This argument is dumb.

The Lakers are a one of the most unpredictable teams going into the season next year.

Who the heck knows which players will be getting the most shooting chances with Lebron? Could be Ingram. Could be Kuzma. Could be KCP.

If Ingram settles into the No. 2 shooting option I would say he will wind up over 20 ppg. And that's assuming his play doesn't really elevate a whole lot.

hey if you want to take the bet- you are definitely welcome to it.

If Ingram scores 16.99999 points per game or under I win....if he scores 17.0 points or more per game you win.

let me know if you are interested and we can discuss terms.

Why would I want to make that bet? It's a pure guess.

I, personally, do not think its likely with LeBron and all the vets they have signed, thats why I am offering it- but can understand that you would not want to do it.

I have little desire to make positive bets for the Lakers.

Did I miss the part where they say Kyrie comes back to Cleveland?

No way Cavs make the playoffs.

If Ingram scores 16.99999, it gets rounded up to 17.0 and you lose.

Don't "lawyers" get taught basic math?

hey ill gladly lose that bet if the initial question of this thread comes true and the Lakers dont make the playoffs with LeBron James.

If LeBron James stays healthy for the majority of the year and the Lakers miss the playoffs every single person even tangentially attached to the Lakers orgainziation should be fired and blackballed from ever working in the NBA again. lol

They could have a toilet at a rock concert in the east and I'd give them as much of a chance for the 8th slot as some of the other teams competing for it.

if McGee gets 20 minutes a night on a regular basis and scores 8 a game on a regular basis, me and my buddy Elon Musk will be blasting off to start a colony on the red planet, believe me.

Just putting this up here.

You aren't going to goad me into a bet man. You are the one making the predictions here, I am simply talking about ways either side could happen.

Now, if you want to bump Ingram down to the original 16 PPG number and take both unders, then you have a bet. If you really believe there is no chance McGee gets 8 a game, his inclusion shouldn't deter you.

Official offer:

I take over on EITHER McGee hitting 8.0 or better OR Ingram hitting 16.0 or over.

You need to hit the under on both.

I would be willing to risk the 8K from our previous bet, but stakes are always negotiable. you can take it or leave it with regards to the terms.

This was the bet I offered based on @WiggyRuss projections of both players to be under these targeted numbers. The whole conversation started because I said there was a chance the Lakers 2nd leading scorer could be under 16 PPG if the scoring was super balanced and if a host of players, like Ball, Ingram, Hart, Rondo, Kuzma, KCP, and McGee averaged near, or above double figures.

blah blah blah blah....i know you are trying to put a ton of qualifiers and spin some bullshit.

Very simple--- take either bet you want

if JaVale McGee scores 8.0 a game or over you win. Let me know if you want to take it, or if you lack the balls.

If Ingram averages 17.0 points or over you win. Let me know if you want to take it, or if you lack the balls.


Or we can do another bet....I ll bet you that Osman gets 12 points a game if he averages 25 minutes a game for the months January- March, but the games have to be where his family shows up because they are a big boost to him, and Oh yah- another condition, the ball has to be round, and the hoop has to be 10 feet high, and no game of Osman's will count when he has not had a hair cut in the last 3 weeks, but it will count if he uses gel in his hair. lol......see I can put a bunch of inane and ludicrous conditions on a bet too.

My offers are VERY VERY SIMPLE.

if you would like to bet, let me know....as i said very very simple. McGee 8.0 or over, you win---- Ingram 17.0 or over you win.

This was your response.

As any can see, I was willing to bet. You didn't like my terms, so you passed. I didn't like your terms and I did the same.

So, If I was "cowardly" for not agreeing, so were you.

At least I have the benefit of not being spectacularly wrong.
