:lol at Laker fans complaining about a "biased media." The Lakers are the only team in sports that has the media playing GM for them and outright begging stars to sign with them. Every young player on the Lakers gets overrated to the extreme. The media will have you believe that Kobe is a GOAT candidate when he's not even top 1000.

There's no objectivity when it comes to the Lakers, but not in the way you'd like to think.

First I don’t speak much Mandarin. Maybe a little more than you but then you seems to be proud to be a redneck.

Second, why should the spurs have tanked. Was there generational talent in the draft?

You playing checkers again. Look how close all those games were. Youngest roster in the league was standing toe to toe with the Champs.

No we got LeThanos and upgraded our bench with vets that ain't scared of the Dubs and will fill specific roles. I'll be interested to see how we match up with them.

So now, I'm not "proud" of 0-4, but I am happy about 3-0. ;)

Two things I have been disappointed in with Lakers (besides no playoffs) that should easily be fixed.

1. Lakers should have the best staff in all sports bar none. No cap on assistant coach salaries. I doubt we could lure Chip from San antonio but if he is the best we should have teh 2nd best shooting coach, the best trainer, the best anyltics director. etc.

2. Our announcers should be best in the biz. I know replacing Chick is near impossible. And are guys right now are adequate. But Stu's best days have passed and the other guys is just solid. But for a city with Chick, Vin Scully, Jon Miller even Lawler for the Lakers to have weakest lead play-by-play guy of our major teams plus the Clippers is just sad.

One thing Lebron has over Jordan/Kobe is off the court. Kobe/Jordan give money to charities etc. Kobe speaks on social issues jordan wont touch but as political/social activist. But, As a true mover and shaker in black excellence James is the role model for modern NBA and all sports.

Was also great to hear Lebron's excitement for his school, but also for our team and young supporting cast. As you said, if Kang didn't want us to give up the farm, why should we because Rachel Nichols, DPG on Twitter etc. feel we are wasting a year of Lebron's prime?

The blueprint is working well. IF Lebron trusts his last chapter to Maginka, that is more than enough for me.
I would have taken Tatum over Lonzo/Mitchell/Fultz (said it BEFORE draft well not mitchell because i had no clue he would matter) and I wouldn't have let Randle walk for nada But ...
Team Maginka has been nothing but aces I am willing to give them BOD for now.

The issue the last few years is that the siblings were fighting and no one wants to be caught in that cross fire so staff generally stay away when they had the choice.

Bingo. I agree. These farmers be clowning, but Kuz, BI, Lonzo, and Hart are good young pieces that will grow up fast next to LeBron. He could have easily traded them and didn't. That's huge for their confidence.

And for LeBron, not only is he trusting his last chapter to Maginka, he sending a clear signal to free agents to come join him in 2019. I'd love Kiwi to come for infinite jokes, but I'd settle Klay tbh :D

Some great points but letting the scouts and some assitants walk during the lockout was pre-sibling turmoil. Lessor teams with far less profits, ad money etc. Kept their support personell on staff during the duration. Buss was still alive and well, even if Jimbo was running operations with Mitch and buss was mostly playing celebrity poker THAT Still happened on Dr. Buss's watch.
One of the best owners in pro sports but he fell asleep at the wheel and his succession planning as poor. He let his heart and love for his children cloud his judgment.

Can’t say for sure but that is evidence that the infighting started before the death of the doctor. The kids wanted the keys on the kingdom and were positioning themselves before th day came.

The pressure is on. LA didn’t trade for a star when they had the chance because they believe their core is ready now. Lebron is saying there are championship habits and expectations here. This is not a rebuilding year. They can’t just sneak into the playoffs, they have to make noise with Lebron and these young stars.

not stars but poential for a couple is high the other will be solid core pieces ...
My guess is Kuzma will do his best to be that piece over Ingram ...
Hart will also push Lonzo

:lol - please. Pressure ain't nothing new in LA. I'll tell you who has pressure: the Silver and Black team in the 210.

For 2 decades the Spurs mystique was the envy of the NBA. 20 straight years of 50+ wins. Then Pop got arrogant with the wrong Niglet.

