**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[Lizakers]

BI can do a lot on the court. Main issue is still strength gets bumped around a lot and knocked off balance.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

And if anybody knows about the shoes Ingram was wearing, it had ankle roll written all over it, Those things suck.
Also, at no point during the game last night did say I say "damn we could really use Ingram right now" hahahaha. Hate me now

word lol might as well rock some vapormax out there

id rock em on the casual all day tho

 

[DLF]

You must not have watched the 2nd half of last season.

You know most of these guys don’t actually watch the games right? They just look at box score and listen to what uncle SAS says.

[pmatic]

I enjoyed this.

How is he wearing adidas socks?

 

[D StaXX]

Edit- wrong thread. But no thanks to Melo.

 

[Lizakers]

LeGM is at it again

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

SMFH

Please. Lord. No.

 

[sohi 23]

Yall gotta stop getting worked up over headlines.
The Lakers FO doesn’t want Melo, Lebron is just sad his banana boat boy is going out like this.

We not signing Melo.

Beasley > Melo.

If Lebron was on a 1 year deal and we had to satisfy him, we would’ve traded Ball and BI for Wall and we would’ve signed Melo already lol.

Fake news.

He was not wearing those.

Those are the casual version of the BYW's... he only wears the performance version which doesn't look sloppy like that around the ankle.

The ones he was wearing last night have a compression sock-like thing that wraps around the ankles more snug.

 

[mr j 858]

I never understood why he pouted. Homie went to NO and still ain’t a starter....

He pouted because on his exit interview with Magic & Pelinka 2 seasons ago he was told "Hire a personal trainer get beefed up and you'll have a good shot at getting a contract extension" which he never saw.

Also his agent is the guy who also reps Paul George and D'Lo so there had to be bad blood there and his agent probably told him "The money is out there and there are at least 3 teams willing to pay you the max" which he didn't get last summer.

Good to know, the BYWs I got look dope but are super uncomfortable. Was wondering how dude played in em.

For people that plays ball, we all know shoe brand or height don't affect or prevent ankle sprains.
If you land on someone, you're gonna roll it. And if you
lock your ankle like steph and Rose, it will just pop the next joint which would be your
knee.

uhhhh so that's the lifestyle version.

this is the on court model:

I feel like I'm not on NT or the Lakers thread. This shoe is modeled after the Kobe FYW and Nick Young
wore this last season in May.

 

[sohi 23]

First game of a back to back and we got 3 games in 4 nights. Will be a good test.

At San Antonio should be a W.

Grizz will be a great matchup. Will be fun to see two defensive teams battle it out. @memphis was always a horror show for the Kobe era Lakers.

Vs Miami - this should be a W but Dragic will return this weekend so it’ll be tougher.

I want 3-0 but I’ll accept 2-1

 

[moonman818]

If we win this back to back I’ll become a believer

 

[tonelow]

Mem is on a back to back also. They play in NO tonight.

Want to see Zo be aggressive with the bench unit. KCP has to hit some shots too.

Nah. Will be 1-2. No rondo. No Ingram. Don’t see it. Grizz are VERY tough and at home. SA on the road, derozen and gay own us so don’t see it. Hope I’m wrong

 

[kobeoverbron]

Griz are too good. I'm chalking that up as an L. we should be 2-1.

“Lonzo, I think what he’s been doing throughout the year (is impressive),” Chandler told reporters after the game. “Especially of late on this run, picking up full court, getting steals, getting us extra buckets.

“With him, he’s one of those guys where scoring doesn’t matter because he impacts the game in so many different ways with his passing, with his defense and just the creativity out there."

Hmmm...

 

[noblekane]

you guys need to relax

athletes put **** out there so they dont look bad

greek freak was acting like he aint want to get coach fired but really gave the ok

[Lizakers]

Hmmm...

Are deflections, some steals, some rebounds, and some nice passes worth a #2 pick? Do you truly believe that objectively?
