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

[noblekane]

if magic has his mind set u know we cant do a damn thing about it

so out of these 3 which two would you trade for koala?

kuzma ball ingram

 

[Lizakers]

Enough with the injury.....he sat out the year for political reasons. Is the injury preventing him from traveling with the team and rooting for his teammates? He’s distant because he wants out

 

[noblekane]

its pretty crazy when you look at it

we can probably keep everyone and sign pg and lebron

but we going after koala?

 

[CP1708]

Don't think we would have the space to get him in 2019 if we sign PG, Bron, Randle and Brook.

Huh?

I'm talking about signing George, I don't want to trade for Kawhi.

Throw Randle in there. Ingram has the highest ceiling and Zo would fit better with everyone so ideally those 2 would be the ones to keep.

 

[Lizakers]

San Antonio culture won’t want Lavar shenanigans

And yes, if he was truly injured he would still be out there cheering his team on. This is all a play to fracture the relationship and force a trade

My bad. I was thinking about getting all 3, the only way to do that is to trade for Kawhi now.

 

[DLF]

Woah. Kawhi tryna force his way here? San Antonio losing all leverage....

Nah same happened to PG13. Got traded to a wild card team. Spurs won’t help us. No way. He will be traded to bucks or something.

 

[DLF]

Kawhi talks are likely fake news fabricated by LA to push PG13 here bc now he’s gotta think twice about doing a 1 year deal with OKC like he was perhaps planning. Now he’s not gonna take any chances but sign here. It’s been so obvious he wants to come to lakers. He literally said it himself.

 

[sohi 23]

The thought of a Ball/Hart/Leonard/Lebron lineup has me in tears.

No way pg is thinking about a one year deal...this may be his last chance to get a max...wether it's with us or somewhere else

 

[atlsfinest]

Wouldn't Kawhi and PG be ideal? That would allow us to re-sign Randle.

Zo, PG, Kawhi, Randle, FA Center or Zubac

There's no point in keeping Zo if we sign Lebron.

Lebron is a primary ball handler and Zo isn't very good off the ball.

 

[thatboydrew]

future is bright regardless of what happens......when was the last time we said that haha

 

[MajinZuub]

Magic ain't moving Zo

 

[Lizakers]

Rumors season in full swing
This year it just feels a little different....

 

[MVP]

Spurs season will be over on Sunday at the latest and that's when the stuff will start into overdrive, so buckle up.

 

[moonman818]

I still don't understand why we HAVE to trade for Kawhi.

If he's so disgruntled why don't we just wait to sign him?

Can someone explain why this isn't possible?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It's the PG scenario all over again

 

[MVP]

Getting him now makes the super mega team possible for this summer.

Luckily the PG situation in OKC hasn't and doesn't look like it's going to work out (thanks Melo) but there is the chance Kawhi gets traded to Boston which would be ideal fit wise.

 

[tonelow]

Yea only way to get all 3 is to trade for him now. Won't have space for him next yr if we have Randle bron and pg on the books.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It doesn't make sense to me. You put Kawhi and pg next to Bron and they become 3 and D guys. Elite 3 and D guys but still. No point in maxing them out, diminishing returns

 

[DLF]

Wouldn't Kawhi and PG be ideal? That would allow us to re-sign Randle.

Zo, PG, Kawhi, Randle, FA Center or Zubac

There's no point in keeping Zo if we sign Lebron.

Lebron is a primary ball handler and Zo isn't very good off the ball.

Lol wut? LeBron comes to la bc he wants to play with ball

 

[Kaleo15]

Can Lakers still get Klay next year? Maybe Kobe will give him a fat bonus for Body Armor.

Asking for a friend.

there will def be a "meshing" period on offense for sure but no one will be able to score on Zo-PG13-KL-eLBJay
you have atleast 3 guys that can create their own shot when the play breaks down.
