Jul 08th 2016
32
a lottery pick for next year.
Jul 08th 2016
38
      Eh. I'd need to know the pick.
Jul 08th 2016
39
      don't know what y'all see in him.
Jul 08th 2016
42
      And I don't know what you don't. *shrug*
Jul 08th 2016
44
      "multiple speeds" just means he ain't that quick...cuz he not.
Jul 08th 2016
50
           I hear you. I just disagree.
Jul 08th 2016
55
                russ...all-star selection over who? think about it and let me know.
Jul 08th 2016
59
                     he's got a 20-7-5 season in him
Jul 08th 2016
63
                     on an incredibly bad team he does.
Jul 08th 2016
67
                     I'm not convinced he will be in the West.
Jul 09th 2016
77
                          He's a Laker. He'll get voelted in the second he shows some consistency
Jul 09th 2016
80
                               That's a really good point.
Jul 09th 2016
91
      you sound like someone who has only watched 2 minutes
Jul 08th 2016
47
      he not that good.
Jul 08th 2016

Jul 08th 2016
65

Jul 08th 2016
66

Jul 08th 2016
69
                          i ain't say no shit like jrue was gonna be a great PG. you did.
Jul 08th 2016
71
                               neither did I...you're just throwing random UCLA players out
Jul 09th 2016
72
                                    you can't do BASIC detective work
Jul 09th 2016
73
      You would if you weren't dead set on this dumbfuck agendabot 24/7
Jul 09th 2016
75
      maybe we just disagree. why you always so mad?
Jul 09th 2016
76
           Im not talking about disagreeing, BasaMaxxx
Jul 09th 2016
79
                we even disagree on that. oh well.
Jul 09th 2016

                     No we don't. You knownwhat you're doing, BasaMaxx AgendaBot.
Jul 09th 2016
90
                          We disagree.
Jul 09th 2016
97
                               No, BasaMaxx. You're a mindless, soulless AgendaBot.
Jul 09th 2016
98
                                    we disagree. it's fine.
Jul 09th 2016
100
                                         It's a new day, BasaMaxxx. What's on the Agenda for 7/9/16?
Jul 09th 2016
102
                                              we do not agree
Jul 09th 2016
103
                                                   How can we disgree when you don't have opinions, BasaMaxx?
Jul 09th 2016
104
                                                        we don't see eye to eye here
Jul 09th 2016
105
                                                        AgendaBots don't have eyes, BasaMaxxx. Only tired ass agendas.
Jul 09th 2016
107
                                                             we don't agree right now
Jul 09th 2016
108
                                                                  AgendAndroids lack the capacity for reason BasaMaxx
Jul 09th 2016
109
                                                                  still don't agree
Jul 09th 2016
114

Jul 12th 2016
218
      To Sixers for their own pick back.
Jul 08th 2016
43
           I'm not convinced LA will be *that* bad this year.
Jul 08th 2016
48
                You don't think Lakers will be a Top 6 pick next year?
Jul 08th 2016
49
                I'm just not confident enough to bet on it.
Jul 08th 2016
53
                maaaaan, lakers gonna be some shit. Lu is WASHED.
Jul 08th 2016
51
      he plays for Lakers..not the Sixers...
Jul 08th 2016
45
           y'all ain't nobody right now, dogg. lol. you ain't immune.
Jul 08th 2016
52
                MC-W for the Lakers pick was also a great deal.
Jul 08th 2016
54
                that's who i think about when i think russell. that level of talent.
Jul 08th 2016
57
                I'm talking about the strategy of putting a team together...
Jul 08th 2016
58
                     i'm talking about punting your future PG for the change at a better 1
Jul 08th 2016
64
                          again...that's just dumb...
Jul 08th 2016
68
                               usually i'd just laugh at you from afar, but i got a stake in the lakers
Jul 08th 2016
70
                                    fool you ain't got stake in sh*t
Jul 09th 2016
74
                                         you can't even stop me from making the same joke for a decade
Jul 09th 2016
78
                                              and making the same joke for a decade is why you're not funny
Jul 09th 2016
82
They didn't pick Jah. Get over it.
Jul 08th 2016
34
He not a star, dogg. I want Randle gone, too.
Jul 08th 2016
41
      Lakers don't give a fuck what you want, BasaMaxx.
Jul 09th 2016
99
I have the same impression every time I watch HowDoesItFeel
Jul 08th 2016
60
they need to do it before these niggas be whining "he's only 23!"
Jul 08th 2016
62
He's like a lanky Dre Miller w/ range
Jul 09th 2016
83

Why in the hell is Devin Booker playing Summer League?
Jul 09th 2016
113
      I dunno. Eternal kinship with Tyler is the only reason I got.
Jul 09th 2016