Your franchise player sat out 89% of the Spurs games. Didn't even sit on the bench in the playoffs. Kyrie did in Beantown. Why not Kiwi? :lol

Checkers: y'all made the playoffs without him. Chess: y'all alienated the 3rd best player in your franchise's history. What does that do for future free agent stars? Will they want to play for Plantation Pop? Will they forget how Pop dissed Kiwi publicly time and time again?

Your Spurs average age is 28.6 years (aka tired old shitland :lol). There is no way you beat the Rockets, Golden State or eve my Lakers in a playoff series. Pop is 67 and widowed - how much longer does he want to coach? If you guys are a 1st round exit (again :lol) will Pop even want to come back? I doubt it and wouldn't blame him for pulling s Roberto Duran. :lol

This is a pressure packed year for your Spurs. If y'all don't make the 2nd round, Pop is gone. Then it is welcome to Lottery Land, for the foreseeable future for the Spurs. Spurs Mystique: gone like Kiwi. :lol

One of the dumbest arguments I have heard by Laker fans and other NBA fans. Spurs have never been a team that has historically relied on free agency to get superstars or even all-stars. Outside of LMA the Spurs have always targeted role players and young unproven players. I don't see how that will change since both groups of players tend to be desperate for an opportunity at playing time and money.

I'm not just talking about top tier free agents - I'm talking about them all. MLE types, vet ring chasers, etc. They all saw how Plantation Pop arrogantly bungled the Kiwi situation. Who wants to play for a coach who didn't believe his player when he said he wasn't right? Grant Hill comes to mind. Tracy McRady comes to mind. Isiah Thomas comes to mind. I don't blame Kiwi 0.000001% for putting his health first.

Pop should have let him sit the season out if that was how long it took to get back healthy. He also should have publicly supported him even if he was lying thru his yellow ass teeth. :lol

Y'all wasn't winning jackshit with a gimpy Kiwi anyway and you damn sho wasn't gone win without him. Then the prick sends Porker and Beak to call him out publicly? What an amazingly stupid dumbass Pop is. :lol

If Maginka gets him to sign in LA next summer - without trading for him - this forum = f:lolcked. I'll make sure of it. :lmao

He actually has a little bit of Cedric to his game ...with better range sorta of a Cedric/Horry hybrid without Horry's defense.
None of us know what Kuz will or won't be.
Kyle has shown a strong work ethic and a nice skillset.

This is what you said originally "What does that do for future free agent stars?" Obviously you changed the subject once I called you on your bs. Like I said before you can't be that retarded to believe role players, unproven talent, or even vets who are desperate to get paid will pass up playing with the Spurs. :lol I know you hate the Spurs but at least be realistic with your hatred. This is like me saying Lebron will be trash next year and no longer a great player because he's wearing a Laker jersey. That would be an asinine statement to make.

Spurs would have won if Kawhi played last year. It's obvious the Warriors did not match up well with the combo of Kawhi-LMA. Spurs knew how to force them to play a half court post up game which is the Warriors weakness. The '18 incarnation of the Warriors were weaker than the '17 incarnation. No doubt the Spurs would have beaten them if Kawhi decided to play last year. You also believed the Spurs could beat the Warriors hence why you reacted like a kid on Christmas morning when Zaza took out Kawhi. I know you are a troll but damn if you want to troll you should be trolling about how Kawhi cost the Spurs chance at a championship this year.

Kawhi may sign with the Lakers next summer but I will enjoy this year's clown show that is also known as the Lakers. It should be fun to see how Lebron reacts when the Lakers experience a 7 game losing streak. :lol I have to say what a retarded idea the Lakers have of playing Lebron at PF full time. I'm surprised you guys can be that stupid but hey I'm all for it go put more miles on Lebron's body and accelerate his decline.

Anyways serious question do you believe Kawhi's injury was legit?

