Really bad attempt at a comeback bud.

Go back to the Laker board (if you ever posted there in the 1st place) instead of spending your time trolling on ours.


Wow, comin in hot huh bud? I don't see why i would need a "comeback" when you hadn't even said anything to me. But excuse me for pointing out the obvious irony of your post, your thresh hold for "trolling" seems a bit low, sorry for triggering you!

At any rate I've been lurking this forum since the lottery, intend to continue doing so :) kind of have a vested interest in this discussion.

Dick Vitale said Sixers should take Ingram. He said we need someone who can make an immediate impact. Lol. Yeah because Simmons can't make an immediate impact. If anything he's the one who will make an immediate impact moreso than Ingram. Do these people even think?

Lol. Vitale also said Tyler Hansbrough would be a good pro. He was pumping him up big time.

Tweets like this are all we need to see to debunk the idea that he doesn't want to play for us.

Yup, Vitale covered a lot of ingram games.

Hi, sorry for the hostile treatment. A lot of traumatic experience with Bynum. Please continue to lurk and give your opinion when you feel like doing so.

Probably the best Ingram breakdown I've seen on the net: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iffn2bZVFJU. I know the 76ers are leaning Simmons, but a worthwhile watch made by a laker fan.

Not that I was worried about it, but it is nice to see that the ball keeps rolling.

Waiting for the posts debating what he ordered at dinner vs Ingram.

My son showed me a pic of Simmons, Russell, and Towns on Instagram with Devin Booker maybe? Simmons is huge, looks to be as big as Towns. I'd post it but as y'all already know, I'm computer illiterate.

Edit sorry someone else already has it in another thread.

Here is the photo that you are referring to.

Computer Tip: If you search for the image in Google images, and then click on the "view Image" link, you will see the image on a page by itself.

Just copy the URL into your post, then highlight the whole address, and click on the "IMG" tag in the posting screen, and it will place IMG tags before and after the link, which will then make it display as a photo in your post.
