**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[Maximus Meridius]

Kuzma could very well come in and move Randle out the paint. His ceiling is WAY higher but we'll see.

 

[pmatic]

While true
24k Magic still in the air

As for Kuzma, he's gotta get burn
I don't think he'll Struggle against 3s at all
We might see this unit off the bench sometime during the season
JC, Josh hart, Kuzma, Larry, bogut/zu

Randle is in an extension year, he's gonna have to show that consistent J for sure
And if he's dealt, luol gotta be attached to any deal

Deng and Randle to the Nets for Carroll (one less year than Deng), Booker (expiring) and a measly draft pick.

You heard it here first.

I’m not sure where Kuz will be better suited, the 3 or 4, but I trust the coaches who see him play everyday to determine where he fits best in the NBA. No need to worry about that stuff from afar

 

[tay1]

This is essentially his 3rd season upcoming.

He upped his scoring and mid range % last year, so if he has a similar progression as the previous season he’d have a pretty impressive season.

I mean yeah he's still young and can inprove, but unless he improves his junper, he's just gon be a slightly quicker, less dominant Zach Randolph.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Not today satin

 

[God]

I hate that we're giving away prospects just to free up cap space for summer of 2018 FAs. If we end up giving away Dlo and Randle for basically nothing and strike out in FA next summer, we'd be taking an all-time L

Drafting DLo was an L.

You trust the coaches?....the coaches in Orlando had Aaron Gordon playing the 3 for his first two years when it was abundantly CLEAR TO EVERYBODY that he's better suited at the 4 .

Kuz at the 4 is where he fits best. Him and Zo also got chemistry.

Randle will NOT **** up Zo's improvement. I need this #BBB thing to go far. Get him out the paint now.

Still ALA....but BBB Gang

Pelinka REALLY wants to be Rob Lowe

[BIG LEEMELONE]

My guy must have just got misplaced looking for housatladenvegasmore. I got you bruh

 

[mr j 858]

I'm pretty sure by the trade deadline this season Randle or Clarkson is going to be dealt.

Magic & Pelinka know they need to clear one of those contracts to be able to sign 2 max players next summer.

Deng nobody is going to help us out again and trade for him. After this season the Lakers will use the stretch provision on is horrible contract.

LETS GET IT!!!!!

 

[thasoleful1]

Iono if it’s a good or bad thing

Ball and Kuz

 

[MVP]

Randle on the clock

 

[fayetnam]

Zo dropped a banger

Wish he didn't have to be PC all the time

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Ingram on the clock too? Didn't see his name in zo's lineup

 

[MVP]

Ingram on the clock too? Didn't see his name in zo's lineup

He's 2 months older than Zo so nah. Officially on the clock next year but he's going to show out this season anyway.

 

[purpnyellow]

Randles jumper better be money if not he gone

 

[youngwolf]

randle is as good as gone

Tears of joy will come streaming down my face the day a notification pops up on my phone saying he's been traded. Doesn't matter where I'm at, or what I'm doing. Tears are coming.

 

[goldmember]

Cant wait for the season to start already

Lakers

 

[Maximus Meridius]

LETS GET IT!!!!!

Can't believe how stupid they were giving Deng that f'n deal. He should be retired now, instead he's getting 17 mil to barely touch the floor.

i dont even know who the coaches in orlando are or where they came from....you know luke and what hes done as an asst.
how you gon a compare Kuz and aaron gordon...
kuz already has a far more polished game and range beyond the arc......i dont even know what gordon is good at besides dunking.