Nah - I don't hate the Spurs at all - I just like to mess with you farmers. :lol

You are looking at this thru your homerific Silver and Black glasses. Yes, the Spurs were up 20+ in the playoffs vs the Dubs in that playoff series. It was more about the Dubs missing shots and the Spurs being uber efficient offensively AND playing solid D. You think they would have kept missing shots? Wide open ones too. I don't think so. I still say Dubs would have won with a healthy Kiwi in your lineup - even if it took game 7. But that's neither here or there.

As far as LBJ, he made the right choice. Outside of Kevin Love, there was no Cav I'd take over Lonzo, Kuz, Ingram and Josh Hart. That means this Lakers team he's on is better than the one he took to the Finals. And we added some vets who won't wilt when they see the Dubs or Rockets.

Don't believe me? The Lakers beat Indiana, the Celtics, and the Cavs themselves without a star last year - with the youngest roster in the league. The only East playoff team we didn't beat were the Raps - who had LeBronchitis :lol

And the Lakers have 3 of the top passers in the league in LeBron (9apg), Rondo (8apg), and Lonzo (6.9apg). Even 6'9" Ingram (3.9apg) can pass it and facilitate their offense. LeBron hasn't had this luxury since the Heattles. So when he says he wants to play off ball, he can afford to do so with my Lakers.

That means he won't "play PF full time" in the traditional sense that you are insinuating. Positionless basketball will be in effect. We will have a quality playmaker in the game for a full 48 minutes every night setting up teammates to score.

No, we won't be shooting 3s like the Dubs. Can't beat them at that game. What I do expect is to be physical with them. We got the players to do that and muck it up. Won't always be pretty but we absolutely will compete with them. My baby Lakers took it to them all 4 games last year without a star. Now they are a year older and we now have LeBron. Should be fun. I'm legit not scared of any teams this year. No promises, but we will surprise a lot of people.

And yes, Kiwi was legit hurt. I am 1,000% on board with him sitting out. Plantation Pop should have felt the same way.

1. Lakers are definitely not better than last year's Cavs. Kevin Love is a legit all-star and this current Laker's team has zero all-stars. I don't see Kuzma, Ingram,Lonzo stepping up to be a legit all-star player.
2. Believing the Lakers can hang with the Warriors based off of 4 regular season games from last year is pretty silly. Let's be real the Warriors were toying with the Lakers in all 4 of those games. Once they see Lebron in a Laker jersey they will be determined to pound them into the ground. If the Lakers meet the Warriors in the playoffs. I see a series ending in a sweep or 5 games.
3. I disagree with you about the Warriors-Spurs. I just don't see how the Warriors would have been able to adjust to the Spurs size and post up game during a 7 game series. It was even clear this year the Warriors had a difficult time guarding LMA with single coverage and resorted to double and triple teams. Warriors coudln't guard either Kawhi-LMA in the paint and it would have blown holes in their interior defense. Also factor in the Spurs were using their size to crash the offensive boards and that would have worn down the Warriors in a 7 game series.
4. The Kawhi injury was bs. I have an uncle and close friend who are Doctors and both have told me they have treated patients with Kawhi's condition and it's basically nothing. Kawhi milked a quad bruise to sit out the whole entire year. What he did is up there with someone faking whip lash to get money from the insurance company. Notice how Kawhi hid from the Spurs medical staff in NYC when they came to check on him. Also notice how ESPN never had any medical experts on to talk about this injury because the injury in itself was bs. I don't know if your being a troll when it comes to believing the injury was legit but if you truly do believe it was legit then I have to say you are a profoundly stupid person that can easily be hoodwinked.
5- Lakers the way they are currently constructed their ceiling at best is a 4th seed in the West but I see them most likely 5-7.

Pop should have let him sit the season out if that was how long it took to get back healthy. He also should have publicly supported him even if he was lying thru his yellow ass teeth. :lol

Y'all wasn't winning jackshit with a gimpy Kiwi anyway and you damn sho wasn't gone win without him. Then the prick sends Porker and Beak to call him out publicly? What an amazingly stupid dumbass Pop is. :lol

If Maginka gets him to sign in LA next summer - without trading for him - this forum = f:lolcked. I'll make sure of it. :lmao

What did pop do again?

