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

3/15
5 turnovers
Cant guard a single soul in the NBA

Can we PLEASE buy this dude out. I can't take anymore.
Haven't hated a Laker this much since Nick Young.
 
129 ppg given up since the trade. They def mailed it in. Better come out of the break with some renewed energy.

I said the day it happened a losing streak was coming. We already had a small margin of error.
 
Yep IT is playing right out of any team giving him any kind of big money.

They better get it together during the all star break.

Zo and Hart better get all the minutes from now on.
 
IT definitely garbage. Can’t get a shot off clean at his size. He’s a mid level exception type player, maybe less

So, last two years never happened?

He's injured and working his way back. He'll never be a defender, but he was an MVP candidate last year. Stop with the Hot takes.

dude, he had an outlier of a season. 1 season... he will never be able to duplicate that. He’s older and injured and is only effective when he’s holding on the ball for too damn long. One season you couldn’t ever play him in the 4th cause of how poor his defense was and the following he was the leagues leader for scoring in the 4th.

The latter had nothing to do with him and more with the Celtics/Stevens tayloring the offense to help IT thrive, however that came at the cost alienating teammates.. it’s not team ball.

The takes aren’t hot. It’s reality. The Celtics made the most out of what they had and were able to sell high.

His ability to score, even when healthy, doesn't make up for him being literally the worst defender in the NBA and dribbling the ball for the entirety of offensive possessions.
Players like him are best suited off the bench but even then I'd rather stay away from him after this season.
 
Once Zo is back I want to see IT3 in VERY limited minutes. The guard rotation should be Zo-Hart-KCP with Zo and Ingram splitting primary ball handling responsiblities. It's like I said after the Mavs game, unless IT3 is getting you 30 points on good efficiency he's a net negative on the floor because his defense is so bad. He's just not a good fit for this team, he needs the ball in his hand to be productive and once Zo is back that's not gonna be the case.
 
How many more bad games from IT before he starts ripping the effort of his teammates and taking shots at the coaching staff?? When does he blame his poor play for coming off the bench and demand to be inserted into the starting lineup?

He's a cancer. Just wait on it.

I want him out ASAP.
 
Look.

Let's be honest. It isn't going anywhere any time soon.

He played well in the first game, but has been awful the last two.

Hopefully things get better. If they don't hopefully Luke plays Zo and Hart and let's IT rot.
