Okafor doesn't have any defense do we need scorers or defenders?
Also I would like to see Ingram get some burn at point. I think it would help his overall game especially now since he's gaining confidence.

Yes, like the knicks did melo..the Sixers have tanked his value completely. He will be a FA next season, teams are not in hurry to trade for him. A bad team might do it taking a chance but most teams won’t

Luke has pissed off like 3 ppl already, dude is losing the team
Magic/pelinka need to start making moves or tell Luke to start making decisions

Yall ready to admit that we drafted a poor mans Rubio without heart?
I mean, with the way some of yall were talkin bout D'Angelo Russell calling Lonzo that seems more than fair.
And I'm calling him that before he shows something.

Yeah, no reason for Lonzo to be getting this kinda treatment. Kobe had to prove himself and if Lonzo is playing this bad he needs to do the same and hit the bench.
Yeah I’m starting to lose patience quick. These were my worries about Lonzo to begin with but gotta support since he’s on the squad. Honestly though, never liked him. If it wasn’t for LaVar this nikka would’ve never gon top 3.

I mean.... he’s not. That’s his asking price right now and teams are balking at it. Everyone expects them to buy him out.
you know everybody says this but it’s not true. he was top 3 on every board before anyone knew lavar’s name. he was the most exciting player in college basketball last year for good reason
his time will come
not gonna be shyt ass long as Luke the coach. i wouldn't be mad if they fired him and promoted Shaw. nikkas should be several games over .500 at this point.

He was gonna be top 4 either way. Celtics and Suns wanted him if available.

I like Lonzo but I always knew he was going to take another 2-3 years minimum because of his shot form. A point guard can’t shoot like that at the point of attack. A player can be effective with that form if they play mostly off the ball as a spot up shooter but a point guard has to be able to get his shot off off the dribble. They are going to have to break his shot down and start over and that will take YEARS.
I was arguing this all spring and summer as a reason to keep D’Lo at least another year.
Besides that, he has a LOT of work to do as far as fundamentals.
Magic and Pelinka are being awfully quiet...
I disagree with both of you.
There isn't any 2nd round pick the Lakers can get who will be a better player than Jahlil Okafor...yall tripping.
I don't care what other teams are balking it, the Lakers cant afford to balk at anything. Okafor, right now, would at worst be the 3rd best player on our team.
If we can get him, for a lowly 2nd round pick, then we need to do it asap.