Not the bad guy, just the agenda guy
Jul 09th 2016

      i said i wasn't a fan before i gave a shit about the lakers
Jul 09th 2016

Larry nance Jr playing good D on Simmons
Jul 09th 2016
123

Jul 09th 2016
125

Jul 09th 2016
126
mvp chants.
Jul 09th 2016
129
he's a + player in so many areas.
Jul 09th 2016
128
Nance ended up being a great get for us...
Jul 09th 2016
143
      Oh word?
Jul 10th 2016
148
nice little ending here
Jul 09th 2016
130
russell just made 2 potential game winners. second one was deep.
Jul 09th 2016
131
For all those people on twitter that i saw say Mitch needed to be fired
Jul 09th 2016
132
Question: why are you even paying attention to Twitter comments lol
Jul 09th 2016
138
clutch interview too lol!
Jul 09th 2016
133
D'Angelo Russell has the mindset for greatness.
Jul 09th 2016
134
boy terrible. markelle fultz better RIGHT NOW
Jul 09th 2016
136
I'm glad that self-criticism was the first thing on his mind
Jul 09th 2016
137
and his "ice in my veins" while dude scores a lay up
Jul 09th 2016
139
He'll be Aiight
Jul 10th 2016
150
whew D'tective got the ice. what a comeback.
Jul 09th 2016
135
D' and Nance Jr. were huge in the 4th quarter....
Jul 09th 2016
140
If anyone gets that spot, it should be Augustin
Jul 09th 2016
144
      that what i've been saying
Jul 09th 2016
145
      *Auguste
Jul 10th 2016
149
      Auguste can play in the league. Hes a horse.
Jul 10th 2016
156
Thanks again to the Sixers for taking Simmons
Jul 09th 2016
142
Philly needed Simmons, Lakers needed Ingram.
Jul 09th 2016
146
Co-sign
Jul 09th 2016
147
LA and Philly could both have used either one...
Jul 10th 2016
151
      you just typed the issue with that
Jul 10th 2016
158
           But both teams still have needs...
Jul 10th 2016
167
are we pretending Ingram wasn't absolutely trash last night?
Jul 10th 2016
152
      he really had to be trash to make simmons' shitty game look good
Jul 10th 2016
153
      But but Simmons bounce passes are oh so crisp though.
Jul 10th 2016
154
      Watching now. Ingram invisible. In the third quarter.
Jul 10th 2016
155
      Lakers need a big time scorer on the wing. And he's not it.
Jul 10th 2016
157
      this is summer league champ...I'm looking at skillsets...
Jul 10th 2016
166
      I'm loving your posts lately, Warren.
Jul 10th 2016
170
           thnx...
Jul 10th 2016

      Lakers blew their coaching hire and the #2 pick
Jul 10th 2016
168
           Lol
Jul 10th 2016

Jul 10th 2016

      Yup, excited to see their development
Jul 10th 2016
164
      That's never stopped anyone on OKS before! lol
Jul 10th 2016
171
Ben doesn't really have an offensive repertoire yet...
Jul 10th 2016
165
      He has awkward offensive moves like rookie Blake Griffin
Jul 10th 2016
172
      looking awkward and not long to shoot the ball are 2 different
Jul 10th 2016
184
      RE: Ben doesn't really have an offensive repertoire yet...
Jul 10th 2016
175
      so you're saying he's not as good as Magic Johnson?
Jul 18th 2016

Sixers vs Bulls, coming up.
Jul 10th 2016

Jul 11th 2016
194
                The big thing was that he looking to shoot
Jul 11th 2016
197
                his form isn't bad
Jul 11th 2016
198
                It will be fine, and he will be a multiple time all star
Jul 11th 2016
199
                     i agree

                Word, I hear that.

Jul 12th 2016
219
just watched the highlights....good to see him taking shots..
Jul 11th 2016
191
      Man, the only people that care about his position make basketball cards
Jul 11th 2016
192
      ...and run a basketball team called the 76ers
Jul 11th 2016
193
      He's a PG on offense and SF/ PF on defense.
Jul 11th 2016
196
It's Jimmer time!
Jul 11th 2016
195
Thon - double double lol

Jul 11th 2016
207
He's playing with much more control tonight
Jul 11th 2016
208
Imagine him and Simmons
Jul 12th 2016
209
      Why do you keep saying the Lakers "whiffed" by missing Simmons?
Jul 12th 2016
211
           Lol I'm just messing around
Jul 12th 2016
212
                Yeh, their shooting ability was certainly a wash
Jul 12th 2016
213
                     Yeah , so far ingram really displayed amazing shooting ability
Jul 12th 2016
214
                          Lolz

                                    That's nice, that comment is still full-retard
Jul 12th 2016
225
                                         using retard as a derogatory term in 2016?
Jul 12th 2016
226
                                              It's a movie reference man (Tropic Thunder)
Jul 12th 2016
228
                                                   lol it's an obvious referrence, no need for quotes
Jul 12th 2016
230
                                                        lol yes, youre clearly the epitome of emotional stability and reason

                                                        Funny thing: People have shitted on D-Lo prematurely.
Jul 12th 2016
232
                                                             My record on DLo is crystal clear so there's no cycle
Jul 12th 2016
233
                                                             I'm not saying you, but it's not like Guru is keeping a tally.
Jul 12th 2016
235
                                                                  What's that got to do with the price of whatever in wherever?
Jul 12th 2016
241
                                                                  He knows my stance on DLo, very well
Jul 12th 2016

      Since Brandon Ingram is doing nothing you don't like Summer League?
Jul 12th 2016
220
           nah...since he not playing no more, i don't like summer league
Jul 12th 2016
229
                He played yesterday and was trash. Unless that was James Ingram.
Jul 12th 2016
234
                     he absolutely stunk after a solid first game. But guess what?

I so want to be wrong about dude
Jul 12th 2016

Russell and Booker have been the most impressive players
Jul 12th 2016
247
Not surprising considering what they did against ACTUAL NBA players
Jul 12th 2016
249
Not feeling a ton better about Jaylen.
Jul 12th 2016
252
he was drafted too high
Jul 12th 2016
253
Hes gonna be a solid pro - just off how hard he plays
Jul 13th 2016
259
yeah, he's not looking great
Jul 13th 2016

Jul 13th 2016
274
                     and how is any of this unique to Cuse?
Jul 13th 2016

                          I think most 'Cuse players are like Fair
Jul 13th 2016

                               Fair improved greatly from freshman year to Junior year

2. "What to look for: Sixers edition"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Based off of what we saw in Utah.

1. Can Simmons finish better around the rim? He definitely got surprised that people are able to challenge him there much more than at previous levels. That's really the biggest thing he needs to show his rookie season, given that his shot is just going to take time to even get to average (hey Ba) and that everything else is well on the path to being elite.