Considering we lost over 20 games by < 10 points with the youngest roster in the league, Lonzo and Ingram missed 53 total games, and we upgraded everywhere but center, I agree with this tweet. Barring some major injuries, we winning 50+ and will be scary in the playoffs.

So if the lakers don’t win 50+ or if they are not scary in the playoffs, it can only mean Lonzo and/or Ingram make the team worse.

Good comparison. Svi will get a ton of open looks. The gravity Bron commands coupled with this team having 3 elite passers should get him a ton of open looks. All he has to do is knock em down.

He played well in SPL. But now even the regular season is the big stage here in LA now that we got Bron. We about to see if his summer success translates. Fingers crossed.

Nice, find...
Our fan base has way hotter chicks than the whole league maybe only Miami is close.

Lonza shot looks a little bit better. Svi can shoot it though.

[BD24]

Shiiiiit, CN and the local farmhands... Always try to spin shit as far and as hard as they want. Clips have been a JV operation even when they were far superior talent-wise to the Lakers.
Now that we have Bron they like the Chargers a second class citizen in their own fucking hometown. Lakers media day trends on Twitter...
Clippers media day is like high school D1 prospect announcing his intent to attend Duke in the fall.

We will win a chip eventually, Maginka and Bron have brought us back to relevance.

20 out of 21 treys. Kid can stroke it. :tu

wow that was impressive, and he's 6'8". LBJ might like Svi a lot. Obviously unproven but damn that stroke looks great.

[LkrFan]

LeBron, Rondo, and Lonzo aren't the only ones who can dish:

Our versatility, length, and team speed will be a problem for a lot of teams. Our Shaqtin a fool center has power forward speed and small forward leaping ability.

Javelle might lead the league in FG% frfr :lol

This year is about team chemistry and advertising for the next superstar. I’m not expecting more than some noise in the playoffs.

Its still an interesting year and anything can happen but team needs better shooting and rebounds.

I think we will rebound fine.
I think we need a back up center with some size.
Long term, anotehr star.
IF Ingram is your third best player you are probably a legit title contender.

Bitter much, Cav fan? :lol

You do realize we are running a slightly different offense, right? Gonna take some time for players to get used to it. Besides, Ingram, who just turned 21, will need the reps to grow into the Kang's 1st Lieutenant.

Ingram (and all other Laker players) will definitely benefit playing off of the Kang, as I predicted when he signed a 4-year deal. And before you say his 31 point night was a fluke, Ingram dropped 32 on KD and a healthy Dub squad last year.

You saw last night why we didn't trade him for Paul George or Jimmy Butler. In all fairness, I believe he would be a Spur right now if Pop offered up Kiwi, but still...He coming tho.

Lebron is on cruise control so are Lakers ...but ...

My concerns so far:
1. Perimeter defense no one seems to be playing any outside of Ingram and Lance ... Hart and KCP need to be much better.
2. BAckup center . Zubac played better today and i get small ball is in vogue, but I still think we need and active back up big man.
3. 3pt shoooting is still an issue.
4. Kuzma is pressin' he wants to be a star so baaad and I respect his desire but he needs to slow down a bit
5. KCP i s starting the year slow (again) I ahted him the first 30 games last year but he got so much better after his court case ...hope he figures out shit earlier

Positives:
1. even at half to three quarters seped Lebron still looks good ...
2. Rondo has been even better than I hoped. HE will not only mentor Lonzo but his impact will be significant for Ingram, Kuz and even Lebron
3. Its only pre-season ...because based onour play we look like a bottom 8 playoff team

I expect Lakers to be much better come playoffs than we will be to start year ...

Great post Killa. Agreed 100%.

I think they are all cruising. Luke's tinkering with lineups, building chemistry, putting players in different scenarios (i.e. Ingram as our closer last night with Bron on the sideline cheering him on, etc.). Couple more observations:

1) Our perimeter defense will be better this year. As much shit as these farmers heap on him for his shot, not much can be said negatively about Lonzo's defense. I watched him vs the likes of John Wall, Chef, etc. He more than held his own.

