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

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Nance still bulletproof

Nance still bulletproof

He was picked a lot lower than Julius, expectations are lower for him. No need to keep Julius when his deal is up and Kuzma is better than him.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

A lot of people say Nance is better than Julius so why would expectations be lower? Unless of course he's not better. Once you're in the league draft position doesn't matter anymore

Sheeeiid

A 7th pick and a 27th pick ain't gon be judged the same. I'm not as low on Julius as other people but at the end of the day Kuzma is clearly better, no reason to invest big money in him.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Talking about Nance tho

If he's supposed to be better then the expectation should be...that he plays better. But he always gets the draft position excuse when he doesn't

 

[purpnyellow]

well nance can space the floor better than randle I’m not to high on nance doh but kuzma’s skill set make randle expendable

You talking about Nance to shift the attention from Julius though.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

How am I shifting attention? Randle was fine and people are saying he's trash. Nance is supposed to be better and he didn't do much last night but nobody ever criticizes him. That was my point

 

[moonman818]

Nance is cheeks. Please get him off my team ASAP...JR essentially played better than everyone else on the team but y’all still talking about trading him lol

 

[moonman818]

It’s ok Nance is bad because he was picked 27th???

 

[fayetnam]

Nance isn't bad, he's a solid high character, high effort role player.

Randle clearly outperforms nance on the stat sheet but his contract won't justify his play. Plus stylistically he doesn't really fit well in this offense

Therefore nance is better value and fit even though technically he isn't the better player.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

At least that makes some sense even tho I don't really agree with all of it

 

[goldmember]

Really need shooters around Zo. That starting five with Nance was basura. KCP also looked like a slightly athletic deng last night.

I like Ingram's aggressive approach on offense.

 

[wavycrocket]

BIG LEEMELONE might leave the fan base WHEN Randle gets shipped

 

[Maximus Meridius]

He just dug in on Julius. The writing is on the wall.

 

[moonman818]

For the record, I’m fine with shipping Randle out for the right deal but there’s almost nothing Nance does better than Julius but dunk and be indecisive.

I don’t think he has any value at all.

BIG LEEMELONE might leave the fan base WHEN Randle gets shipped

 

[CP1708]

Randle the next DLo
Ingram will be the next Randle
Zo will be the next Ingram

 

[thirdtimearound]

Ship Nances *** out before you even think about touching Julius.

What did nance show last night that showed he was better than Randle

 

[MVP]

Nance is a better fit, Julius is the better player, how many times does and ways does it need to be said?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Who said Nance is better than Julius?


Julius is bout to get his spot taken and he ain't worth the $. Simple.

 

[mr j 858]

Biggest Randle supporters on here are OK with the Lakers giving him a HUGE contract extension next summer just so he can come off the bench

Just like we're paying Clarkson $14 million a year to come off the bench and hopefully win a 6th man of the year award.

On the trade market will you be able to get more for nance or Randle?

 

[noblekane]

Nance is cheeks. Please get him off my team ASAP...JR essentially played better than everyone else on the team but y’all still talking about trading him lol

its insane man rather than have the most talent you can have for the team these ****** talking about trading him already.

just because

lets just give him up for nothing because 12 and 9 is garbage

i swear some of you hate that man for other reasons smh

 

[noblekane]

On the trade market will you be able to get more for nance or Randle?

the way people think nance is more valuable than randle i guess so cuz u know randle sucks

 

[tonelow]

Randle will look better next to Brook. Nance might not ever be more than a spark off the bench.

Lowkey they're both probably best playing as back up/small ball centers.

I think we could get a late 1st for Julius from a capped out playoff team.

Y'all talking bout them two like Kuz ain't the future tho.
