Ball and Ingram were not getting resigned once Davis became available. They are good players but neither has shown superstar quality so moving them made sense


yup this is facts

I like Zo and Bi, the potential is there, but nothing about them YET says they are going to be A list all stars.

Are you REALLY saying that even thinking about winning a playoff series 3 or more years from now is a bridge too far?


It's a bit much for draft night smack talk, yes. Much as, again, I would revel in the Pelpocalypse meting out postseason heartbreak upon one of the 00's Sultans of the West.

Lakers are one of the most storied franchises ever (shut the frick up, WCA, I swear to God I'm just trying to make a fricking point here. The things I do...), and they haven't fricking sniffed a playoff series win in eons. Pels have wallowed in mediocrity and are hanging their hopes on an unproven youngster and lakers castoffs in an unforgiving conference. Lakers are pinning theirs on James/AD.

It's going to be hell for y'all to just make the postseason, much less meet up, much LESS start saying "when we knock LA out of the playoffs..." My man, y'all will have a ton of things to worry about just making it to the dance, and if LA happens to be waiting for y'all, they'll have figured something out, too. Something that for damn sure would be up to the challenge of y'all's core.

So don't get carried away. Unless you want to troll. Which is fun, too. But pick one

Ingram is borderline. Still don't really trust Ball. He could be a few steps away, or he could be what he is at this point.

Honestly it's telling (showing my bias here) that ACFresh is still there.

Yeah this stuff just does not matter much going forward given who is running each franchise. Sure they can get a couple big stars but do you think the Laker brain trust can fill out that roster with the depth they will need? Now look at David Griffin and Trajan Langdon.

Again I’m not calling a Pelicans title run. I’m just saying that a few years from now we will be better than 1 franchise. I’m not even saying now.

I gave you my position and then supported it with actual reasoning and this is all you have?

Should I bring up LBJ’s career minutes total or is that off limits here too?

I guess it depends on what you mean by the word troll.

In the sense that I was trying to provoke Laker fans, sure.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t believe it’s going to happen, because I do.


Since this has been ignored it clarifies for us WCA won’t respond because I put forth an opinion he doesn’t like, not because of any high minded “won’t respond to trolls” mumbo jumbo

You know if you really do know that much more than me you could have shut me up with actual basketball discussion like 40 minutes ago.

But you don’t so you can’t.

Yes. You have much to learn. Franchise history is a cloying thing.

Do I really need to list for you all the pro franchises, basketball included, that either had never won a title after decades in existence, or went through extremely long droughts, yet managed to turn it around? It’s happened a lot.

Okay so you don’t care to actually analyze the situations of either team we’re talking about? And I’m the one who is off track here?

Look, I really dislike Lebron and think AD is a puppet for Crack Head Rich Paul...but to think they arent making the playoffs is lunacy.

For sure. That Laker fans seem to want to lump me in with these takes is patently absurd.

This is what I don't understand. They didn't want Ball or Ingram, now they think they are going to own the league in a few years.
