Bust, 10th man, bust, bust, bust.
D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Ingram, Randle and Zubac. Honestly, can you see them as the second coming of OKC? What's their ceiling? With the exception of Russell who I believe will be a perennial All-Star, the rest appears to be a little bit underwhelming?
Bust, 10th man, bust, bust, bust.
You really believe that, Splitty?
Bend over, I'll show you how it feels to be cored
I think ingram is legit and in time may be the best of the bunch.
Lol some of the tiest talent evaluators weighing in
Lets play Boban!!!
Mills is better than Parker!!

zubac could be a 7th man tbh
Laker fans are high on him. I read plenty of comparisons to Marc Gasol...
Haha. How about Jordan Clarkson?
I love his work ethic and think he has a small chance of being good not an all-star.
Problem is tough to gauge him when he went to school 4 years and he is out-playing guys who went to school for 1 ... he should be better than most 2nd-3rd year players. If he improves his defense and his 3 point shot he could be a starter on a good probably not great team.
They need to face the music and trade Russell. (They) will not let him/us live in peace until he is elsewhere. Then, THEN, then (it) will change over night. They'll leave him be. He & Swaggy will be friends. Swaggy will stipulate that "it was a good thing. I'm a better man. I respect women now. I'm a better man. I'm a better black man. I respect women now. Especially my mother, a black woman who sacrificed for me. I am a changed man. And I want to thank D. Russ for helping me see the light. I love him. He's my brother." On & on. Until then (((they're))) gonna where we eat.
Bottom, bottom is still awaiting our arrival. We ain't there yet. Not by a jugful we ain't.
Russell - has the attention of a lot of people in the nba. Cuban couldn't stop talking about him in summer league. All star player in 2-3 years
Clarkson - just gave the Lakers a huge bargain contract signing for 12 mil a year/4 years. Great scorer, poor defender. Legit 6th man of the year candidate in a couple years.
Ingram - Kinda early to say. A lot of potential here. Working in Luke's system for a couple years could do wonders. Potential all star player in 4-5 years.
Randle - Still has no outside jumper. Has a lot of talent in other areas, averaged a double-double last year. Not an all star, but solid player with great at ude and work ethic. A nice piece to have on a contender.
Zubac - Great team-mate, everyone likes him. He's said many times how bad he wanted to be chosen by the Lakers. Looks really good for 19. Plays defense, isn't afraid to get dunked on, very active hands and good footwork. Runs the floor very well for a 7 footer. Should be a very serviceable center for the long term.
All very nice choices by the Lakers front office
He may get traded. He may not ...
But I dont buy that he cant be left in peace.
Kobe was accused of rape.
Odom is druggie.
Kareem punched Benson.
Orlando Woolridge was also a druggie
We forgive. all he has to do is perform.
If he does, we get more for him in trade or the Lakers fans will forgive ...and embrace.
WGAF what outsiders think?
Kobe was hated for most of his 20 years ...
You my Republican corn fed "nicca" cully but dont be a wuss.
The only thing he has in common with Kobe at this point is a flair for the dramatic ... and he his hated by outsiders. '
TBH, that makes me like him even more.
I agree. We've seen worst tbh. Heck, JR smith has always been a malcontent and look at him now.
But, (Kobe's rape) was big time and had to be handled delicately on orders from Stern in NYC. Russell's gossip is fair game. Like money from home. "Have at it, boys." - Silver.
Every time we get up off the mat they're going to wink & nod about Russell/Swaggy...then stoically write about it:::"It's really tough for these two young black men. They've learned a valuable lesson, and if forgiveness can't be found between them then that is the responsibility of the Laker's brain trust. It will take time, and the worst possible move here would be to trade one of them. A valuable lesson can be learned over time by not only the Laker's storied franchise, but, all NBA teams and their players. Let's watch and learn from these two proud African Americans as they work through this opportunity. Yes, it is an opportunity."
On & on.
Is that what they are?
All busts. Their ceiling is that Baby Bulls team that lost in the first round a couple times.
You got two ceilings to aspire toward, you prick.
And another player nobody mentioned is Larry Nance Jr. Another great 2 way player that can hit shots and jump out of the gym. All these guys are going to be legit starting players in the nba, and Jim Buss is picking them out of the second round... This. Guy. Is. Good.
Is that what they are?
Lakers have a better future than the Mavs though. Let that sink in. Maybe even better than my Clippers *shrugs*
Im just waiting to hear something bad bout this years rookie. Randle breaking his leg and Russell being exposed as a rat are gonna be tough to top.
Sorry, I mean "our" Clippers.
Can't judge Ingram or Zubac, yet, it's just guessing, at this point..
I won't say anything about Russell, too, since it's unfair to judge him when he was just playing "PG" on a team with the worst coach in the NBA and being forced to watch Kobe's "farewell tour" on the court..as I said when it happened, though, the snitching incident is going to follow him forever, unless he becomes a star player IMO..it's not a coincidence that the Lakers, a once proud franchise, couldn't even get a single FA meeting with a decent player..
Randle is legitimately bad, though..he doesn't have any notable skills, he's horrendous on defense, and his body is underwhelming..his ceiling is probably Brandon Bass..
You niccas dont see enough of the Lakers to provide solid analysis ...i watched the fewest amount of Laker games and i still saw randle more than all of you.
I am most worried about him reaching his potential (than russ or Ingram Clarkson or even Nance ...but still to early to judge him fairly ...last year was his rookie year.
I will tell youbif he is a bust by February.
