Lakers win how many games in 2017?

Postby 3Peatkb24 » Wed Aug 31, 2016 7:54 am

OK guys, August is over and our Roster is basically set so we know what we have with Players and Coaches. I want to see your early projections on wins/losses. Of course we can change our minds between now and opening day but I am curious to see what you guys think of now as the dog days of summer are coming to an end.

29 is my early choice, I keep flipflopping between 29 and 30 as I set my over/under at 29.5. I may go 30-32 before the season starts if I like what I see/hear about what is happening in practices and how Pre-season goes. If we even win 29 that is a 12 game improvement which is significant. My off season grades consist of:
Draft = A-, Ingram and Zubac. Ingram will be a SuperStar in 3 years IMO and Zubac could turn out to be a Good player but we don't know yet.
Coaching hire = A, Luke's resume speak for itself. Potentially will be a Great NBA HeadCoach
Free Agent pick ups/other offseason moves = C, the re-signing of Clarkson and signing of Deng keeps this at least Average - Both Good moves, re-signing Clarky was a common sense move though. Deng is a Solid Veteran player. Great moves was letting Roy go and kicking Sacre and Kelly to the curb but those were common sense moves as well. Still not big on the Mozgov signing but we needed a Center so it is what is. He should be better than Roy so that is a positive way to look at this but he is injury prone. Not sure what to make of the Yi signing yet? Grade would've been higher but we really didn't sign any big names or do anything earth shattering.
-I have an A- an A and a C which is pretty Good overall, that averages out to a B basically!

We will definitely win more than 17 :waaaaa: I would be happy with 30 and just seeing the guys improve and gain chemistry. Russell and Randle need to take the next step and be more consistent. Having a year under their belt is huge so I expect that and because of that 30 wins is a definite possibility. If Ingram just kills it right off the bat then we could win a few more than 30. I am looking at a ceiling of 33 wins realistically if everything goes right, I think the worse we could go is 25-57 assuming we stay healthy so I put the over/under at 29.5.

I am really hoping we win 30+ and start showing big improvement so more people will Post. It has been dead in here for over 2 months since the Finals were over. Craig occasionally gets on a roll with some great stuff, Ken chimes in a little on the Lakers Roster Thread, and Rev responds to some of my Posts on the Baseball/Football Thread's but that has been about it all summer. I miss Tate personally at least with him I had someone to debate with in the downtimes and he kept it interesting in here.

I think this will be the first season since 2013 that will be interesting to watch and be fun at times to watch. I will miss the hell out of Kobe but I haven't been this excited about a season in 3 years. Mainly because Russell and Randle now have experience, I love the Ingram pick, and bringing in Luke was huge.

Yeah that Ben Simmons kid is great too but you know what I really like Ingram. I am very cool with our pick. I liked what I seen out of Russell, Nance, and Zubac too during the Summer League games.

Philly does have talent but they are not a well-balanced team like The Lakers now are.

Philly is a mess actually. I can see them winning around 25 games mainly because of Simmons but not more. I think we have a chance at 30 and play in a tougher Conference so that says a lot.

Counting ALL of '17 - which includes their first several games next fall, I'd say . . . 42.
