you kniw damn well jerami aint gonna miss playing the lakers

He is Klutch now...maybe Bron put in the call...

 

[DLF]

Confused about Bamba being out.

It’s been 4 games since the fight. He had a 4 game suspension.

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Caruso is the perfect guard to put next to D’lo. Ham needs to start then together next game



Oops, sorry wrong timeline

Im from that timeline, we win the chip.

He cant comeback unles its with LeBron so I can coin "LeBamba" when they connect on lobs.

[sohi 23]

The bucks game counted as “inactive” for Mo so it didn’t count towards his suspension.

 

[ill 949]

Gotta get this Blazer game even without Lebron. We got the deeper and more talented overall squad now and no weak links, fully expect a dub. LFG

his ball handling impressed the hell out of me

our new lakers

Is Jerami Grant playing tonight? Think he's coming off of a concussion from the last game.

 

[pmatic]

McMenamin reporting Bron is 50/50 tonight, but likely to play on Wednesday. Ham knew Bron had the foot issue and played him 40 minutes vs the Hornets (including the entire fourth) on the road trip, which irked those around the team.

Listed as questionable but seems like most players come and play when the Lakers are in town.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Grant will play and drop 30. Book it.

 

[sohi 23]

Doesn’t matter if Grant plays or not. We bout to beat the blazers ***.

Well that was stupid on our part. Should have listed him as active.

- league: He had a game in Orlando last night and you guys have a game in LA tonight. You have him as active?
- Rob: Yep! We're sending Air Force One to get him her immediately!
- league: But he hasn't even practi...
- Rob: AIR FORCE ONE!!!

Fun thing to think about

2013: Celtics trade a 2017 first in the KG/Pierce trade to the Nets
2017: DLo traded to the Nets for Brook Lopez and the pick that became Kyle Kuzma that belonged to the Celtics
2019: DLo gets traded to the Warriors for KD
2020: DLo gets traded to the Timberwolves for Wiggins and a 1st
2021: Kyle Kuzma traded to the Wizards for Westbrook
2022: Wolves trade 5 picks, a pick swap, Beverly, Vanderbilt, Beasley to try to maximize a Wolves core by adding Gobert
2022; Pat Bev gets cut, signs with the Lakers
2023: Wolves thinking they have to maximize Rudy trade DLo to the Lakers for Westbrook, and Utah sends the guys who they got for Rudy to the Lakers.
Pat Bev gets traded to the Magic for Mo Bamba
KD gets traded to Phoenix.


*Toss in that the Lakers end up with DLo in the draft because of the failed D12 trade with the Magic. Who also couldn’t maximize their draft haul and were still a lottery team 6 years later to draft Mo Bamba

25 games left. Lakers are 26-31

18-7 or better (44 wins plus) could probably take the 6th seed.

21-4 gets LA home court advantage in the 1st round

I like this team's chances to easily avoid the play in

I think at best we'll go 16-9.

I'm thinking 15-10 over the last 25.

FO ?
you know this "leak" came from Klutch

and since when does bron not manage his own minutes?

 

[grittyman]

@ FootGate

Lebron has more control of his minutes than Ham does…so if he wants to play extended minutes and push through pain then so be it.
