he probably will, unless he doesn't reach his potential. Lonzo is a good athelete for a PG, but not great. Ingram is a great athlete as a SF. he's got Durant potential, that length, height, and athleticism, it's very rare, especially when you can also shoot.

I fully expect Ingram to have a great 2nd season...around 18-19ppg with solid shooting %s.

I believe Lakers will land at least one superstar next summer.

Things will get really interesting if Lakers can land PG and Lebron in summer of 2018. Lonzo, PG, Ingram, Lebron all on the court at the same time

If they land Lebron and PG Ingram will be traded for sure. Unless he wants to play the Center position. They can probably trade him for a pick or a decent big man.

I'm not so sure about that. PG and Lebron are versatile enough to play SG, SF, and PF. Ingram can play SF and PF in today's NBA. I think it'll give Lakers ridiculous length and speed to have all 3 on the court with Lonzo.

It really depends on Ingram and Lonzo if they can attract multiple superstars to the team. If they play great - Lakers become a very attractive spot especially with Magic running the show.

Ferreals? Holy s**t, how can someone that successful be so damn insecure? This explains so much about why he went to Golden State.

If you hadn't figured out how big of a d bag KD is after the whole warriors situation, well now i think its pretty clear.

This whole KD situation is pretty funny, but what he was saying was right. That team wasn't s**t other than KD and RW.

I actually like his message there. Pretty much saying "just shut the f**k up and see what I did".

I don't think 'd bag' is an accurate description of KD at all.

Thin skinned, insecure definitely. But d bag? No.

I like the KD soles I posted above. I get why people think the way they do about him.

That is him saying "I told you so, and here is proof"

I dig it.

whatever

Looks like Melo to Blazers or Rockets gonna happen soon.

That should be fun.

Ibaka, Stevens, Kanter, along with 2 of the top 5 players in the league is a damn good team imo.

They won 47 games without Durant. That's pretty good.

WTF? Since when did Lebron, Durant, Kawhi Leonard, or Anthony Davis join the Thunder? Not to mention Chris Paul, James Harden, Giannis Antekoumpo, Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, etc.

George had arguably his best season ever and didn't finish in the top 40 in PER. He's a good 2 way player, but he's not as good as Kawhi Leonard.

I'm not even sure they have 1 of the top 5 players in the league. Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, and Lebron James are far and away the best players in the league. After that, I think it's a close call between Paul and Westbrook - Paul is a better true PG while Westbrook is a better rebounder and defender (not a better defender in 2016 though). Westbrook's stats were inflated this year because he was chasing triple doubles so his teammates let him get every rebound on FT attempts and almost every uncontested rebound, and his usage rate was off the charts.
