Lance is awesome! He comes in with the second unit and gives it life. The crowd gets into him. He must bother the other team. Is he going to make bad playes, yes! But I bet steph, Clay etc don't like playing against him |

No doubt about it! Svi is not ready and honesty who knows when he will be. Be a fan of the team to win not an individual player. Lance gives us a much better chance to win. Svi gives us no chance at this point. |

What a weird post, we have been dealing with players who have had issues in there life, do you not want Lance to succeed as a Laker? |
Not really, dude has basically straight up admitted nothing he says is serious, he is just here to essentially troll. His own words in another thread. |
Not my own words, your words, I have never used the word troll, that is a bastion for those who lack intelligent conversation. So you like guys who beat their girlfriends? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

This is far from being proven at this point. Thus far in pre-season, he's come in and provided some spark, but how often are his pull-up elbow jumpers going to fall throughout the season? |

Considering he's been working all summer on his shoot, as evienced by his summer workout videos and it's been falling in the preseason, you can be optimistic and hopeful that he's much improved rather than writing him off based off his past shooting when it wasn't something he put a lot of time in. |

I can’t believe fans aren’t rooting for the guy to succeed, he worked his butt off to prove the fans that he can make a Impact and all we have heard from fans is that he is a black hole and a ball stopper, it seems like fans don’t value players anymore unless they are putting up amazing stats, fans from the 80’s and 90’s will appreciate Lance more then modern fans do. |

Why be negative? He’s hitting his shot, providing a spark, playing with energy. Pull for the guy to succeed. I don’t understand some of you guys. If Lance plays well he helps this team a lot. |

We’re talking about succeeding as a player. Why bring up allegations of his personal life. We’re talking basketball and neither you or anyone else should be judgemental of his personal life. |

"Basically", "Essentially". And, yeah, basically, essentially what you said - want me to quote it? I quoted it in the FA thread for posterity's sake.

WEAK and hypocrotical for a guy who had advocated and begged for the signings of sketchy off the court characters like Jarrett Jack and Darren Collison.🤔 |

Lol, that's a funny question for those who have been here longer than since 2011.

Didn't mean it as a personal attack, nor did I mean it as a "did you watch the Lakers when Kobe was playing".
Just meant it as, even our franchise player had an alleged rape case, whether you believe it or not.
I personally don't look into players off the court too much, I'm a fan of the basketball players, their off court decisions don't really effect my stance. Otherwise I'd be a huge hypocrite cause Kobe is by far my favorite player of all time. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

^I appreciate that. And we should all try to keep these discussions basketball related. There was no reason for VLF to make that comment about beating a girlfriend, nor any reason to bring up Kobe in that context either. We're here to talk basketball and I hope we all can just do that. _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service

I'd rather see Lance then Svi right now. LBJ going to need some backup. Svi could be and is the future. I think he will be more ready next year. |

The quality of this thread has devolved to the level of Lance's play.
As long as he isn't ISOing and jacking long, contested 2s, I won't mind him. I like when he looks to make plays and get to the basket. Did a good job of that last night, I'm guessing the coaching staff talked to him about the bad shots. |

WTF?
This has nothing to do with me preferring Svi and thus failing to see all the good, allegedly, Lance brings to the table.
Lance should not be facilitating, and he probably won't, as Rondo/Zo/Bron will be on the floor at all times.
So what is he there for? He is not a shooter. He isn't really a defender. He is, essentially, a Harlem Globetrotter who got lost.
There may be immediate, extremely marginal, benefits from playing him over Svi. But if you take future into account, Svi should be playing as much as possible, because we need players like him. We really have little use of players like Lance. Especially if he's gonna go 29% on us this season.
Regardless, LeBron seems to like Svi to the point of mentoring him the entire game. The guy will play, eventually, I just don't want another stupid Randle-off-the-bench type of deal... for no apparent reason. |
