Jovan Buha on his podcast about the biggest thing from Training Camp:
On to takeaway number two, which for me was the vibes around the Lakers being at an all-time high. I can say this is my fifth season covering the Lakers, and my fifth training camp, and I cannot remember the Lakers having this positive, joyous, upbeat energy around them to this extent in any of the four previous training camps. That's not hyperbole—that's my honest opinion and just my honest assessment of this situation and what I'm witnessing.
Just walking into the gym today, typically under the previous regime, all six courts would be taken, but there would be a lot of half-speed workouts—guys doing post-workout shooting or maybe the occasional drill. But walking in today, and yes, it was the first day of camp, so we’ll see if this keeps up, but all we can go off of right now is the first practice on the first day of camp, and it was intense.

The JJ effect.
If we could tell that Ham was in over head, those professional players could too. It’s such a relief when you no longer have to go along with someone who knows less than you do.
Dave MCMenamin said the same btw
The bandwagon is closed, we’re going to the ship. Remember I said this.
Hopefully those vibes are the same after they start the season 4-6 like a lot of people on here agreed is likely to happen.
All-time? 🤨
? How on earth could it be better than the 2020 vibes of “we literally do everything together”?
The JJ Redick Effect
🧢
Remind me in 3 months
He been around five years covering the team but is calling this an all time high?
League is not ready for the Power of Friendship Lakers
If JJ can have a more successful season with an objectively worse roster it would speak *volumes* on Ham’s incompetence
Lakers will be better this year, with health, excited!
It’s always like this, every year, then after the first tough first loss, we revert back to its somebody’s fault but we’re not saying who.
We’re officially in the honeymoon period
Easier to run without your hands in your pockets
The vibes are at an all time high because they live and play in LA and Ham is gone. We still need roster moves
