Of course not. It’s a marketing tool to make games more competitive. It definitely accomplished that. But it’s not a Larry O’Brien trophy.
Well-well-well
Can we get a parade?

Hopefully we pull a gang of these and have nice table decorations all over the office.

Good they can hang it up in the practice facility or something hanging banner in the arena is for the Larry O only.

can we atleast get a pizza party?

Put the trophy in a glass case and display it inside Crypto.com Arena

Only Larry for the Lakers 🏆

Oh, my fellow basketball enthusiasts! Let me tell you something that might just blow your mind. Did you know that the Los Angeles Lakers are like the kings of the court, while the Clippers are just…well, let’s say they’re not quite on the same level. It’s like comparing a lion to a kitten!

I’m surprised the rusty Clips aren’t hanging participation banners up there 😆

Lakers will reevaluate this policy once we have 17 IST trophies

Put a star on the jersey, Champions League style.

Hang it during clippers home games.

UCLA Health Training Center be it to remind them effort pays off.

We will cross that bridge when we get the banner, but my vote would be at the practice facility

As I said before, I hope they treat this trophy like the WCF trophy and not touch it and leave it in Vegas, like they left that one in Denver during the Kobe-Shaq era (and the Magic era). Just take the cash and move on.
And BTW, I STILL don’t care about this tournament or trophy and all of these NBA shows and sports talk can’t make me. Just want the Lakers to win games period.

One less banner for the clippers to cover up during their games.

Ooo, I like the text of this tweet! An in season banner is nothing compared to Our history of prestige
ProfessorTicklebutts
Oh come on, we could put a little something up. Not a full banner but maybe just an image of the trophy.
Ahambone
Send the banner to a random fan or something

If we win I think the NBA want us to hang one, it’s already a big deal, they wouldn’t want to derail that
j_var626
We should hang it in the lobby of Morongoooooo

You are absolutely right! BUT I ask this question: If the Lakers do win the inaugural In-Season Tournament and the 1st NBA Cup on Saturday then eventually hang a banner for it does it raise the tournaments importance beyond money and bragging rights? At least from a fan perspective, does the Lakers hanging the 1st tournament banner make it seem more important or more prestigious than if the Pacers winning and hanging a tourney banner?
I feel like with how much Adam Silver wanted this tournament the NBA would want them to.

Give it to the Clippers so they can hang it in their new arena. Make them feel more at home.

Hanging a smaller banner for winning the first ever IST would be kind of nice.
Public-Product-1503
I think we should , because it’s the first one . If we win it makes it a bit more special imo being the n1 franchise + being first in season winners
ActuaryExtension9867
How about a mini parade
dropfools
Hang it in the clippers locker room.

The “in season tournament” is dumb af with an even dumber name. I’d be embarrassed to hang anything to do with this disaster.
Machismo_malo
Adam Silver calling in the A-Team, the Lakers ain’t winning. This shouldn’t have come out or been said until after.

Put a patch in the corner of the real banner we get in June. Set the standard.

I really wish the IST had some better incentives. Like a guaranteed playoff spot or even a guaranteed home court advantage for one series

If we hung every banner we won, it would be a fire hazard.

Other teams: easy to say when you have so many. 😂

I wouldn’t mind hanging the banner since it’s the first one and, whether you like the tourney or not, it’s history. If this was any other year I would be more inclined to agree.
