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

I like Hart... First game back and he seems more polished/smart than most of the guards as well as showed good defense

Blue is instant offense.

Hope we can keep both. I like Caruso too but not over them

yeah man these guys who play 4 years of college really come into the league ready to contribute

Not just that

Kuz didn't play 4

Neither did Dlo... I'm sure others

He's just solid. Seems like he has a great IQ as well. If his shot starts falling consistently then KCP should watch out for his spot as well.

I'm gonna be really disappointed in Luke if he doesn't start Kuzma and have Randle come off the bench before the season starts.

In what way?

MAgic johnson destroyed the lakers

I wouldn't say destroyed but I feel like he's trying to recreate Showtime especially with all his talk about Lonzo reminding him of himself and wanting the team to run run and run.

I am glad most of the Lakers fanbase is finally waking up to Randle being trash. It felt lonely being on that bandwagon for years

In what way?

not destroyed but putting too much into big names who have no reason to leave their teams or join Lakers. Lakers are a young, rebuilding team..location alone won't get these guys here. And now Paul George is most likely not leaving. We could have kept D'lo and the 2 bad contracts and maybe got a better deal if we hanged on to them for a year or two.


This FO let go of all the shooters we had. Our best shooter..no doubt is going to be Brook Lopez

If we don't get the big name free agents, I'm sure the contingency plan is to keep developing the younger players and adding complementary pieces around them. Keep developing Ingram and Lonzo and Kuzma. Maybe adding PG could stunt Ingram's growth or whatever, but going after him certainly won't. I don't see how this could possibly destroy the team in any way. And I'm not so sure about PG is suddenly not leaving OKC now because they added Melo or something.

Magic didn't destroy the Lakers but he should have traded Randle when he had value. Clarkson should have been gone as soon as Magic got the job. Like I'm convinced Clarkson is Rudy Gay status. He hurts the team with his presence.

Hard Body Randle still playing prison ball 3 years later

Poor man's Gay

Lopez is supposed to play on Sunday. I would think he'll make a huge difference in how the team looks.

Stfu clown


Like these nikkas haven't sucked as soon as Kobe's achilles went out.

nikka been on the job for 6 months.

Interesting switch. Nance hasn't looked good in preseason but compared to Randle he has a better track record defensively.