2. Is Christian Wood real? Unfortunately, this may be something that impacts the league more than us, given that he's not under contract with us anymore and we already have way too many big men. Dude was a monster in Utah. He is in shape and has fully unleashed the bamma within to become a terror (summer league caveat) on the boards, and he showed a nice ability to drive and nice touch around the rim. He's a Process favorite that I'll always root for.

3. Are we watching the last of TJ McConnell on the Sixers? Please say yes. Dude sees Ben's god-level passing, tries to emulate, and is terrible. With the FA PGs we signed I'm hoping he's gone.

4. Luwawu in transition. There's no great analysis here. That dude is fun as fuck to watch out in the open.

Watched him against Utah last night. He was being guarded by Tre Lyles who backed off of him so much that he was damn near in the paint.. daring him to shoot a jumper. Was most effective after one dribble move and going downhill, but that won't work on a consistent basis.

11. "So torn on whether to go up tomorrow."
In response to Reply # 0


          

1 p.m. -- Phoenix vs. Portland - see the man, the myth, the Dragan Bender!
3 p.m. -- Boston vs. Chicago - See my boys, although Jaylen might be out. I'd like to see Rozier up close though, see if the summer hype so far is real.

Then switch arenas to see the marquee 5:30 Sixers vs. Lakers matchup.

If it was Phoenix vs. Denver, I might be more likely to go. I'll probably end up skipping but it's a fun thought.

I wish the summer league was still in Long Beach.

22. "He has great range"
In response to Reply # 20


  

          

He slides his feet well and covers space.

He still needs to get stronger and figure out his footwork. But you have. A guy that size with that athleticism who combines it with his motor and some bammaness - you'll have an NBA player who can contribute.

I still really think they need to treat him like Drummond and build him up from inside out. Cut the 3's, add weight, work on footwork and start from the block. If he's shooting he can use his touch for 12-15 footers

I see a kid who can score from anywhere, who can move at multiple speeds, good in transition or half-court, great in the post for a guard, and he just turned 20. The potential is too sexy to me. And I think he'll be a great partner for BI.

But hey, I get that you're on the opposite side on this one.

In response to Reply # 44


  

          



half the shit he's doing in this game would be turnovers against real NBA players. those two consecutive driving layups over that bum big wouldn't cut it against a real NBA big.

he's not that good in transition and "GREAT" in the post is the cyse of all cyses.

consistency, man. i just never envision him fine-tuning things enough to be more than a guy who has a couple of great games a month. that's who he is. i'd trade guys like that every time. they ain't special. trick someone else into falling in love with potential.

I think by the time he's 22-23, he's a starter on a good team, if not an All-Star. We just see different players.

I just think he'll be an impressive well-regarded guard on a good team, and if the right players retire and/or move to the East?

I don't know that he'll make an ASG. But I feel good that he'll be very good.

He'll be good for at least one All Star start due to Lakers fan thirst of nothing else. Don't be shocked if he snags the fan vote the second he puts up Jordan Clarkson numbers. That's what happened with Kobe.

In response to Reply # 61


  

          

The Lakers are a professional organization with a history of developing talented players...

that idea of drafting players only to trade them for future picks...then recycling the same losing strategy...never developing talent... That's for other organizations...

the Lakers have compiled a young core of talented players that don't all play the same position, and that we aren't trying to trade the year after we got them...

and making up stuff I supposed said about them.....

that's all you got... You weren't even on okaysports when Jrue or Farmar came in the league clown....at least I dont' remember you being here...

I do remember pointing out that Farmar, Jrue, Collison, Westbrook and Afflalo were all coming in the league contributing while Duke players during that same time were ending up in Europe or turkey...or riding NBA pine.. but those were just facts...

see I don't make dumb ass predictions to cover up for the failures of players from my favorite college team... I actually know what I'm talking about when it comes to the NBA...College B-Ball...Baseball...the NFL....College Football...boxing...

I don't have to hide behind cornball agendas....

You're not even a person in these posts.

You have arbitrary agendas, BasaMaxx, not opinions.

People with opinions can disagree, BasaMaxx, but it's impossible to disagree with an AgendaBot.

They're not playoff bound, I don't think... but I wouldn't deal Russell for a low lotto pick next year, if that's what it ends up being.

If they could get a Top 6 pick to get Fultz or Dennis, then sure, I'd consider it. Depends where you think that pick ends up.

I just think they should wait and see what Westbrook does in free agency next year. Keep Russell for now. He will only be better than what he was last year, imo. If you sign Westbrook, you can deal Russell. If you miss on Westbrook somehow, you keep Russell. That's just me tho..

I can't imagine them being better than the 4th worst team in the NBA next season. The talent is still young and I don't see Deng and Mozzy making THAT big of a difference.

And if you're dealing Russell for that pick, I think you need it to be a Top 6 pick. I could change my mind later, but right today, that's what I'd eyeball. And I think they'll be close... but if they end up with the 8th instead of the 5th? I think right today that I'd rather have Russell.

Remember that I think Russell has All-Star potential, though. If you don't, I get why you'd make that deal and take that gamble.

the Lakers and the Sixers are not following the same path in comprising a team.... the Sixers stockpiled a bunch of guys who play the same position, and whose games do not compliment each other....they also have made a habit trading some young players who have shown some ability....and trading them for future draft picks... that's the type of trade you mentioned the Lakers doing with D'Angelo Russell...

All you're doing is rehashing the same idiotic agenda you've had in the past as pre-plea cops for Duke players likely to flop in the league.... it's a joke...

but you can't apply it to the Lakers.

Brandon Ingram is a Laker.... his year at Duke as far as you're concerned never happened, because you are not welcome in Laker nation, and have no stake in anything or anyone Laker related...

