Imagine Ingram with Kobe's footwork

I agree with you, but imagine <insert name of any player> with Kobe's footwork.

As an aside, Lonzo I get the footwork issues since he trained his whole life with his dad who is Byron Scott mixed with Press Maravich, but Ingram's dad was a legit coach. It's a little strange. Maybe BI's late growth spurt delayed his footwork as he was getting comfortable with the longer limbs back in high school.


It's interesting you mention that. I've always felt that BI isn't comfortable with his physical gifts, or hasn't learned to maximize them yet. I'm not hating though, it's just part of the learning curve I suppose.

If we land Bron and PG.. I'm thinking their mentorship would really help Ingram grow as a player. Could be looking at a real monster by the end of next season.

I took in a Nets game while visiting friends in NYC a few months back and for $100 had a seat pretty close to the Nets bench. All I can say is thank the lord we got rid of Russell. This dude must have ADD because he never paid attention to the coach during timeouts or seem engaged. It was ridiculous no one yelled at him.

What was he doing when he wasn't listening?

There's a DLo bashing thread in the General forum, but which game did you attend?

Riding the warm bike in one instance. Then chatting and joking with trainer in another. He was never listening to the coach and the funny part this was with Sean Marks and Trajan Langdon standing in the tunnel no more then 15-20 ft away.

The DLO In Memoriam thread was locked unfortunately. People still need a place to let it all out

I think we gotta hope that Lebron doesn't take the max.
But if he does, I hope we only get one of the Lebron or PG.

I don't know how much you can take from this, seems like a fairly common thing to see from NBA players.

Wow, even Bulls fan thinks BI is good enough not to be traded.
I wonder what people outside of Lakers fans really think of BI.
From what I've been hearing in the media, it's a totally different take from what it was from year 1. Year 1, people were down on him. But this year, I hear a lot of "He's good. He's improved a lot."

Nice. Can someone bust out the measuring tape. Has his legs gotten thicker?
One advice, BI: change that hair! Remember what happen to Russell.

It would be absolutely stupid to trade any of BI, Lonzo, Kuzma or even Hart before you see how they look for 20-30 games next season. It’s not like they’ll be less valuable at that point.

It would also be stupid to let Randle walk over draft picks or young guys not mentioned above. What he brings to this team cannot be replaced by anything available this offseason and he will be a important part of a deep playoff run.

BI, get those 3 pointers going this summer. Show LBJ that you can be a reliable shooter and join the dynasty!
