Tristan Thompson out for a month and IT is complaining about us not buying out Okafor. I think that they could take the bait.

Lonzo at +11 with no points and none of his stats are over 5. Will Lonzo's dad credit Lonzo with the win?

If we lose, and healthy Fultz has played 28 mins with 0 points while starting.....how does Philly react?

LA is a bottom 5 team talent wise. They're gonna ship off a top 5 pick to Boston thanks to Bryan "future assets are just that, future assets" Colangelo.

the better question is : how does Unbreakable react?? :D

I asked him a few days ago if he thought Ball was still the best rookie in the NBA ? ( to which he said yes)....

the more fitting question is Ball the best rookie on his team.

This question applies to Lloydfree too.....who has been MIA in Lonzo Ball conversations. I wonder why.

Would have had the same record as us if they won this game. Their bench is good.

There are 4 awfully bad teams right now, Lakers just have to be better than one or two of the other lesser bad teams.

My dad told me one thing about basketball, you (as in yourself) eventually will have to put the ball in the basket.

Playing PG in the NBA is hard as **** and takes time guys. Fox recently had a 1-8 night. Smith Jr. kinda looked like ass against us.

Ball is going to be fine. Not world changing like the Lakers may need but fine..he is going to have to tweak a lot of things but he has time...dude is young. He's not MCW in that he's old and probably finished...

If you want to get back at Fultz' haters for being harsh...you cannot do the same to whatever target they happen to love and constantly pump up. Its too early for one...and most defenses usedin Fultz' favor applies to others as well. This was a class full of one and dones...which means development for many will be bumpy.

Yup. Kiss that Lakers pick goodbye and get ready to see Bamba Bagley Ayton or Williams in Celtic green thanks to dumbass BC.

They are different types of players. Fultz is a better scorer. Ball distributes more.

I did not say that. Simmons is the best rookie.

What I meant was that you said Ball is the best rookie drafted in 2017 draft....
The new question is which 2017 drafted rookie is best on the lakers?

Kuzma is trying to come for that ROY. He’s saying to Simmons not so fast buddy.

Good for ball because otherwise this year the Lakers have been awesome without him on the court then fell off a cliff with him on.