So go back and jock whichever future flop is headed to Duke and hope he goes to one of the other 31 teams.....

the Lakers are a Black hole for you playboy....

We got Brandon Ingram now...

and every time you come up with one of these nonsense posts about the Lakers that exposes your completely ignorance of the NBA...rest assured Warren Coolidge will be there to clown and embarrass you as he's done for years...

YOU lost the lottery player....lol

Nice player. Pretty good shooter. Pretty good vision. Not a great defender, but he's long, which helps.

But think I think of who the great point guards in this league are. Chris Paul. Steph. Russy. (And yes Kyrie)

Those dudes are whirlwinds. When Steph gets an open 3, you know you're fucked. When CP3 is in a pick and roll, you know it ends in a dunk or a wide open J. When Russy sees a silver of open court, you know it's a dunk. When Kyrie gets someone 1 on 1, you know that dude is cooked. There's an air of inevitability.

D'Angelo is nice. But is Deluxe Kendall Marshall or Dre Miller with more range nice enough? This might be the greatest generation of point guards we've had at one time (I know the rules help).

your guys tried to hard to push the ball because that's the only way he can score...get a head of steam going in transition. he ain't go no damn moves.

Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance, Marc Gasol, Luke Walton - all 2nd rounders Mitch drafted. He's the best.

In response to Reply # 33


  

          

this kid seems real nice. I had seen his highlights before the draft because he was a guy people said the Lakers like.

But he definitely needs to stay in America and not play overseas this season. He'll play with us..and he's got a skill set that will contribute.

eventually.

once his frame goes from boy to man he'll be really hard to stop.

he really does look like someone cloned KD.

won't be shocked if he averages 20 or more and wins ROY.

Because he's right. Def a shot-maker with excellent vision on the PnR but he needs to be a lot crisper with his handle, getting into sets, and certainly defensively (using his hands way too much rather than his feet).

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Nance out their 1 hand glide dunkin like his pops...

I think Jabari Brown should make the squad too if we keep 14 players. He's got a solid offensive game...


but yeah... D'Angelo has obviously grown in confidence...we need him to be aggressive offensively...

I'm not mad at the way we're putting this together.... Not necessarily taking best player available as much as your putting together the best guys based on the pieces you need...

Randle better watch it because Nance Jr. is no joke...

In response to Reply # 140


  

          

Brown is a complete black-hole with no vision, hasn't changed his game at all. Augustin is showing a ton of determination and work ethic, rotates well defensively, and sets excellent screens.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Philly needed a versatile primary ball-handler and creator, we needed a versatile spacer and wing.

In response to Reply # 146


          

If Philly got Ingram, just would've made need for a PG even more pressing. If LA got Simmons, you probably have to move Randle and you still need a 3pt-shooting wing.

Philly still needs a PG, although maybe a different type of PG if Simmons is really LeBron 2.0...LA still needs (needed? Mozzy lol) a center...I guess, thinking about it, Ingram was the better fit for LA but Philly could've used either one.

This game is trash.

Do want to thank the Lakers for sparing us from d'angelo. If his shot is not falling, he's a mess. TJ McConnell is up all in his stuff so far and he can't do anything but chuck up prayers.

Simmons has no real offensive game yet...can't stretch the floor at all...and his great ball handling gets him great mid-range, and in the paint shots and he doesn't even look to shoot the ball...

I said long ago the Sixers should have taken Ingram...I'm glad they didn't.

Simmons' court vision is nuts....His teammates have to be more aware when he gets into the paint. Dude can deal. U can always work on your jumper (hundreds of players have had to improve in that department from Magic to Kidd to Bron).....What this Simmons kid has though you can't teach...Basketball instincts....He can rebound and run the break and find his man....He wasn't just finding open teammates. He knew exactly where they would be. That much is clear. And that's a great foundation.....He's a keeper....

He's seeing reads before they happen and he understands how much space a teammate actually needs to get a shot off (which isn't as much as you would think, if he sees any defender sagging off a teammate, he's making the pass crisply and in the shooter's catch zone)...the one part of his game which is very much like Lebron is the passing aspect.

It's clear as day. Any basketball fan who is not bullshitting can and should see that Simmons is special. It's way too soon to be passing hardcore judgement on any of these kids to tell u the truth. And the Duke kid in La La Land looks like a keeper...Very silky game on the offensive end...

I like both of those picks.....Gotta be patient with these young kids....

164. "Yup, excited to see their development "
In response to Reply # 161


  

          

Yesterday was really the first time I've seen Simmons play for a full game...his talent is obvious, and I've been saying his jumper can be fixed...but it's actually worse than I thought. No fluidity or touch, at all. Next summer will be key for him to retrain it.

Ingram...obviously needs to gain weight and adjust to the pace of the game. His offensive skillset is obvious but what really excites me is his defensive capability with his lateral movement, discipline, and length. I don't like comparisons bc I find them lazy but before the draft, I said I thought he'd be KD-like but tilted more towards the defensive end.

Both have such obvious special skills. They're both just special in different ways and *presently* weak in different ways. But both are obvious still way more special than not, and both will obviously continue to grow, and I think they'll both be All-Stars before it's all said and done.

165. "Ben doesn't really have an offensive repertoire yet..."
In response to Reply # 159


  

          

I mean he's got great handles and vision...but you see him get into the paint or within the 3 point line, and he's not looking to shoot the ball.... and if he's not dunking...even at the rack his offensive repertoire seems limited right now..

and ok..if they want him to be a point...in 2016 a point guard that can't stretch the floor at all with his outside shot...even if he's 6'10.... that's not exactly a paradigm shifter for a team... .Magic Johnson was tall, and when he entered the league didn't have the best outside shot..but Magic could score in the paint.... sometimes at will....at the same age that Ben Simmons is now...

