    Wouldn't really say 'it's cool' because....




    been hearing this s--- for years, the time for improvement is now..yeah of course I'll be patient with Lonzo, but Ingram, Randle and others need to step the f--- up. Luke needs to get more out of his guys too.

    *edit* although the tweet is a slight exaggeration...some of the guys have shown strides at times, but not consistently.

    Probably should have traded Randle instead of D-lo the way it's looking.

    Randle's a lot of energy and aggressive, but doesn't play smart at all and isn't really developing much. Plus they got Kuzma and Nance at the PF position. D-lo could have been SG with Lonzo at PG.

    Starting to worry that may be the case, especially if D-Lo has a breakout year while Ingram and Randle don't.

    We'll see though, too early to be completely losing hope lol..just hard to be optimistic based off recent seasons. Nance did do well tonight though.

    Really starting to worry bout Randle more than anyone, thought he'd be a double double machine consistently once he developed..instead he's now coming off the bench and still playing as wild as ever and making as many dumb plays. I'm not always huge on the plus/minus stat either, but tonight he was a -25, the worst on the team.

    Interesting take on why CP3 doesn’t fit Houston’s system.

    Tanking from game number 1 huh? d--- I like the commitment lol.

    Even for some of those awful Laker teams I usually waited at least 5 games or so, although I dunno why looking back on it now.

    Still early on Ingram but idk, something just seems off about the way he plays, like he's lacking confidence.

    Randle on the other hand is literally just a wrecking ball. All he can do well is take the ball to the basket. Take that away and he's basically useless. No jumper, subpar rebounding, and awful defensively. I'd trade him ASAP if I was Magic. Same with Clarkson.

    Lakers are gonna regret giving up on D-Lo, ESPECIALLY if they don't bring in a max FA this offseason.
    I'm at peace with it. Look at our starting lineup last night, Grant/Holiday/Zipser/Lauri/Lopez. Even with Lavine we'd be lucky to win 30 games.

    Smart move. Learning to accept the tank right away is the key to not having 10 years of your life taken off just as long as the tank isn't 10 years long like my Sixers

    He's the same exact player he was coming out of college. He's up for an extension in the off-season, I'd flip him now for whatever I could find.

    Honestly he's even horrible at that most of the time, and his decision making in those situations is awful. Lots of times he'll get the ball out by the 3 point line, just go charging towards the basket and it'll end up in either a turnover or an offensive foul which is a turnover anyways of course.

    He plays with a lot of energy, can get you a lot of double doubles but yeah he's not developing one bit so far and it's sad to see.

    Can't believe we traded Russell for a salary dump and kept Clarkson and Randle..Clarkson looked okay last night but all he does is s---t basically every chance he gets, if he's hot great..If he's not, then s--- we're screwed.

    I don't know man, I just can't believe we're THIS far into the d--- rebuild and still making no progress seemingly. Lonzo and Ingram need to step up fast before I go crazy over here lol.

    I think Lonzo will develop into a nice player. His playmaking will translate and he'll be a 10-15 point scoring triple double thread a lot of nights.

    Ingram still 50/50 for me. He was getting what he wanted last night for the most part, just couldn't knock his shots down.

    feel like we will make progress today its good if u think about get trashed by a vet team and then go against a weak suns team, they need way more motion on offense pass the ball around thats the big problem too many one on one situations for a team with this low of chemistry
