Its stupid tbh.
He has some holes but still very young and he lost a year to injury
I don't understand why people are calling Randle a bust. I checked his stats and he pulled a double double last year, isn't that impressive for a rookie?

Spurstalk. Where averaging a double-double your rookie season means you're a complete ing failure
I watched a ton of Lakers games, last year, they were one of the 3 most entertaining teams in the NBA
Randle legitimately sucks, tbh..what exactly are his strengths, outside of rebounding?
He's a PF that might be the worst post player among starting bigs in the NBA(0.66 PPP, last season, which is unbelievably bad)..he's not a roll man(0.73 PPP, atrocious)..his game is all Isolation, he had one of the highest ISO %s in the NBA, last season, and did it inefficiently(just like he does everything else)..
Also, he shot around 10% on jump shots past 10 feet..
Defensively, he ranked 2nd last among PFs in defensive RPM
Rebounding is a strength of his, I suppose..I guess Brandon Bass as his ceiling might be a stretch, maybe he could become Carlos Boozer if he develops a jump shot and everything goes right for him..
He doesn't have a single decent skill on the offensive or defensive ends, though, if you exclude rebounding..
I was watching a video of team USA 1-on-1 drills and Randle (don't ask me why he was there) looked like absolute ass
He drives very well to the basket for a big. Just needs to clean up the misses around the rim, and improve the shooting. I wanna see him on year three
I don't see a lot of D'Angelo doubters this year, I guess after he dominated the summer league, talks of him being a bust are starting to die. I hav him dropping 19, 6 and 7 this year.
Top 6 PG in the league by March of next year.
They will be fine as long as there aren't any 68 year old grandmas for them to sexually harass.
We'll be winning les in three years.
Hard to judge anything with last season's show... this year there's (apparently) no more circus, maybe everybody can get a better look.
I think Russel zubac and Ingram can all be stars for them. Randle needs to develop more offense, but he can do dirty work. The right coach will bring out his qualities. I believe they're looking pretty good from a rebuild view. They're all relatively young and won't peak for a very long time. If they can find a way to make Russell work, they could develop a good core. Kid had a horrible situation with Kobe and Scott last year. I bet he shines with them out of his way. Looking forward to seeing g them develop. Hopefully lakes can be patient and develop them instead of trade away promising pieces.
after watching the summer league, I'm more excited about zubac tbh lol.
Things are trending upwards boys, I really have high expectations for D'Angelo this year, I think hes going to shine. I'm glad he decided to hoop with the USA Select and the rest of the Olympic team ,its going to help him big time. As for _ulius Randle, I haven't seen anything but literally D-League monkey ball, hope he figured out how to use his right hand and make a jump shot. Clarkson, this is his year to shine, I would like to see him facilitate more, and get to the paint more as well. Ingram, from what I saw in summer league, dude has monster potential to be good, just needs to stick with it, working out, nutrition, etc.. Zubac I feel is a great pick up, he is very young but dude has quick ups of the ground and is a good defensive presence. He needs to hit the weights as well though.
We will be much improved but if we win more than 30 games ...Luke is a potentially a great coach.
Would you be ok with another season of despair? I read the 2017 class is pretty deep...
No , not me at least, I have no trust in FO's ability to attract a FA, and Im pretty sure LakerNation feels the same way, we need to start competing and ASAP. No one will look this direction unless we start winning.
Thing is we have no choice we have talent but young talent doesnt win.
We are about a year behind on the development curve behind Minnesoata and they have Cat and got rid of Love a year before Kobe retired. They won like 33 games last year. The west is weaker at the bottom and middle but that still means we win 32 games max.
My early guess is we win 27-30 games with a 25 win floor and 32 win ceiling.
I hope I am wrong but that gives us a decent shot at keeping our pick again.
No FA of note is coming here but I dont want anyone not named KAT, RussADavis, LeBron, Durant steph Kiwi if we cant get those guys might as well keep building with youth and sucking. As long as we improve every month. From here on out Im cool.
I'll give it to you, you s is optimistic.
Probably the 2nd coming of the 2016-2017 OKC.
Bend over, I'll show you how to clean up the misses around the rim.
Damn that got on the bad side of both Larry and Lew?
I'll feed DMC's limp to a stray dog if Lakers don't ring again in the next 5 years.
Are you finally ready to pull it out?