I'm not saying he won't develop...i'm just saying I'm glad the Lakers have Ingram who already has some very specific skill sets developed offensively...

If they had Blake playing point forward as a rookie he would have looked just as uncomfortable when it came to scoring.

In response to Reply # 172


  

          

things...

Blake was a bit awkward...still is...but he finished, and had scoring moves when he got in the paint..awkward or not..

Simmons looks comfortable handling the ball..he looks comfortable on free open lane dunks...but the other parts of his offensive game aren't even awkward...they simply don't seem to be there....he doesn't look for shots that a 6'10 should be looking for...

at least at this point

He does "special" things out on the court. It takes a while for some players to gain an offensive repertoire....

Philly needed a player to run the team. I think this Simmons kid will be that player....He will be a triple double waiting to happen.

just like Ingram's is his weight. simmons doesn't have much of a jumper at all. both him and Ingram have glaring flaws. but they both also have obvious talent and either one would have been a great #1 pick.

In response to Reply # 190


  

          

... but from all the highlights I saw, weren't only two of those shots outside of the paint? And I thought at least three of them were layups/dunks.

His shooting will obviously improve, and he's showing that he already has the capacity when defenders sag off him like that to make elbow jumpers, which is obviously great news for Sixers fans.

I just don't think "online shot gurus" were pulling the "he's struggling to finish his shot attempts" card out of their asses all summer league long, and two or three made elbow jumpers is unlikely to convince them that the trend is in fact the anomaly. Not that he needs to be a perfect shooter from Day 1, and I agree that journalists are, as always, overreacting to Summer League.

(But now people will reply like I'm making this an Ingram/Simmons thing, which I'm not, as I said above, they'll both be really good, etc etc-- I was just asking if there were more than the two elbow jumpers, which were the only shots outside of the paint that I saw actually go in. All I saw were a few highlight packages.)

197. "The big thing was that he looking to shoot"
In response to Reply # 194


  

          

He was scared to shoot in the Lakers game. The coaches obviously told him, look, no matter what shoot. I think it's just going to have to be that way until he loses fear of shooting. Like, whole team runs wind sprints if you don't get 15 shots up.

But he hit a couple jumpers. Even the stuff in the lane, honestly, it was just good to see him go up strong and not pass too much.

Yeah, it'll definitely be important for him to keep his attempts high-- not to compare him to Lebron, but the Sixers *will* need him to carry a Bronesque workload his rookie year, so even if the percentages aren't ideal, the aggression will be key.

I know it's not a ingram/simmons thing. I'm with you. stats and number really don't do much for me in summer league. Too easy for guys to chase them.

Just locally every shot ben passed up was starting to make it a bigger thing.

191. "just watched the highlights....good to see him taking shots.."
In response to Reply # 187


  

          

He's got to knock those mid ranges down and he's got to more than just dunk inside the paint..


lots of people are making comparisons about Simmons... to me... he's a 3 or a 4.... If he can develop into a Scottie Pippen..then he could be a successful 3.... I see him as more of a 4...because his skillset would be more difficult to match up against if he's a 4..

either way..he's got to knock down shots....and take his looks in the paint...

he's not quick enough to play against good 1's and 2's (altho he could andre miller them and back 'em down, but that's not his game). i think he's best as a 3.

I mean, if the effort is there, he's going to make all defensive teams at whatever position he plays. The great reveal of summer league is that when he cares, dude has huge stopper potential. He's long and he hasn't been muscled once.

It's far more about looking at the skill-set bc that can actually translate over to real games. For DLO, looking for how sharp he is with his handle, how quickly he sets up the offense, and his defensive footwork.

First 2 games he was still getting himself into some really precarious and avoidable situations which resulted in a lot of stupid turnovers...he's had a lot more discretion tonight and then using his handle to attack players when he has the advantage.

Ben Simmons has always been the better player. It's just unfortunate he didn't have a better supporting cast.


He's going to have a better nba career than ingram. I just wanted to go on record saying it

He's just mad that actual Lakers fans aren't mad about Luke, mad about Ingram, and mad about adding veterans to mentor the kids the way he is.

One of those super sensitive college dudes who have an absurd attachment to anyone repping their alma mater.

LOL, see, this is where the "epitome of emotional stability and reason" thing comes in.
You’re not even a Lakers fan and yet here you are, irrationally and emotionally bitching about their coaching choice for no reason other than a guy who spent one year at a school you either attended or cheer for plays for them.

You absolutely refuse to spend a moment of critical thought on the reasons the guy was hired while falling back on generic missives.

Yet you want to talk shit about “Reason and emotional stability”….lol

>you hired a guy who assisted a guy who just blew a 3-1 lead in

…more reason and emotional stability I see. You’re basically folding your arms and kicking your feet like a child.

Lol. I’m certainly not, you people are fucking insane with that shit.

please point out what Luke Walton has done in his illustrious coaching career thus far, in order to get the keys to one of the best nba franchises ever at the age of 36!

thats all ive ever asked of laker fans and they never reply straight forward.

>…more reason and emotional stability I see. You’re

all im saying is byron scott shouldnt have been fired for luke walton. he tanked, like he was supposed do, and fed kobes massive gargantuan ego and let him go out with that 61 pt barrage.

he should have got one more year, with d'angelo, this years miss, randle, clarkson , & nance if the best option on the market was luke fucking walton.

ouch.


its actually really weird to me that you dont/wouldnt understand the attachment that comes with spending 4.5-5 years/$50k to $100k on a campus with the same people, forge life long friendships , sit in the same classes, same dorms, share in the same highs/lows, sit with future nba allstars/nfl pro bowlers in your economics/astronomy class, then get (good) jobs based on the degree of said university and then be proud when someone from the same university goes on to achieve success that very few see.

i guess if someone had a miserable college experience it would be lost on them. and if thats the case..im sorry.


off to dinner..the UES is lovely this time of year.

i EAGERLY wait your response.

