Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

LA leads Boston, 99-93, after 3 quarters of play.

Sure, 1 game. Talking bigger sample size.....if he sucks tonight, still 20 points in 5 of the last 9 games.....that's better than 50%.56% to be exact.









And not a 5-6 year vet. Still just 21 and in his 3rd season. He's a kid.

Ingram has been inconsistent period. He has a ton of potential., but you are basing 8 games vs 3 years. How is 8 games a big sample size??

8 games is a lot bigger than 1 game.....


You want to talk a full season? 17ppg, 5rpg, and 3apg. That's not exactly scrub material.

Boston leads, 105-101.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James with a sick 3.

 

[DJ Fieri]

19 treys, a franchise record for the Lakers.

 

[DJ Fieri]

KCP with a huge trey.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James with a 3 to tie it up at 124.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This would be a huuuuuuuuuuuge win.




Need a defensive stop here.

 

[tomodach10]

Great win!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Rondo won it at the buzzer.

 

[DJ Fieri]

That's why I am glad we signed Rondo.....veteran move there.

 

[DJ Fieri]

THe Clipps are expected to release Beasley.

If there's the definition of a "much needed win", that was it.

I didn't like either trade but apparently Magic and Pelinka ran out of patience with both players. The Clips got Zubac for practically nothing. I thought that was the worse of the two trades but moving Mkyhailiuk too soon made little sense as well. Zubac may be back with us next year as he will be a FA this summer if I have my facts straight. Basically they are renting Zubac to the Clips for the rest of the season. Muscala is decent as is Bullock for the long ball.

I was totally glad the AD deal didn't go down. The Pels basically wanted to embarrass Pelinka and Magic because they thought they were tampering and after the Lakers offered nearly their entire team and two number ones, the Pels still didn't budge.

As Tomodach mentioned, the negotiations became a laughingstock affair and we were giving-up way too much for AD. Period.

 

[Retroram52]

If this is true, why does Magic and Pelinka need another Michael Beasley? Saving the open roster spot for Carmelo Anthony just keep LeBron from shitting himself is just plain idiotic. That Zubac trade is getting worse by the minute.

Way too soon to let Myk go and Zubac has played very well when given PT.

This is starting to remind me of the Cavs gutting their team to get vet guys that fit into the LeBron game mode and letting the young assets go in the process.

I agree. I like Zub and Myk. Way too early to give up on them. No, to washed up Anthony. The Lakers should have came out last week and said, We are not trading for AD, we like our young guys. I dont know how Magic thought the Pels were going to trade AD to us. The whole world knew they never would. It was embarrassing. Never should have tried. They should have quietly traded for a shooter like Ross,

Zubac was leaving this summer anyway, he's looking to get paid and the Lakers have to let guys walk if they want to be a player in FA....

Who is to say the Lakers would not have tried to sign him. We have enough money for a max player with Zub. I dont think teams are going to be breaking the bank to sign Zub???
