Adding Derozon and Horford will make this a contender.

As Pidge said above:

Russell
Derozan
Ingram
Randle
Horford or Whiteside or ??

Is a talent filled team.

The weak spot is Russell needs to develop his PG skills.
Otherwise it is all there.

WORKOUT VIDJA


Standing reach only 9' even? Regardless, still excited about Brandon's prospects for us.

Trying to inflate that vertical perhaps?


without shoes.. just had it measured by Sports Science at 9'1.5
varying shoe thickness would heavily influence standing reach's, so i guess the Lakers only want the accurate no shoe measurement

What about Ingram impresses Walton most? "His ability to make reads on the court defensively is one of the favorite things I’ve seen him do"


this is exactly what GT said as well i believe

Good. Let's hope they don't push the weight issue.

Got that kobe Bryant rookie crossover down. I like!

ESPN sucks. They are saying that DLO will be unable to play with Ingram, that Ingram needs to control the ball and DLO should be traded.

This seems like BS to me, anyone else?


AGREED, they also dissed Ben Simmons by doing a 20 sec interview then cutting to his dad for a minute. That was this kids moment & they stole it from him. ESPN has gone down hill major including football...


They need to keep people watching. ESPN knows that after the first couple of people people watching the draft will drop off. Unless PG13 or better is walking through the door, Russell isn't going anywhere. I don't know where Wilbon, Williams, and ESPN gets their information from, but it's faulty as hell.

So excited for this new direction we're taking.

Welcome Brandon I loved your interview.

Media: "what do you think you can bring to the Lakers in your first year?'

Ingram: "Leadership."

Sixers got the best talent...We got the best winner.

If Luke has some say in personnel decisions, Ingram isn't getting traded anytime soon. Dude is RAVING about him.

What an epic dinner that must have been. I mean just a couple of kids now, but can you imagine looking back in 5-10 years and think what that dinner was the spark of? Maybe 2-3 rings?