/end sarcasm since people cant tell when im being sarcastic or not

Cool story. I'm pointing out his insufferable bitching about everything the Lakers have done this offseason.

Further, I defended D Lo last season when people were calling him a bust a month in.

In fact... people defend teams and players all the time.

Why should guru be treated any different in regard to Ingram?

Nor the Big Beignet.

Jaylen's got the aggressiveness and hustle that you want to see out of a young kid but he's got a lot to work on.

Yabusele looks like a below-the-rim player. He's young but he's got a ways to go and right now I'm hoping he might be as good as Brandon Bass.

At least, Rozier looked improved.

IN FOUR SUMMER LEAGUE GAMES.

a lot of what he does looks really promising. a lot of what he does he needs to change. let's see him w/ actual coaching and actual plays.

dude's got the aggression to get to the rim. he can learn to finish through contact.

In response to Reply # 260


          

The Summer League coach said that they were giving him too much out of timeouts and what not so they pared things down.

Yes, it's been a short time but all of the red flags have been proven to be legitimate red flags. Again, he hustles and is aggressive and by all accounts is a great kid but his inability to finish is worrisome.

I mean, yeah, it's the summer league but I feel like we should be able to discuss our first impressions in live semi-pro action.

it'll help when fouls matter more on defense, when he's gotten stronger, when he removes that hitch when he started drives, and when he's option #4 or #5 in the season (and later should be a higher option). His driving from the wing w/ Bradley and IT to kick it out to would be more effective than guys like James Young (but still good).

he's not gonna be great out of the box and he may never get the jumper he needs to be a star, but the complaining i've heard(not necessarily you) is a little excessive.

Boeheim is the anti-Calipari. Dudes all come out and need a year or two to figure out what the hell to do in the pro game and struggle to up their skillset to fill their role.

And I say this as a 'Cuse alum.

In response to Reply # 256

So does Boeheim get the credit that Fair's college teammates Waiters, MCW, Ennis, and Grant got to the league in a year or two and mostly have been getting minutes?

Cuse has first round picks in 5 straight years: Waiters, MCW, Ennis, McCullough, Richardson. With the exception of McCullough, not one of those guys was getting NBA talk coming out of high school or before their final college season. Yet they all got there quickly.

A lot of Calipari's recruits would be NBA straight out of high school if they could, so I don't know why you're bringing him up. He recruits on a whole different level.

In response to Reply # 262


          

Ennis was a five star recruit. MC-W was a top 25 guy.

When you're hanging your hat on Waiters, who can't find an offer in one of the most spendingest offseasons in NBA history, well, good luck with that.

Scouts often overhype our guys so there's that but it's always the same problems. Every year there's another Donte Greene - lanky tweener who never learned how to shoot or dribble all that well. Jerami Grant getting minutes on one of the worst teams in the NBA doesn't really change the fact that he is still a project.

I could only roll my eyes at anyone who said Malachi should go back to school. Like that would help him get better prepared for the NBA. He's kind of the best case scenario - go to 'Cuse, have the offense/zone mask any issues and strike while the hype is hot.

like a lot of Cal's guys either. Ennis was looked at as a 4 year college PG by many.

Cuse gets good(not usually the very top though)recruits with the measurables that scouts like, as they like to recruit those long players.

I bring up a guy like Grant because Fair was the better, more developed player(also older) when they were on the same team in college. The NBA likes what they like.

CJ Fair was the more "developed" player but still was a project, especially in terms of NBA skills. If Jerami had stayed two more years in 'Cuse, I'd bet he'd have the same flaws and fallen even farther in the draft. He got drafted because of athleticism and potential. Fair probably could have gone in the second round had he come out earlier. When he didn't get better his senior year, he was doomed.

That's the whole NBA draft, every year.

And they don't get much better or improve the skills that the NBA is looking for because it doesn't suit Boeheim's offense.

When it comes to player development, I'm just not wild about what Boeheim brings to the table.

He had every opportunity offensively as a senior....he was the "go to guy", and while he had a good year, he wasn't quite suited for that role and was more efficient as a Junior when he was a big piece rather than the main guy.

I think he got older and more comfortable with the offense but skillwise, I didn't think the growth was all that impressive.

i know me and RBO go back and forth about producing the best players and developing guys into service NBAers and stars and all that good stuff, but let me be clear...

we just talking trash.

syracuse don't get elite talent, so they aint producing elite NOTHING. don't put that on jim. he's a great coach, man. great program.

be impressed that he takes all those top 50-100 guys and gets a lot of them to the league.

and the top 25 guys he does get, they usually cash NBA checks.

the programs that produce the best talent are the ones that GET the best talent.

he does get those 50-100 guys into the league at a decent clip, but when he has a top recruit (save Melo, but do you really get credit for melo?) they disappoint. Coleman was top 25, so were Christmas, Ennis (well, he was #26 but cmon) and Waiters (MCW's career is pretty fucking weird). I'll give a pass on McCullough cuz of injury.

SMH.

Ennis got drafted first round after 1 year. Waiters got drafted 4th after two years. MCW got drafted 11th after 2 years. So what's the problem? They did better than expected based on recruiting rankings.

Because he started missing games due to injury his freshman year. Boeheim fault!

All those players got to the NBA(pretty quickly too), when that was nothing but a "possibility down the road" when they were recruited. None of them were already pros doing the forced college year.

See the second weekend of the tourney just once this decade.

Boeheim is a great college coach. But I think his system is lousy for pro skills. But that's not his job; his job is to win games now not help kids prepare for life in the NBA.

