2017 Lakers Off Season Thread

[Vitamike]

there are any number of guys who can be pulled from the G-league (the fuck does the G stand for anyway?)

NBA Gevelopment League of course...


You know tf, they got a sponsor...

Gatorade CALL-UP!

Ball balled out last night....I think he's going to be a keeper.

Hard to say. According to an article I read this morning they have a few options available. They have had some talks with Rondo, are considering Tyler Ennis, but have not met with him yet. Also, Ian Clark, Isaiah Canaan and Ramon Sessions are available, but have not been pursued aggressively by the Lakers.

I'd bring back Ennis.

Good for him, he has really flashed at times, and of course had the great start (And win) while Zo rested his hammy.

The Lakers really upgraded their shooting....every position can shoot and score.

now hoping the defense upticks...

I like Caruso.

Agree. Nwaba is what he is. He's a limited player who gets by on hustle. Nice to have, but there are any number of guys who can be pulled from the G-league (the fuck does the G stand for anyway?) that you can say the same thing about and several of those guys have more natural ability and/or are bigger than Nwaba.

A player like KCP on a 1 year deal is a no brainer.

Gatorade. They paid to sponsor it. Screw em. I'm still calling it the D-League

Thanks. I was afraid it stood for something stupid like "Gangsta League" or something. lol

Magic is making some damn good moves. We shall see if all translates to a different Lakers team on the court.

I don't see how it couldn't. Brook Lopez at center is a pretty big upgrade over Mozgov, if for no other reason than he's an actual modern NBA center.

KCP should be a nice upgrade over Swaggy as the 2 guard. I don't think he's as good a scorer as Swaggy, but he's a better defender (and that's with Swaggy having arguably his best year defensively). Perhaps the ball movement that it looks like Lonzo will bring, will lead to better shots for KCP and help him improve that aspect of his game.

It's still a very young team and they will have their "young team mistakes" and learning curve. But overall, they should be improved.

30-35 wins and being entertaining is what we should be hoping for and should open them up to being able to land a top FA or 2 next off-season.

All in all, it's nice to see them headed in the right direction again.

Indeed TJF12. The bottom only produces an upward movement and that is what Magic and Pelinka are doing: The Lakers Way!

NP, tf, I thought at first stood it stood for "Galactoid League" cause after this, we wont be seeing too many of these White BB players playing in Summer League again this year, unless you watch the G-League.
