Ballers Wanna Ball, Rollers Wanna Roll, But We're Taking All--The Official 2017-2018 Lakers Thread

[Flex Luger]

I think only 5 teams are projected to have a lot of cap space this summer. Lakers, Hawks, Mavs, Pacers, and the Bulls.

So who besides the Mavs will offer him big money?

we need this as a GIF

and finally LUKE REALIZES YOU DONT NEED TO PLAY ENNIS

 

[Dwight Howard]

He's not getting less than four years on the open market. You guys need to be realistic about what's going to happen with Randle in the summer. Someone is going to give him a big deal.

Now, if you guys want Randle taking up 20-25% of the cap, more power to you. This team isn't going anywhere long-term with Randle taking up cap space like that.

I mean it sounds bad in theory but he's 23 and has showed visible improvement each year...he keeps developing a jumper and he could be a legit all star...

Hawks are talent starved in the front court.

True. But I they end up drafting a guy like Bagley would they still throw money at Randle?

We'll find out.

All that matters is we land PG-13. After that, either take a chance on Cousins or sign some other decent players.

We hate on Lopez a lot and he do be on some dumb shyt at times (Just like Randle) but that nikka 3 money and he's a good defender. I wouldn't mind him back on a reasonable deal
Add George and a back up PG and we good.

It's time to give Luke some props. We all have some nit picks with him, but this team has no business being 21-31 with some of their numbers. Worst three point shooting team, worst free throw shooting team, second worst turnover team and they're still somehow getting Ws.

Their pace was the difference today. They knew OKC was tired from all the games they've been playing and they pushed the ball after every made basket.

I dunno, I find Luke more reactionary than proactive or ahead of the curve. He's finally giving Lopez more minutes because of the hissy fit rather than recognizing his talent and usefulness. He is not complete trash as a coach but not that good either....just somewhere in the middle.

 

[Guile]

I think Cousins probably helps the Lakers more than PG13. It's too bad he got a serious injury.

In the last 6 games Randle has played 30 or more minutes (33 average in those 6 games): 23.2PPG/12.3RPG/4.2APG/ on 57 for 95 FG's about 60%.

He was suppose to come back during the road trip

He’s still a fairly new coach so he’s still learning

Guess they're being cautious with the MCL sprain. Thinking they hold him out until after the all star break.