Teams not tryna see their rookies get hurt against D-league fringe players while playing with a team who'll only have 2-3 final roster teammates. I'm more interested in what he'll do in the pre-season with who'll be his actual teammates against actual opponents in a starting 5. For now have him work more on his J

He played in both leagues. Knocked off some rust. Next up is training camp and preseason.

I love zeke, but that was extra. Come to Philly he can sit courtside and watch him play real games. These last few games are for the Brandon Pauls of the world to earn a training camp invite.

299. "Sup with Ingram tho"
In response to Reply # 291


  

          

That's gonna sound petty and like I'm shitting on the dude but you know I actually want him to be great so it's not. I'm genuinely curious. Cause after the first game, he hasn't shown much other than that he needs to bulk up.

D"Lo is putting up 21/6/4 on 47% shooting. He SHOULD be one of the best players in Summer league so it's not that surprising. I've been ok with it mostly.

Ingram's putting up 10/4/1 on 32% shooting. That's bad.

300. "The numbers don't matter, it's about style of play "
In response to Reply # 299


  

          

DLo is playing with ridiculous tunnel vision and forcing far too often, highlighted by the 2nd half yesterday. He needs to be able to balance aggression and play-making, but I know Luke and staff will stress that and check him on it so I'm excited to see his progress in that regard for this season.

Ingram hasn't made his shots but his shot selection has been pretty dang good and he's making the immediate pass. Obviously he needs to bulk up bc he has trouble finishing against contact but his patience and understanding have been as expected, will fit perfectly into what Luke wants to do.

303. "nothing. support him like you supported The Snitch's bad FG %"
In response to Reply # 299


  

          


you don't have to worry about brandon just to be spiteful. anyone can see he's a plus defender and has a great IQ. his shot's just off. the shit that's wrong with the Snitch cannot be remedied by his shot falling. his ass is just not that good. y'all gon have to accept that shit soon enough. he slow. makes bad choices and he lazy.

don't be mad at me. i'm just saying what i'm seeing.

Again. I want him to be good. Obviously. I asked what's up with him cause I'm genuinely curious and LA2P answered. I haven't been able to watch outside of highlights due to work lately so miss me with al this shit dude.

306. "No point in even asking agenda guys"
In response to Reply # 304


  

          

Let alone this agenda guy; everything gets viewed through that same lens. This string highlights perhaps more so than any other...dude doesn't even have the wherewithal to realize that a Laker fan wishes nothing but greatness for Brandon and instead interprets it as spite. LOL, good grief.

In response to Reply # 306


  

          

"Cause after the first game, he hasn't shown much other than that he needs to bulk up. "

that's what was said. i ain't make him say it. if that's all he thinks BI has shown since the first game...oh well.

You act like I want him to suck in spite of DLo. I want them both to be amazing. Why would you think otherwise unless you're being sensitive? I asked you because you are the Duke guy and know these players more than I ever could.

325. "juxtaposing their numbers seemed to have an intent behind it"
In response to Reply # 315
Sat Jul-16-16 02:56 PM by Basaglia

  

          

i was talking about russell doing dumb shit and not looking much better than last season, other than his shot actually went in. you brought up BI outta thin air. i addressed what i felt was your intent--to slight BI--as directly and briefly as possible. yes, i read your first sentence, but it did not disarm me. it still seemed petty. if you were sincere, dogg...my bad.

i want them both to do well, too. i feel like i have no choice at this point. same as i wanted dion to act right and ball. it's like i have to watch the shit become a trainwreck to be proven "right." i ain't want that for the cavs and i don't want that with the lakers.

but, ryan...i know what i see, dogg. i don't have a good feeling about it.

i'mma just go 'head and shut the fuck up about russell, because LIKE DION, a LOT of the fanbase and media are absolutely determined to only see his potential and ignore any flaws in his game and mental makeup.

327. "Fair enough."
In response to Reply # 325


  

          

I'm in wait and see mode too. I see what you mean about DLo and agree with some of the criticisms, but have really only been able to watch highlights this summer league. Speaking of which, BI's highlights were great from last night. I truly hope they CAN play together but in my opinion - IF THEY CANNOT - neither has shown enough to know who would be the one to keep yet. That'd just be shortsighted at this point.

I truly did ask you sincerely. I'm glad to see you and LA2P pointing out the positives in Ingram's games that i haven't been able to see. I want these dudes to be the next great duo in the NBA so badly but we'll wait and see.

In response to Reply # 292


  

          

Healing time is usually 4-6 weeks. Should be ready to play by the start of training camp.

Obviously not ideal but I initially thought he had broken one his carpals (bones in the wrist) which would have potentially been a more concerning fracture.

In response to Reply # 295


  

          

You can't just go sky high regardless of situation, way too much risk. Last night, he literally caught the ball and went up to dunk without seeing what was between him and the basket...he hit the defender and came tumbling down, tried to brace himself...trauma to his hand.

Knew had a second opinion from our hand specialist but based on the force of his fall, I thought for certain it was a fracture. Obviously wrong, thankfully so.

funny how all these laker/russell fans are the same idiots that hated on kyrie for not racking up assists and playing hero ball can't recognize the same qualities in a guy with a tenth of kyrie's ability.

i KNEW brandon was gon ball when he became the focal point.

y'all muhfuckas might as well start working on some rappitty raps because i want that goddamned scrub away from my dogg the same way i wanted dion away from The Young Legend.

get russell the fuck away from my guy.

In response to Reply # 0
Fri Jul-15-16 11:16 PM by LA2Philly

  

          

He certainly has it all (except lbs, we know we know)....loved how many times we got him in the ball in the high post off action. Tons of confidence and what I love most is him being a willing passer (makes the right play every time, even on the final possession he gave the ball to AB instead of forcing something...who then proceeded to force a 3).

