Lakers prepare for the new season!
Filed Under Lakers |Well…it’s almost here. Lakers have started training camp, and at the end of this month we open the new season at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on October 28th at 7:30PM. So I think it’s a good time to start writing again, plus I needed the time off just to get over the loss to Boston! 
There is lots of talk about how the Lakers will need to be tougher to be able to win in the finals and how the Celts just pounded the Lakers…and if the Bynum/Gasol show will be tough enough. I just can’t wait to see Andrew back…Lamar/Pau/Andrew/Fish/Kobe!!! WOW
Other things that made the news since the Lakers lost in the finals…
Kobe and gang brought the GOLD home, congratulations to the entire US Basketball team! We also got to see the newest Laker, Sun Yue, at the Olympics.
Kobe Bryant also decided to forego getting surgery on his right pinkie. The injury originally occurred on February 5th and Bryant passed on surgery at that time in order to complete the Lakers season and to subsequently play in the Olympics. It had been anticipated at the time of the injury that Kobe would get surgery after the Olympics and miss at least some of training camp, however, according to the release on kb24.com, further discussions with doctors revealed an estimated 12 weeks of recovery time.
Kobe said, “When the doctors told me recovery from a procedure could be 12 weeks, I just decided now was not the time to have surgery. What it really came down to for me is that I just didn’t want to miss any time ‘punching the clock’ for the Lakers, given all we are trying to accomplish as a team this NBA season.”
Kobe is expected to participate fully in training camp and the upcoming pre-season and regular season.

Luke Walton had ankle surgery in mid-July to remove bone spurs and scar tissue and to clean up some cartilage debris from his right ankle.
Sasha Vujacic was re-signed, but we lost Ronny Turiaf to free agency.
Looking forward to a successful season - GO LAKERS!
