When was the last time we had even a good preseason? 2020-21? Which was over 5 years ago? Can all the doomers chill out until the start of opening night? Remember, we basically have an entirely new team. So, I'm pretty sure we'll be just fine.

A lot of people saying he's a great candidate for 6thman of the year, but from seeing him play, he seems to be aiming a little higher than that.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the Mavs waiving Cisse and us being able to therefore claim him off waivers, but unless I’m missing something it feels like the sixers would just use their higher waiver priority to snatch him every time? Am I missing something?

Tonight’s Lakers game was the only time this preseason that Walker Kessler, Austin Reaves, and Luka Dončić played together. The result was mixed, with more questions than answers regarding the starting lineup and optimal rotations.

Pregame, JJ Redick discussed the process regarding finding the best lineups.

“I think you’re looking for balance in lineups, and you’re looking for players that complement and fit each other,” Redick said pregame. “He’s [Grimes] going to start a lot of games for us; that’s just the reality of it. I don’t know who our base starting group is yet.”

Do not have much to say other than the fact that I am SO excited to finally have a legit, starting caliber center after seeing DA, Hayes, Koloko, Len, etc play after AD was traded

Imagine you had a coworker who was decent at his job but not really what the team needs. Everybody knows he won’t be there long, but they wanna try to make the most of hi strengths while he’s there, encouraging him (crunk juice, etc).

Upper management realizes they have an (risky, but reasonable upside) opportunity to get off of him before he’s put into a situation that is objectively better for everyone involved but likely won’t go over well with him (becoming a 1st overall pick, who believes he’s a #1 overall pick but is now a backup center).

Worst case scenario you got 2 picks to try and fix some of your problems

Hope they do, it would be nice to see another dose of Kessler and checking out Sexton in the rotation. Sexton looked good in practice yesterday although did not see him in 5vs5.

We've seen some brand new offense from the Lakers!

Through 4 preseason games we've seen plenty of familiar entry concepts from LA (Away, Delay, etc.).

Flare entries have been the new addition, flowing to a variety of P&R/DHO attacks.

Here's all LA showed in the 19 plays this was used so far!

This is for tonight’s Nuggets game. Bummed that I couldn’t get our moment recorded during the halftime fan cam segment … anyone know of a way to obtain the footage?

Lakers basketball is back! Talk about whatever you want.