He and Nance are the two guys of the young core who will fit immediately into our motion system because they are such willing passers. Luke and staff definitely will instill that mindset into the rest as well but those two are already there.

314. "The coaching staff & their philosophy gives me hope"
In response to Reply # 313


  

          

Luke's entire philosophy (and his own game as well) is built on willingness to share the ball and make the right play every single time...I think he and the staff along with the vets we have surrounded them with (esp Deng) have the ability to get through to DLo, Randle, and Clarkson to make them understand how powerful that can be as a team...and once you start seeing results, it really reinforces that style of play, which then leads to wins, which then leads to transforming the culture of the team.

I've agreed with you on many of DLo's faults...he certainly has them and he needs a coach who will constantly and consistently call them out and work on them (and I think you even said in a recent post that this coaching stuff is going to call him on his shit)...I think Luke and the really smart staff he has hired around him are perfect for that job and leading that process. That's why I'm excited to see how these guys are performing in pre-season when they've had more than 4 practices with Luke and more than just a shell of the offense installed.

If you think DLo's faults are not ones you can change, then fair enough...I disagree. I've seen him be a willing passer, balance his passing with aggression, not relax off the ball; now he has a coach and staff who will constantly focus on bringing those aspects back to the forefront with methods that aren't off-putting or alienating.

In response to Reply # 314
Sat Jul-16-16 07:33 AM by Basaglia

  

          

I had to wait and complain for three years to get Waiters the fuck away from my dude. he had a solid first season and people really thought he was gon be something, but the deficiencies in his game didn't scare me half as much as his ATTITUDE. dion thought he was a star and he acted like it, throwing up bricks and doing dumb shit with disgusting swag. i see the same behavior in russell.

i just flat out don't like russell's vibe. he feels like a bullshitter and a clown to me. he says shit he thinks he should say (cysing his relationship with kobe and how much he was gonna learn from him). athletes who do that scare the shit outta me. he volunteered that shit so quick it seemed phony from jump. and you KNOW kobe can and DID detect it. that should make you nervous. he does silly shit like the whole thing with nick and then he just acted stupid about having ice in his veins in SUMMER LEAGUE. now, that last one, if he were a rookie, i'd be a lot more forgiving. but, dogg, all that bluster from a second year guy after the THIRD summer league game.

and let's be clear, it ain't like i been hatin on him from jump. i sincerely thought he'd be an all-star calibur player. not perennial, but i thought he'd be good. that changed by the break. i'm just over the dude. he really is like dion to me.

He averaged almost as many dimes as Russell did during their rookie years...from the off guard spot

There are def things that bother me (the celebration not being one of them, everyone was hype off that. Lakers SL draws 15k+, that game was sold out meaning 18k+ people) but I also know the right coaching staff can guide him to change some of those habits. That's why I'm excited to see his play after he's had extended time with Luke and the staff bc they get it when it comes to creating the right atmosphere and reinforcing certain behavior.

I really do believe DLo and BI can feed off each other and maximize each other's games.

And best believe, if some of those aspects don't change I'll be right there with you asking for him to get shipped out bc the only thing I care about is the team getting better.

it's not new.

but, that's MY GUY on your team. i'mma have an opinion about your team. period. i'm not gonna get into an emotional investment dick-measuring contest with laker fans, but suffice it to say i believe like my interest in BI's future is more urgent than y'all's interest in your team. BI has a finite window to be great. i want that greatness optimized. so if i see some duds on the roster that will hinder his success, i'm calling them shits out. all i'm saying is i see some duds. lakers are FAR away, dude. there is no lebron coming to speed up the process of becoming great for brandon. that's the kinda shit i'm thinking about when i'm looking at the players on the lakers roster. you think i want markelle fultz for a fuckin goof, dogg? no. i am completely serious. there will be some future STARS in this upcoming draft and the lakers might not have a damn pick. so, russell and randle GOTTA be as good as people think they are or else the lakers are starting over again a few years. all the while, BI is there getting used to LOSING, just like kyrie was getting used to LOSING and being so downtrodden from being in that environment that he let a muhfucka like jeff teague stop him from SCORING...ONE POINT!

http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/sports/2013/12/07/Kyrie-Irving-held-scoreless-as-Cavaliers-get-blasted-by-Hawks.html

i watched that game. as competitive as kyrie is the nigga ain't even wanna play that night. you know why? LOSING! DION! ALL THE DUMB SHIT ABOUT BUDDY BALL! so if a killer like kyrie can nearly be broken, the fuck think gon happen to brandon after a few years of losing and A Certain Player's goofy ass shenanigans? this shit ain't personal with your team, dogg. i just been here before.

so, you can just be mad i have an interest in your team. but, i know how this shit goes. players get chewed up and spat out, but the FRANCHISE will always be okay. especially one like the lakers. so, worry about your team and i'll worry about my guy. it ain't like i was bitching about ryan kelly's future with the lakers, because he don't have GREATNESS in him. brandon does. he's the best prospect the lakers have by a light year. so YOUR TEAM needs to get shit right for him. if i detect fuckery, i'm shitting on your front office, coaching staff and the players i don't like..

as far as i'm concerned, some posters on this board owe me an apology for partying while i was ringing the alarm for three years that chris grant and dion were ruining kyrie's career. joking...NOT joking. i was right. wasn't no overreacting. dion was THAT BAD. chris grant was THAT BAD.

lakers gon be around until they champions again and again and again. y'all gon be lakers fans 'til death. i got about 15 years, HOPEFULLY, to watch ingram be great. every year is critical to his development.

He will be a solid 3 and D guy for us off the bench. His jumper is always on target but the majority of his misses come off blatantly short.
