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

[dceja]

And we got a 1st haha how?...24k magic is so appropriate right now

 

[Maximus Meridius]

hopefully someone hits IT up and tells him to buy in, cause if comes here and stinks it up...he only gonna get 1+1 deals come this summer

Even if he buys in his play is still bad and he's hurt.

Why are so many people on this thread down and like Doom & Gloom attitude and wanting to already ship out IT before he even lands in LA.

Are you guys missing the main point that they made the move because he's a 3 month rental and has a expiring contract

If we were still in tank mode ok but you bringing in somebody that's already caused drama with a veteran team. He's been garbage on the court and bad in the locker room.

I just don't like bringing him in and these young dudes got something going now.

If Magic pulls off even 1 max free agent acquisition, build him another statue

really...for only getting one this summer...cmon man
he wanted space to get 2 and now he has it...this is what they talked about all year man.
this 2019 talk doesnt change the fact that they traded all these pieces ...now he has to get 1 imo

 

[thatboydrew]

wow just saw the news. Not sure what to make of it just yet...

But you probably were a fan of signing and then giving Swaggy P a contract extension a few years back with a young core Laker team.

Despite his on the court antics and all his stupid baggage off the court.

Right now I would rather have Clarkson off the bench than IT.

I've never been a fan of Clarkson but he wasn't messing up the team, IT can. He can hurt our offense and make us even worse on defense. He did it in Cleveland.

I see that.

Look at what they would have accomplished as a novice GM in his 1st season and idiot according to most of y'all in here.

Nah man.. don't try to switch it up now

 

[lovehateself]

i was against adding larry to any trade as a sweetener...but man magic really finessed a pick back in return

 

[Los Angeles]

Difference is cleveland really tryna push for a championship ... we’re just trying to push for 2 max contracts.

IT doesnt hurt us in either of those

 

[Lizakers]

Rachel Nichols just said per IT’s people, he will seek a buyout if he’s not a starter hhahahaah

 

[purpnyellow]

Its agent saying he’s not coming of the bench

 

[sohi 23]

Yeah Magic needs 2 .

All these moves were made to get 2 max slots.

U don't trade JC and Nance unless it's for making room for 2 max slots.

Also, I'm not tripping over trading JC like the rest of y'all. His value will never be higher. Bruh was playing the best ball of his career last month. I bet he regresses back to the mean soon enough.

 

[dceja]

IT did well when he had a real coach...
Now he has one again...we are in good hands gentleman...in magic we trust

Haters gonna HATE and are saving their posts hoping we strike out this summer on free agents.

Then the haters will come in here with pitchforks

You just saying anything

I been called a Nick Young hater I couldn't stand his dumb***.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

We already had space for 1 max. So magic would've made the team worse and only gotten one max. That is not a good thing

 

[Los Angeles]

Buy his *** out

 

[dceja]

There's still 1 more what else u got Magic...keep it coming

 

[had pants]

You're missing another key point...Hart get jc minutes and Kuz/Randle takes up the 4...good guys but we can't play everybody

???

Hart was getting plenty of minutes, he took all of Ennis time. These moves weren't made for one max

 

[mr j 858]

IT, Deng, 1st round pick from Cavs, a future 2nd round pick.

To get another expiring contract.

Get it done Magic you have less than a hour before the trade deadline ends today

 

[tonelow]

Nah...the sole reason for those trades is to get 2 max slots. Otherwise you try to package them together for a better player.

Trading them just because we have a deep team is dumb.
