
Esp if PG13 doesn't come?
With Ingram and Kuz, do we even "need" him?
By the time we ready to compete for a title, he'll be 30
We're ready to compete now.
They were tied in the last 3 minutes against the blazers and pelicans, and within 4 with less than 5 minutes left, against the raptors. We win 2 of those games we'd being in a 3 way tie with the warriors and wolves for 2 in the west and if we beat the celtics tomorrow. 2nd in the league.
I'd like to see the lakers win atleast 2 of their next 3, with Kuzma and Ingram as our primary scoring punch, while using Brook to draw opposing centers out to the perimeter. That will also give lonzo more space to drive and kick until his shot gets way better. Randle and Clarkson need to cut their turnovers in half but other than that their production has been remarkable (21/11/3/2 and 27/4/6 per 36 respectively).
Right now Kuzma and Ingram are averaging 15, but if they can get up to 20 we will start beating good teams consistently. If lonzo's shot starts falling, we'll start looking like the 04-05 Suns.
Kuzma's better at everything offensively besides passing, though he's streaky from three, but yeah, Ingram's a jack of all trades. I was worried about him through preseason and the first few games, but Ingram looks like he's turned the corner in a big way. Starting to become the player I hoped for what they drafted him.
Ingram is learning to use his length to his advantage for everything. He's got one of those lengthy and long bodies like Giannis/Porzingis/Durant/etc so he better live up to his potential because he can become an absolute stud.

I have a good feeling about the direction of this team, but

Luke is misusing Randle something serious. dude is averaging 11/5 in 17mpg. Even if you dont like dude you gotta play him more than that with that level of production. playing him 17 minutes accomplishes nothing....

Lonzo floor game great
Kuzma a all around great player
Ingram developing as a scorer.

This has been the best Randle has ever looked on both sides of the ball. Keep him playing those minutes because it's working. The more he plays, the more reckless he becomes and his defense gets worse because he's tired.

We need Kuzma to take a stronghold of the starting 4 spot. Our future is at stake here. Here's his chance to show that he needs to start with Ingram & Zo.

deng getting bought out or traded
More then likely a buyout is coming. No team is trading for that contract unless they get a pick/prospect in return.

I never wanted them. I wouldn't mind PG coming. Just wanted Boogie and then call it a day, but that was before the Russell trade. With Lonzo in the starting lineup, we definitely need another star player, but not LBJ.Serious question: do we still want Paul George AND Lebron??
Because that would likely mean either Ingram or Kuz are coming off the bench. This could also be balance problems and would mean turning Ingram and Kuz to more supporting roles which could harm their development.
I know I’m getting ahead of myself here
