We've been posting general Lakers talk in "Other NBA discussion" and elsewhere. If it's not related to a game day thread, let's try to post Lakers related discussion here.

Looks like we're playing the Pacers on January 19th sans Myles Turner. If we're healthy, it makes this game winnable.

Yeah he is likely out the whole West Coast trip. Pacers are still surprisingly playing well without him. They beat the Cavs and smoked the Suns in Phoenix last night without him. Sabonis will still be a handful, Pacers are a Playoff team at 23-20 and play hard everynight so we need to be ready. Also will we be healthy? Lonzo is dinged up a bit and not playing tonight at Memphis.

Just curious is it possible to change or merge "Other NBA discussion" here?
I noticed you posted in the other title as well. It's confusing right now!

I could just lose this, but this is for past, present and future LAKERS discussion only. I felt that the Lakers should be separated from the rest of the general NBA discussion. If people disagree, we can just stop posting here. Thoughts please.

The title's a bit long, but no I think this is good for Laker-only talk (outside of game day stuff) just as I created The Lonzo page for news and notes directly about him.

Ha ha I thought the Nuggets part was in deference to our elder statesman! All good. We will have plenty to discuss from here on in.

I'll change the topic title.

His long tenure with the Clippers probably didn't help to warrant a statue right away.
The Lakers is such a generous organization that they'll honor him with a statue at Staples.
Even though; he didn't play for Dr. Buss and got a championship ring the year after he retired
the Lakers.

A lot of Laker fans of the over-55 variety put Elgin over Kobe, Shaq and even Logo in their top 5 all-time. The stats seem to back him up, if you don't use championships as the deciding factor.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, Luke. Kobe was already he best player in the league at 22, winning his first back-to-backer. #Ocho

Kuzma helping us winning games with a lot of energy and confidence. I like his motivations, passions,
competitiveness on the court, etc. In three years, I like to see his body muscles build up like Ben Wallace.
Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, too.
