**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[mr j 858]

Honestly out of the three 1 year and done Lakers we got (D'Lo, Randle, and Ingram)

I think D'Lo was the most NBA ready.

Byron being his 1st year coach set his game back.

I liked seeing T. Robinson tonight. I know he played against scrubs but 8pts 7reb in 7 minutes, also seemed very active.

19 year old rookies need time to develop? But i thought #2 picks were supposed to be guaranteed superstars as soon as they hit the court!

 

[sohi 23]

Everyone expects rookies to be like Kobe or MJ right away **** is crazy. Not realizing that:

a. Even though Kobe did come into the league a year earlier than Dlo/Ingram, he didn't do **** for his first 2 years.
b. MJ came into the league at 21, 3 years removed from high school.

These dudes bodies aren't anywhere near equipped to bang with grown *** man for 82 games. It's gunna take a while.

Didn't watch the game but heard good things overall.

I'm 20 per, 30 stupid posts per page is OD.

Preseason game 1 and we gotta have folks come in and break down expectations on teenage NBA'ers. That's ******* depressing.

What has happened to this fanbase?

Bless you SoHi for tryin to get in front of it, but this is as bad as when people flipped out over January losses to the Bobcats like we'd never win a game ever again.

Preseason, game 1. Well......maybe that's an improvement, it was summer league last year when some dudes were writing off DLo.

If Ingram doesn't win Finals MVP this year, we should trade him for Chris Bosh and some future draft picks. Let's set our sights high.

Lawn.

When was the last time lakers won a presEason game 2012 or something.

I know it's just highlights but looks like we made a lot of 3s and can play defense.

UNDEFEATED

 

[WAKKO!]

Already excited...going to the game Friday

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

To the guy worried about Ingram after game 1 of the preseason, relax. The kid just turned 19. His game will take time to develop. His still filling out his body, the game will come to him.

We looked GOOD.

ingram needs to put some weight on him. like what i saw from nance and black.

I'm unsure of the Mozgov-Randle-Deng frontcourt, but I don't know what Puke can do without hurting egos.

 

[CP1708]

Cubs-Lakers Friday night
Cubs-Hurricanes Saturday night
Dolphins-Lakers Sunday

I'm exhausted already.

Inevitable that a few players, no matter the age, will be frustrated with their usage.
But thankfully Luke seem's to have the respect of all the youngins so their disdain with minute distribution should be tampered a bit.

They should'nt be as visibly distraught as they were with Byron's rotations :x
