re: How far away are the Lakers?

Russell is a team cancer Clarkson - Ingram - 180 pounds, will get demolished in the post and on defense Randle - undersized 4 mozgov - bench player

Russell - after one year you are writing him off as cancer? I say not yet. 13 pts 3 reb 3 assists per game means many NBA teams would like to have this 2nd year player with lots of upside.

Clarkson 15 pts 4 reb 2.4 ast are no laughing matter in the NBA.

Randle - he may be undersized, but he still averaged 11 pts and 10 reb a game. and now he will be paired with Luol Deng. He STILL shows potential.

Ingram. Yeah, and they said Durant was too light too. Will Ingram be a Durant, maybe not, but Ingram does have the potential to be a good to great player.

This is why I say that THIS SEASON is the season to judge what the Lakers have or not have. As a Lakers fan, I can look forward to seeing them try to look better for a change. Plus, glad Kobe is gone.
