THT SHOWIN OUT
Per Trudell
Vogel showing real optimism for @Thortontucker: “He continues to impress. The young man has a great attitude, a great spirit, comes to work every day with humility, and just goes out there and kicks people’s butts. He’s a heck of a talent, and he’s had a great two days here."
Vogel mentioned Gasol's ability to pass and shoot threes, Trezz's ability to finish in the pick and roll, Wes Matthews' shooting and Schröder's speed on defense and offense as standouts from the new guys so far. Says the latter will help stop the team from giving up threes.
Vogel, again pressed on load managing LeBron, says that "there is no doubt" that the main goal is to keep the Lakers "healthy and whole" going into the playoffs, but says that their identity is still to be "playing harder than their opponent every night" for the guys that play.
Frank says that he and LeBron will constantly re-evaluate how LeBron is feeling on "a day-to-day and week-to-week basis" about how much to let him rest.
"We've had preliminary conversations about that, but we're both sort of of the mindset to see how it plays out."

Quinn Cook Not Yet Available As Lakers Begin Training Camp Shorthanded
Quote:
The Los Angeles Lakers held their first team practice of training camp on Sunday, though not all members of the roster were on hand at the UCLA Health Training Center, including the returning Quinn Cook.
“He has to go through the protocols of six or seven days of testing from the time he signed. So he’ll be out for the first few days; I think he’s going to be cleared for Thursday’s practice,” head coach Frank Vogel said.

I don't like that. With so many new players on the team, they need to learn how to play with LeBron and AD. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

u want the guy going into 18th season to play a playoff game? come on man
they have 72 games + playoffs to figure playing together
Do you really think it's a good idea for LeBron to sit out all 4 preseason games? All he needs to do is play like 20 minutes in each game.
Plus, why does AD need "load management?" He's only 27.
I definitely think Lebron should not play a single minute of preseason.
u didn't see how the NFL players were getting injured with no preseason and no training? there is no need to hurry back anybody.
what's the point here?
Yes.
If the Lakers make it to the playoffs healthy and whole, as described by Vogel, I like their chances to repeat. This year's Lakers team is a high IQ group whose talents will shine in the playoffs. If they go into the playoffs injury-free, they will be competing for a championship regardless of their seeding.

exactly. all the players added are pros: Wes, Marc, Dennis and Trez.

I don't want to see any injuries (or covid) either, but the other side of the argument is that if they don't play any preseason games, their chances of getting injured go up.
Like I said, LeBron doesn't need to play much in the preseason. Play and develop chemistry with Dennis, Trez, Wes, Gasol, but take it easy. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

they have 72 games to do it. what is the rush? specially when they just won a chip 71days back?
I'm guessing the Clippers, Nuggets, Mavs, Nets, Celtics, Bucks, etc. will have their key guys play in the preseason, so we'll fall behind them in developing chemistry, and it could prevent us from getting a high seed.
If we don't get the first or at least the second seed, we'll have a tough first-round opponent, which means we'll have to play more games, which means more opportunities for injuries.
Gotta find that balance between playing hard and not tiring guys like LeBron out. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

I’m guessing there’s a reason you’re not an NBA coach coaching HOF caliber players a couple months removed from a championship.

Whoa, what's that supposed to mean? No one has to agree with me, and I could be wrong about this.
If LeBron doesn't play in any of these preseason games, I actually hope I'm wrong about this, but we'll see. Like I said, they should strike the right balance, and i think coach Vogel has also alluded to that. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

Zero reason for either to play a single PS second.
They should play diminished minutes into Feb. The roster is fine to cover them. DS and Trez can make up the difference. No problem with them missing occasional games either.
Our goal is to win 16 in the POs. That's it. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."
