Should the Lakers be hoisting a banner for their NBA In-Season Tournament triumph?

Brace yourself.

Monday night figures to be a noisy one on NBA Twitter (and, yes, in our very own Substack Chat room).

The Los Angeles Lakers play host to the New York Knicks and have scheduled a pregame ceremony as part of the evening's program to raise a banner at Crypto.com Arena to commemorate the club's recent triumph in the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament.

So you can expect lots of loud opinion to bubble on all of the league's various comment channels once we get a look at the banner, which the Lakers say will feature a different shape and color from the 17 NBA championship banners that the purple and gold have already hung.
