I will miss Ingram for sure. IMO the biggest talent of this group.
I see him as the potential superstar in the league.
Hart is second . My favorite player when he was here. I hope in the future we will be able to bring him back.
Lonzo. He is special there is not Q about that but just too many flaws in his game and inconsistent as hell. Hope he will flourish and stay healthy.
I wish them all the best and I hope they will reach potential they have.
Good luck guys.  |

business and not a personal decision.
I'll miss those good kids.
If AD misses 20 to 30 games, we're in a worse position then last season.
Hope we strike out in free agency (shooters, shooters and more shooters)

Ball missed 35 games last season, Ingram missed 30 games.

I reached out to all three young guys to thank them for their hard work and professionalism. I think we as Laker fans should root for them as long as they are NOT playing the Lakers or them winning a game that impacts playoff seeding vs a rival of ours.
I know its a natural tendency to root for failure hope to not regret letting go someone but I was happy for randle and Russell last year.
I do think some of us here have overrated some of the guys we have let go Lopez/Jules/Dloading/Nance Jr./Clarkson ... but I get it we all wanted them to realize their potential. |

When we let go of Van Exel and Jones I was despondent. But then that whole Shaq/Kobe team finally shaped up...

LaVar is hilarious on FT right now
He's hyping up New Orleans, "The writing on Lonzo's new shirt he gonna wear, it said NO - L.A. That's exactly what I wanted to do, the best team he's going to play on is New Orleans!"

They will be a fun fast break team. But half court?
That lack of shooting that haunted us will be the same there. Also, BI will want the ball in his hands and you have ZO/Zion/Jrue there too.

Same here. I haven't felt like this since Eddie was traded. |

Their core is young enough that they don't have to figure this all out this coming season. That said, Zion will be positioned to be the face of the franchise so that sets the hierarchy. That said, Zo is quick to give the ball up and Zion looks like he'll be the ultimate finisher. If BI continues to develop, he could be a good bail out guy to manufacture some offense if the fast break fails. Also, the Zo-Holiday backcourt will be one of the best defensive backcourts in the NBA, which should help them get out in transition. |

| Bye, don't let the door hit you on the way. Never made the playoffs so never to be remembered only as the dark years. During their time we were the clippers of old. I expected more but got nothing. Adios |

TBH, if i'm NOP (unsure if they can) but i'd have already called all exec's to offer Zo + #4 for a proven starting PG.
Why gamble with another pick and 2 injured kids. Let someone else take a gamble while i get a proven pairing for zion to develop with that creates spacing for him also.

Jrue Holiday is going to be running the offense for now. Count on it.
I'm interested in seeing Zo play next season. Everyone, including Lavar, predicting him and Zion running up and down the floor catching lobs for dunks. We had the same vision last season. When we were able to run, Zo looked great. When we weren't running he didn't except on those rare occasions when he was hot from the perimeter.
I look at the Pels current roster and wonder who's gonna get the defensive stops and rebounds to start those fastbreaks. Their three best rebounders were AD, Julius and Mirotic. Two of them are gone and other is on the way out. Zion will help but that was over 30 rebs/gm they lost. The paint is going to be an open highway now that AD is gone. At 6'7", Zion's not going to fill that void.

I wish Lonzo, Hart and Ingram best of luck wherever they go, as long as it's not Boston or OKC. NO is going to be a very fun team to watch for a while.
LBJ/AD - heckuva combo. I'll miss the young core, which is now Kyle Kuzma, but LBJ/AD is pretty hard to ignore, that's a pretty good start on a title contender right now.
One thing I won't miss is Lavar Ball. I hope he moves to New Orleans. |

There were differences to those 2 scenarios but I hear you.

I hope the best for all three. I rooted for Russell when he wasn't playing the Lakers. Rooted for Randle too. Guys you don't root for...Dwight Howard, Van Exel and his Cancun rant. Guys that are idiots or burn the franchise are dead to me. But guys that got traded to hopefully improve the team will definitely root for.
Ingram in particular has some talent. Yet to see it consistently but hopefully without LBJ he'll be more comfortable. Zo never saw any fire or consistency. Perhaps he brings it every game in NO but we'll see. |