2) I think Hart will start at SG. His defense is suspect (gets a lot of ticky tack BS fouls), but he is a decent 3pt shooter, he's a bull on the boards and as a finisher. He is not afraid to mix it up. His handle is improved as well - which allowed us to get away with starting Ingram at PG and rest Rondo the whole game.

3) JaVelle McGee is not the complete knucklehead people make him out to be. His speed and keaping ability allows him to finish over most centers in the league. And he runs like a gazelle. I am also worried about the backup center spot. Zu showed some flashes last night but I need to see more. May have to pick up a backup center around December or so for stretch run.

4) Bench play. When Zo is starting, our 2nd unit will be anchored by Rondo, Kuz, KCP and believe it or not, Lance. My hope is that Rondo will optimize Zu by putting him in position to succeed. Ditto for Beasley who flashed a bit last night.

5) Back to Ingram. Sacramento is stocked with lotto talent (but they are young and inexperienced like Lakers the last 5 years). Ingram was clearly the 2nd best player out there behind LBJ (sure Fox got hot, but he won't go off like that if Lonzo and Rondo played). Down the stretch Ingram took over. Defensively and offensively. Bron gave him his props too, which was encouraging.

6) Kuz playing with Rondo will calm him down and allow him to be in positions to succeed. Rondo has a rep of being a great influence on young players which is good. Kuz is uber confident, but took too many ill advised shots. Gotta let the game come to him.

7) KCP off the bench will be an asset. His energy is phenomenal and only adds to our overall team speed. We should be top 3 in fast break points this year.

Early litmus test is coming next week. Although it's preseason, we play the champs B2B. I don't want to read into it either way, but state a fact: we were very competitive vs. Dubs last year without a star. Ingram even dropped 32 on KD. I'm not gonna make any predictions (LkrFan curse :lol) other than to say that the 2018-2019 Lakers will be fun to watch and compete their asses off.

Ingram is gonna be good, real good.
He is just more Pippen than Kd.
People need to stop comparing them because both are skinny
If skinny players are the comp than heTayshaun with better offense or KD with less range and skill
But he gonna be nice.

[LkrFan]

Yep yep. I don't see Ingram as the scorer KD is. If he grew into Pippen (my favorite non Laker of all-time) I'd be ecstatic. Pippen was a true swiss army knife. Ingram is the perfect 3rd option. If we can land a 2nd option this summer, our chances for contention skyrocket IMO.

Ingram shows flashes but still too inconsistent. He's making strides and LBJ believes in him which should boost his confidence.

[LkrFan]

Anyone need anymore evidence on why LBJ not only chose the Lakers, but blocked any possible trades for PG13 or Butler?

1048083333559640066

Yup if Ingram is your third best player you are a championship contender ...
And your boy Pippen was inconsistent his first few years too
Diffrence is Ingram i sonly 21 ...at 21 Pippen was still playing ball in the NAIA ..for a scrub school.

Rondo is a MFer. Gonna be hard for Lonzo to unseat him...which in turn will make Lonzo better as a player...if/when he does.

What I like most? We got 3 top ten passers (elite) on the squad. As long as at least 1 of them are on the floor, our offense should be humming all game long.

Defensively will be an issue, at least initially. We made strides last year but now the roster has been turned over at least 40%. Laker fans need to be patient.

[LkrFan]

I'm banking on this:
1049745944202235904

Son, you really need to let this go ...who cares if Jeannie wants to give credit to Achilles?
Would an audio recording of the convo suffice? Do you need someone to verify a private conversation in every story you read like this one?
She has told the story multiple times, so much so that Kimmel asked him about it and other reporters have asked her to confirm ...would a lie detector assuade your concerns?
In the end, who cares?! Him helping her wont move him up the pecking order past Magic as the GOAT Laker nor will it help him on those all time lists that had him ranked 12th when he retired. (I am sure he will be down near the bottom 20's in 10 years or less)
I dont care and Im a fan of his ... question is why do YOU care so much?
