Well Ball is a PG and Ingram isn’t |
Are harden, greek freak, simmons PG?
if no, then why did their coach start them at PG
if yes, What makes them PG? |
So you would rather have Ingram at PG than Lonzo? |
He actually would. He hates Lonzo. |

Fixed. There’s a reason the numbers show he’s poor as a primary creator and great when he’s not. And it’s not that the numbers are bias. | I guess people are okay with flat out ignoring the fact that Ingram (and the team!) played extremely well when given the opportunity to actually play point |
And you are flat out ignoring the very small sample size. Ingram can be a good player, I don’t get the trend of trying to make players something they aren’t. Ingram was put at point first because he disappeared on offense when he didn’t have the ball and secondly because Lonzo was hurt and we had D League backups. If something happens to Lonzo we now have Rondo and Hart. Now Ingram as a perimeter creator sounds nice. Just as long as he learns not to hold the ball too long. |
Seriously? You're going to try and put Hart there over Ingram? Obviously Rondo is head and shoulders the best option at back up point, but Hart is no where no the level Point Guard the BI is. |

Because what always, throughout the history of the game, defined PGs is their ability to score and shoot well. Not, you know, to run the team...

Like Magic said “Whoever gets the rebound we are running”. Last year it was more get the ball to Lonzo. I’ll be surprise if lonzo gets more than 20mpg and you guys will say I’m a hater blah blah blah but lets wait until the season starts before you call me all that. Maybe just maybe I’m right. |

BI had a pretty terrible year 1 and then really improved year 2.
One would think that Lonzo should similarly be given the benefit of doubt in terms of improving, as he managed to put up better overall stats than BI did year 1. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

All of our high pick young guys have really improved in year 2. DLo was even a good amount better, looking at lineup splits(with no talent next to him)
Julius improved and as well in year 3.
Improvement is real. I think it’s real for any talented player, so our lower picks should improve a good amount as well |

Yeah. That's why you rarely see the Most Improved award go to 2nd year players; it's implicitly understood they will have vast improvement from year 1-2. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

In my opinion, based on everything I know about the Lakers offense, Luke Walton, Magic Johnson, Lonzo Ball and Lebron James I'm about 95% sure you're completely incorrect.
I'll give you the 5% cause anything can happen, but damn. It's like people don't understand that despite everything that happened in Lonzo Ball's rookie season, he still ended up as our most impactful player overall. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

If you don’t know, you’re going to hate Zo for his entire career because that’s what he does. That lineup you threw out there will have success, it will also turn into LeBron ball most of the time(not necessarily a bad thing) without a PG who knows how to “run the team” on the floor.
You can have a player running the team and still say “whoever gets the rebound we are running”. Those aren’t contradictory concepts. |

I swear ever since Jimchak was let go, it's like he doesn't even watch us anymore. He reads a little to stay relevant then makes up asinine arguments just to get us talking.
Funny thing is, he used to be one of my favorite posters. He actually provided in depth thought provoking inpute. |

I think the argument is that Lebron is the de facto PG on this team, meaning that the nominal PG position can be best filled with a low usage 3&D guy like Hart. I think. _________________ Under New Management |

Lebron, Lonzo, Rondo, and Ingram are our best playmakers and should be the only players running the point for the most part. Hart is more of a SG, solid shooter with good defense. |

Well, it's like Kobe and Fisher. Fisher defended PGs, but it was Kobe initiating on offense while DFish played more like a SG.e _________________ Under New Management |

Likely Hart and Ingram will be ending games with Hart guarding the opposing PG. And I agree, Lebron will likely have the ball in his hands on offense with Hart spotting up. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

He does seem a lot more charismatic/personable in his Mason & Ireland interview than he has in past seasons. Seems like he's coming out of his shell a bit. |

that happens when you're a small town guy thrust into Hollywood at 19..21 finally coming into his own a bit --- coincides with more confidence in his game |

Do you really believe they need Lonzo to run anything for them?
Like Magic said “Whoever gets the rebound we are running”. Last year it was more get the ball to Lonzo. I’ll be surprise if lonzo gets more than 20mpg and you guys will say I’m a hater blah blah blah but lets wait until the season starts before you call me all that. Maybe just maybe I’m right. |
In my opinion, based on everything I know about the Lakers offense, Luke Walton, Magic Johnson, Lonzo Ball and Lebron James I'm about 95% sure you're completely incorrect.
I'll give you the 5% cause anything can happen, but damn. It's like people don't understand that despite everything that happened in Lonzo Ball's rookie season, he still ended up as our most impactful player overall. | they are looking at box score stats and highlights. and to be honest they need more points in the ppg category and a higher 3pt% to give any credit. otherwise the average fan can't see what you're talking about.
Most people dont know enough about the game to realize that the manner in which lonzo gets rid of the ball QUICKLY is almost unheard of. it is a coach's and a teammates dream come true. The entire team including bron and rondo will love to play with lonzo. because unlike those type of players zo doesnt need to pound the ball a lot in order to hit them for solid passes when they are open. those guys are a different type of facilitator. they take a bit of time to assess the defense then dribble here or there to set things up. zo gets his assist numbers but he could easily have more if he played like a traditional pound it floor general. but he doesnt. he gets more hockey assists than anyone i have ever seen start at pg. thats because he gets rid of it so quickly. if he sees a teammate has a better angle them him. he wont dribble to get the better angle. he will pass it to said teammate to make that extra pass. again that is a coach's dream and a teammates dream. you trust me enough to allow me the chance to make a decision. this is the one knock on Cp3 some of his old teammates had with him even though he makes guys look great when playing with them. some of them wish they had more chances to make decisions on their own.
Zo gives his entire team a chance to have higher IQ's vs just doing all the brain work for them then perfectly feeding them. we are have a team full of good floor generals to begin with. with zo's getting rid of it style. man o man this is gonna be goooooood. |

that happens when you're a small town guy thrust into Hollywood at 19..21 finally coming into his own a bit --- coincides with more confidence in his game |
After seeing DLO, JC, Nance, Jules all get traded or renounced, I think some of the young guys still feel like they're walking on egg shells. Can't imagine how much pressure it must be to feel like you may be next (even though the FO has praised BI a lot). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |
