I'm still salty about losing Lou though because of what we got in return for him.


And Lou is still not a starter

Randle is on the Knicks who are 0-2.
Bryant, Bonga, and Wagner are on the Wizards who are 1-1.
Hart, Ingram, and Lonzo are on the Pelicans who are 0-2.
D'anglelo is on the Warriors who are 0-1.
Zubac is on the Clippers who are 2-0.

It is still early in the season but I would be missing these players more if they were leading their teams to strong records. Also, Zubac is only averaging 14 mins per game (although, in fairness, in those 14 minutes Zubac has been very good).

All nice players that I like. BI and D'Lo have some All-Star games in their future. None are franchise/MVP level talent, though, so I'm not too bummed about them being gone.

Lakers got nothing for Randle and neither did the Pelicans.

Obviously DLO made the leap last season, but I would say Ingram (starting end of last season) and Bryant have made a leap this season.

Lonzo looks close too.

Brandon Ingram is finally making that leap that all us stans were calling for in the BI thread.

Whatever team he's on will be my 2nd team idc

It's crazy to think about but depending on how things went, we could have any possible combo from the 4 below:

PG/Kawhi/Davis/Bron

New Orleans has not won a game but the kids are playing really well. They'll only get better. Glad to see them coming along.

The Lakers are also 1-1.

That is right. If they were all leading their teams to records better than what the Lakers have, I would definitely be thinking that it was a mistake to trade them away. Right now--this early in the season--the jury is still out. This is a question that will need to be revisited after the New Year.

Regardless of what some of are forcing yourselves to believe -- the Lakers messed up.

Lonzo is going to be similar to Russell Westbrook and Ingram very similar to Kevin Durant. The growth we were waiting on takes time man. The Lakers had nothing to gain by trading them because I am pretty sure we'd have Leonard and George right now while keeping the young guys.

Lonzo is the one we'll probably never recover from losing and he was the one we could have kept. Kyle Kuzma's grow on trees.

Just can't believe how bad the Lakers messed all of this up.

Gotta admit. Pelicans are fun as hell to watch. Missing 2 of their top 3 guys and still giving teams hell.

And watching the coaching staff work with BI is so refreshing. They see his offensive potential. Dude's a star at least. Superstar remains to be seen.

Great to watch the Pels w/ Joel Meyers calling the games -- BI had quite a night with a 35 pt /15reb / 5 ast

For a young team, they have a lot of health questions. They will be real fun to watch once Zion comes back.

Never forget the Lakers picked Kuzma over Ingram cause he was cheaper.
