IT TAKE A GRAM OF KU TO BALL WIT HART - THE OFFICIAL 2018 LAKERS OFFSEASON THREAD

[ALonelyDad]

Lonzo hasn't seriosly been on a court since like March(?). Training camp might be rough for him.

It looks like he's at least working on his body.

Injured all summer and his first matchup will be Rondo going hard..Rondo's been posting workout videos too, I have never seen him this loud during summer .

I don’t know (where I fit in at the Lakers) I went with what they wanted,” Deng explained.

“There has been a lot of talk. Me not playing was not my call. This is an organisational decision. People can say whatever they want to say I respected what they were telling me. Throughout the year I tried to play and every time they said they wanted to play the young guys, so that’s their direction.

“I don’t know what’s going on now, hopefully soon I will know, I would like to know the answers.”

“I know the level I can play at and the decision is something they came up with, whatever the criticism or the plan is, none of it was my decision, people need to understand that.

“They can say whatever they want, I know I can play the game, they see me at practice every day. If it was a game thing then come out and say it, but the honest truth, it’s the decision they made.

“I want to play, I want to be a part of something. But I’m not going to be a part of a place where you don’t believe in me. I’m not trying to knock down anybody, but I play for people who believe in me.

"I’ve taken every opportunity since day one and proven myself, I’m not going to sit here and give you the right answer, I’m going to be honest about it, for me, if the respect and appreciation is not there then I’d rather be elsewhere.”

*Excluding my Wolverines

You gotta have somebody to hate on every season

D’Lo gone, Randle gone, now eyes set on Zo (who you wanted us to draft very badly, if I remember correctly)

 

[THE MACHINE]

Any chance the jerseys get some stitching? I know its showtime tribute, but everything will be completely ironed on? Nike isnt the best with jersey quality, might be some peeling

Playing-wise, it’s over for him... He’s been an embarrassment every time he’s put on a Lakers uniform. If he was smart, he would try to get experience coaching (like Luke did under Phil while he was hurt) or working in the front office while he is still under contract.

I don’t know why he’s trying to play the victim. Dude can’t shoot, can’t defend, can’t dribble, can barely make layups... The Lakers are trying to do him a favor by not embarrassing him. Y’all remember when he played the first game of the season last year and Chris Webber was clowning him off the court on the broadcast?

Lol I was being sarcastic about the BBB part but you were a big Zo supporter tho.

I was and I actually still believe in his game as long as he can't start making shots. The clownish behavior off court is giving me reservations though like Russell.

I feel you. But we might have to accept that this generation does clownish things. If he winning I could care less if he was a joker.
