I'm still a massive believer in Ingram. He's a season or 2 off from being that guy.

Ingram should bully his way to the rim every time with that 20 foot wingspan. Every time he does it's either a bucket or 2 shots from the stripe. But he continues to settle for jumpers. Bad ones. I still like his prospects, but he needs to begin shaking bad habits.

I think Ball will thrive in another environment. Far from the best shooter, but he really does have a skillset to make himself a nightly triple double threat.

Anyone got any guesses to when LeBron will return?

I understand we’d be guessing at this point but I’m curious.
I’m flying to LA for my first Laker game next week and I’m freaking out that LeBron got injured 😕

Team looks so bad right now. Lonzo is awful.

So bad. Missing free throws, turnovers, defensive miscues. Just ugly basketball

pgisback · 12-30-2018, 11:36 PM

Lonzo 1-6 from 3, 0-4 from the line, 2 turnovers, and a -20 +\-. He’s just awful out there. Why he’s trying step back 3s I have no clue. Air balled one, got the other easily blocked. Brutal

pgisback · 12-30-2018, 11:44 PM

They sat Lonzo to end the game. Ingram coming up huge!!! This would be a nice but ugly win

pgisback · 01-03-2019, 01:36 AM

Ugly basketball. They look exactly like they did last year. A 35 win team.

Lucky for you they have Lebron, plus Kuzma played hardly any, that hurt quite a bit, might of won the game with him playing

pingbling23 · 01-03-2019, 01:54 AM

Lose on a night where RW shoots 3-20 and Kcp has an 18 point first half.... 3 for freaking 20. The lakers need their full squad back.

pgisback · 01-05-2019, 12:03 AM

Lonzo, 0 assists, 5 turnovers in 21 min running point. He really needs to step up with Lebron and Rondo out. It's just brutal at points.

Ps. If Kawhi, KD or AD come to LA, Lebron has to be Robin, I just don't see him being ok with that.

Best post of the thread thus far.

Lakers better off just trading Lebron and getting whatever they can for him at this point. Maybe Dion Waiters is still available.

Mcgee and KCP leading the squad tonight.

This is why Lonzo and Ingram can't have nice things.

I didn’t really follow Lonzo prices but have they come down quite a bit since his hyped up, next Magic, beginning?

Didn't follow myself. Never looked at him as an investment. Even at the super ultra best case scenario of a Jason Kidd, he'd never hold value long term.

pgisback · 01-05-2019, 12:57 AM

What an ugly ugly loss

pingbling23 · 01-05-2019, 01:02 AM

So many awful mistakes at the end. A freaking 5 second inbounding call. No kuzma, rondo, or Lebron. What happened to beasley, hasn’t been with the team in a month. He’s lousy but can score and is shooting over 50% in limited minutes this season. Just seems like they could use salvageable bodies while being hammered with injuries.

regularp · 01-05-2019, 02:24 AM

Kuzma's clearly the best young player on the squad. Ingram is a jack of all trades, master at none and needs to be traded.

pgisback · 01-06-2019, 04:40 PM

Lonzo is so bad. Lonzo, ingram, and Hart should be able to make the Lakers competitive but they aren’t. Just terrible.

Hell, do the lakers even make the playoff now? If they keep losing before Lebron returns and how tight the west is, it may be harder then we thought. It’s fun watching the process but I’m ready for next year. The lakers will look different but will be a true contender.

pgisback · 01-06-2019, 05:55 PM

Rock bottom. Lifeless without Lebron

They'll be fine as long as LeBron and Kuzma aren't out too long. Kuzma's the only young guy worth a damn.

Exactly.

Take the 2 best players off any team and shock! They lose.

The loss on the buzzer to SAC really hurt them though and you should never lose to the Knicks.

LeBron is probably making calls as we speak to get rid of Ingram. His ceiling is still a few seasons away.

It'll be pretty funny if the Lakers miss the Playoffs or have to face GS round 1.

They have a brutal schedule next month.

tolrobb · 01-06-2019, 07:04 PM

the bright side is that when they have a complete healthy lineup, they can play with anyone in the league.
