2018 NBA offseason

Except me

Especially you.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I don't know the lineup yet. Heck even Luke probably doesn't.

I see a lot more changes coming.

How many wins would you predict for this team as currently is?

Hmmmmmmm........

I really like the idea of Kuzma off the bench with Stephenson, Rondo and Hart, Wagner.

You could have a pretty high scoring 2nd unit.

But, I'm not in love with having McGhee or Zubac as a starter.

I will say.....

47-50 range.

That is around 3-5 seed in the West.

 

[trojanfan12]

So 2 of the 3 Sixers draft picks are now injured. Some things never change.

They can sit out all season and be co-Rookies of the Year the following season.

 

[Bolts]

They need an SF don't they?

Kings will take Deng.....if the Lakers throw in Ingram.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yes I think they start JaVale -he's the best C they have right now. Kuzma is too small to play PF. If I'm Luke I put Ingram at the 4 & move LBJ over to the 3. KCP at the 2 & Rondo as the starting PG. Kuz comes off the bench w/ Ball.

I guess you can get away with Ingram in positionless basketball.

But, LeBron should be the 4.

I agree Rondo should start if he earns it in camp.

I want Melo on Miami

Especially you.

Gun to your head, Lakers win total as currently constructed?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I want Melo on Miami

For basically free, sure why not?

It only makes sense. Only issue is someone who thinks they should be starting will have to be a bench player

I typically agree, but a lot of times LBJ will have the greater advantage playing the 3 - just like KD does.

 

[LAD]

They sound a lot like Heat fans when they had Lebron.

There is no way that Ingram can consistently play the 4. He won't play 50 games a season.

JaVale is best in small doses - but he's so dang good in the short period it's almost fools gold to think he'd be good as a starter. Now, in the case when he was with GS there wasn't a better C IMO.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The Lakers would have won 40-42 games if Ball and Ingram hadn't missed like 53 games.

Add James and the other FA's they can win 50-53 games.

You forget, Utah, Denver, Minny , Nola had major injuries too.

Had Milsap not gotten hurt, the Nugz would have been a playoff team.


Had Rudy not gone down, would we have even had a Spida Mitchell coming out partly?

Butler in Minny...

Boogie, Roberson....

What if, what if, what if....

this will be his 3rd season, he better start manning up! lol

Positionless basketball requires everyone being a competent shooter. That ain't the Lakers.

Not at 87lbs

Do you think his frame is really capable of manning up enough to play the 4? He makes KD look like The Rock.
