I hope the thread we’re starting 1 year from today is: “Lester Earl was right”

I sincerely hope so. I’m specifically talking about Ball and Ingram being any good.

I hope Lester’s fight for those two guys is 100% on the money.

Lester: can’t wait to apologize to you and say I was wrong.

I’d like to be on record as an Ingram guy and a Ball optimist

Same. I think scenery is a super underrated element to this and these two are going to thrive.

I'm a ball fan and have come around on Ingram the past few weeks. Still like Tatum more but I like him

Ball is a slightly better Michael Carter Williams. Ingram smokes too much chronic for his blood clots.

I've had little problem with Ingram besides the clot

Ball is excellent defensively and a prodigy in passing but god I hope he somehow gets better shooting

You should wait at least a few more days to see if Ball is actually still on this team.

I’d really like Ingram if he didn’t have the clot


I will never like Lonzo Ball

Sure. But I'll be on the record saying I don't believe either is a core piece in our future success

You just don’t usually see the flashes you do out of players their age & then see the player flop. Both will improve shooting.

Ingram has really turned into a guy that can get points at all levels. Can get to the line.

Ball is a good perimeter defender and obviously gifted with the ball in his hand. Remind yourself that he did not have an off-season last year; got his knee cleaned up.

The Pels got enough got great insurance in this deal. All these pieces won’t hit, but they got enough to where there is no doubt a few will. All you can really do is mitigate risk in a deal like this & I think they accomplished that.

I really think that Ball is going to look good in Gentry's system. The team is going to run like crazy, and they are going to be very fun to watch.

I really like Ingram. If he can start hitting from deep just a little more regularly and keep getting to the line, he's a going to be great. Like his handle, like his defensive ability.

I like Lonzo. Just a lot less confident in his shot. But he's going to be a good player. Him running a break with Zion will be fun to watch

If Lonzo didn’t have his dad and hit 70%+ from the stripe I’d like him a lot. But he does and he doesn’t.
