Ballers Wanna Ball, Rollers Wanna Roll, But We're Taking All--The Official 2017-2018 Lakers Thread
- Thread starter Admiral Ackbar
- Start date
So far we've played other teams' full lineups, while we've played without Lopez (who is a big piece), so it's hard to really evaluate where this team is on offense/defense.
It seems they're kinda 'freestyling' with Ingram, not really running plays for/through him, but it's good to see some of his shots go in and out rather than missing badly, so it could be just rust. They need to slow down on the hype train tho, and let the kid develop naturally.

He's got to be able to hit his uncontested shots more specifically at a higher rate. I think he shot under 30 percent on those last year. He's got to get that up.

Make It Hot-ta
- kuzma been our best player since draft night.
- randle & nance expendable like a mofo. give them a month to see if theyve developed anymore and/or sell.
- ingram jumper flat as a week old grape soda
- lonzo gets the rookie til jan pass. niggs gotta make shots tho to help him out
- never seen anyone not get any better in 3-4 years like clarkston
- i see why bron like kcp. that dude is a swiss army knife. hope they can keep him when he come, next year.
- lordy lord lord, can we find someone to take deng contract?
- how zubac go from game one to not even a shot attempt in game 2?
- luke is cool, but its up to him to develop lonzo & ingram. aint a nigg on this roster or bench untouchable...
- its early tho

Kuzma looks to be the real deal. Long, fluid movements, good form and smooth his his jump shot, and able to hit that three which is crucial in today's NBA. Definite steal of the draft if he pans out like this.

Clarkson, Randle, Deng, Nance, Zubac should all be gone by the deadline
Flex Luger
Job Is Finished
Brehs ready to ship out Randle and Nance because of a rookie? Yes Kuzma has looked good so far am he's the new shiny toy, but there's no need to just up and trade Randle and Nance. Zubac is still a project who could learn some offensive stuff from Lopez and aome defensive stuff from Bogut this year. And dot nobody want Deng's albatross contract unless we add a pick with it which we don't have.

One of my worst fears is that Ingram is basically Wesley Johnson
Between lopez and Kuzma that scoring gap has pretty much been filled
Dwight Howard

Luke is still installing the offensive sets apparently so it may take some time to gel

Yea we're gonna miss his shooting. Seeing KcP come off the screens an missing just poured salt in the would, cause Russ was nice off-ball shooting. If KCP not shooting right this year we gotta find another shooter at SG next year forsure

I was talking to the homie about KCP and he basically was like he's not the answer to help with Ball we should use him as trade bait with Randle. Clarkson should go too i think... Kuzma would be good off the bench... I rather Nance start
no not Nance but we have to get rid of Randle if they want to sign 2 FA's IIRC. So might as well flip him now or at least bench him if he's not apart of the future. Even if Magic/Pelinka decide they aren't confident in getting 2 FA's, do we really want to resign Randle next summer? At the moment it doesn't seem worth it, might as well flip him.
I dont want to get rid of Nance though, fukk that. I think he should be starting right now actually over Randle and Kuzma. Kuz is great but I gotta see him play well for months before he starts. Nance deserves a shot with Lopez imo.
