@ BigGame Also would like to remind you that you said GT wasn't a reliable source, in regards to Ingram working hard.

Were we vicious when we defended him against that statement?

but man its crazy how young Ingram is, he is still just 20 years old. and just turns 21 in September. Then factor in his current production in year 2, and his tremendous rate of growth/development.

ingram is a year younger than Donovan Mitchell, Simmons, and jayelin brown

7 months younger than josh Jackson (who will turn 22 during the season)

Ingram is still the same age as Tatum (6 months difference)

man, I just think its crazy, the media/fan perception, in terms of trade talks for a star player like kawhi. from the boston side, jayelin brown and Tatum is absolutely untouchable, and if just one of them was on the table, the spurs would take that offer and run. then the rest of the media/fans, nods along, thinking yup that makes sense

now onto the lakers, people say we would have to give up a minimum of Ingram and kuzma, because Ingram isn't nearly enough, and even than the spurs would take it begrudgingly and would need sweetners.like hart and picks

Sorry for the rant, just something that always irked me, mostly when you factor ingram's age, elite length, current production, and rate of development/work ethic. people talk as if brown is this sure-fire can't miss star prospect, while Ingram is just this kinda meh, maybe a rotation/starter level prospect

Rant over


Yeah, the media is laughing that we won’t give up Ingram up for Kawhi. I’m sorry, but Ingram will be a serious regret if he’s anywhere near his potential. And I think the FO is well aware of that.

That said, I do think Zo gets lost in the shuffle a bit, because of his offensive obstacles. I definitely see him as a starter, but I'm glad he has Rondo there to mentor him, and push him to be better.


That's correct, they are not a stand alone indicator. But what about when almost all of the indicators point in the same direction?

Drunk Lebron James in Funky $500 shorts stood up and gave BI a hug. That pretty much says it all right there.

Man, is Lonzo criminally underrated around here. The team was better with him on the court vs. off of it to a greater extent than any other player in the rotation last season (+1.4 points per 100 possessions). By comparison, Ingram had the worst differential. (-3.0 points per 100 possessions)

There are a dozen other stats that illustrate the same thing. Lonzo already plays winning basketball, man.


Rondo starting over Lonzo is not about him not being a good player. I am a fan. My suggestion is based off not rushing him back after knee surgery. Even with his sometimes jumper and poor finishes at the rim ...I know the positive impact he has on our team, GT. HE has the "gift" the gift that Kidd, Magic, Lebron, Larry and of course Magic had. wont do us any good if he is hurt though. Why would we rush back a player who was injured at the end of his UCLA run and his rookie year as well?

For this Laker team how we finish the year is more important than how we start it. That is why I said "early" in the post you quoted. IF hart and Especially Lonzo prove they deserve to start, they will or at least should.

Luke made Randle earn a starting spot why shouldn't Lonzo, Kuzma and Hart be treated the same?

Only sure starter besides Lebron should be Ingram.

Why shouldn't Ingram be treated the same? The notion that Ingram has earned a starting spot while others - especially Lonzo - haven't is difficult to argue IMO, both statistically and in terms of game tape.

@GT In spite of all of those numbers you posted.. there aren't too many analysts that would value Ball over Kuz or Ingram. I've yet to hear or see a single article where an analyst or pundit would list Ball above those two.

I do understand that not all tv and print analysts are credible, but many are.. and many have actually played at a professional level. Are they all wrong?

I do believe Ball is undervalued, but I can understand why Kuz, and Ingram are perceived to have more value.

Also when I put Lonzo as the backup ...I implied if he outplays Rondo and wins the starting job that would be ideal. That means he is healthy and has shown enough to Luke that him starting over Rondo gives us the best chance to win.

again I know you used my message to get that off your chest but I am a Bruin Alumni I have more invested in Lonzo than most of this board. I just want him healthy which he hasn't been since before the Kentucky game in the NCAA's.

I would be okay with that too but I won't lie some of it is "need". We really need a big year from Ingram. Some of it is because Lebron needs an elite "wingman" to alleviate pressure. Besides we dont have another "true" SF on the roster. Kuzma shoed he can play the role well when Ingram was out but he was most effective as a combo forward. Small ball PF/Big lineup SF.

*edited for size*


Isn't Ball's statistical edge a result of him playing an integral position with a lot of ballhandling/passing? I do agree though that he's better than people think and more impactful.

What is the mentality of BI versus ZO.

Both are extremely talented and the future of the team. Both will probably improve a lot his season. Zo may not make quite as big a leap in the beginning of the season as he is limited by the injury.

Both guys need to stay healthy. Their games compliment each other and Lebron. We should all be excited to have them both along with Hart and Kuzma too. If you want to complain it should be about not retaining Randle who played better than any of the other young guys.

Careful, the Ingram crowd has been vicious lately.

LaVar: Zo is better than Steph!

Everyone else: That is absurd.

LaVar: You is just a sensitive Steph fan!

If you haven't figured it out, you're LaVar in this exchange.


Comparing what I say about Ingram to that proves just how wrong you are. Regardless...

That's an outright lie.. we call you out on ridiculous takes. I wouldn't characterize that as vicious.

Yes. He’s very knowledgeable about the game but not an insider by his own admission. It’s vicious when I get called an idiot for having a differing opinion and when I get singled out and ganged up on. Don’t worry, I can handle it.

Let's not conflate, or muddle the argument. He said he wasn't an insider, we both know that has nothing to do with him saying Ingram worked hard, let's not pretend like you believe those two things are related. They clearly aren't. So yes, it was an absurd thing to say.

I'm not an insider in terms of BREAKING NEWS or anything, but I am at the facility as often as any media member, so I can at least speak to who's there working on their games after practice. Ingram certainly does that, although I don't think his work ethic is considered to be remarkable relative to the other young guys. I think they're all perceived around the facility as hard workers.

Data would have suggested Russell was a better prospect than Ingram, yet no one would have told you he was. Maybe a few outside of LG.


It remains to be seen if this is one of those instances, but the consensus of analysts are wrong on a pretty regular basis, including former players. The people who I listen to are in and around the team, and I know for a fact that the organization's opinion of Lonzo is much higher than media or fan perception, and even more so for Kuzma.

I can also tell you that the media who cover the Lakers specifically ADORE Ingram.

I think Ingram is a great prospect. 2nd best prospect on the team. I don’t think there is any proof he’s the hardest worker on the team and I poorly worded a statement saying that one time. Then I’ve been ridiculed and called names ever since. I also said he hasn’t been a positive impact over the course of a season yet. That’s a fact. Quite frankly, the lengths people go to on here to twist my words regarding Ingram and to devalue my basketball opinion is sad. Me thinking less of Ingram than you all shouldn’t bother you so much. I’m not a hater. I don’t think he doesn’t work hard. I just don’t think he’s an outlier hard worker or a future superstar. Totally fair takes.
