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

I hope they don’t even consider that. The only way this works is if they make smart moves and bringing a guy who could possibly die on the court is not one of them.
 


:lol:

Stephen almost brought me to tears and sounded like when he heard and reacted to Pau traded for Kwami :lol:
 
Taking his talents to Manhattan Beach :hat

Relieved we didn’t strike out this summer again :lol and excited to see how this plays out on the court. We byke :hat
 
Ugghhh. That video post up above making me realize we’re gonna have Windhorst pretending to be a Laker beat writer.

He’s a LeBron beat writer, he doesn’t need to pretend to be a Lakers beat writer.

Y’all Kobe Stan’s gonna need some serious therapy when you see LeBron wearing the purple and gold (and all that comes with it).
 
Need kawhi to openly tell other teams he will sit out to rehabs his thigh if they trade for him. Allowing lakers to get him for zubac and a second rounder and Deng

Not a Kobestan at all my son. Magic’s my number 1 Laker. I’m just not down with Lebbys antics, whining, and need to run the organization. Lakers are bigger than Lebby.
 
A little worried about our center spot. McGee zubac ain’t the best depth chart. Or are we starting Randle there? Needs to be addressed

If only we can get Lopez on 1 year min deal which probably won’t happen. Warriors probably will offer 1 year 5 mill that he’ll take

That article about Randle blown out of proportion. His wife posted a pic of Randle and their son in lakers gear today. Randle just wants to feel loved. A meeting with magic and LeBron will turn him. Ideally he takes a QO If my for like 10 mill a year since who else gonna give him a bigger deal? Hawks only team left right? Sixers can but they need shooting
 
Hey, did I miss something with Randle wanting to bounce? Has this been developing and just now culminated in him saying he's out? If true, what the problem is? Coach? Usage? Wants to be the face and knows that's definitely not going to happen now, at least for 4 years?

Also, if true, I hate to see him go, but I would think he could be real tempting for Pop. :nerd:

He, DLo and PG have the same agent. They shipped DLo, didn't trade for PG, and didn't prioritize Randle. I'm guessin his agent didn't take that lightly. Hope they can work somethin out, at least for this year.

Randle's agent is a fruit cake. F him.
 
Non-Bron question: is Thomas Bryant still on the summer league team, since he got waived?

Excited for summer league, after today need to see any kind of lakers basketball :lol

Nope TB will not be part of the summer league team.
 
So Pelton makes a great point......

KCP, Lance, Javale all 1 year deals. 8o

Lock up Randle also for a 1 year deal. 8o

Means complete cap space for next year, stretch Deng, 35-37 mil in space.

Kawhi, Klay, Kyrie, Butler, Kemba the top 5 FA.

No Spurs leverage. We can wait. Yes, PG didn't come. But now Bron IS locked in, a Laker. One more year of development for Ball/Ingram/Kuzma/Hart/Wagner. Kawhi might choose diff than PG.

We COULD flip for Kawhi this year, but we don't have to give up the farm. They take a lesser deal, or we wait them out, see what Kawhi does. Either way, 35-37 mil, someone takes that to play with Bron in LA.

Well excuse me for calling you a “Kobe Stan” but your username constructed my assumption :lol

But LeBron signed a 4 year deal, he’s committed long term (no 1 year deals anymore), so that should give you some insight and confirmation, those prior “antics” won’t continue like when he was on the Cavs last couple years.

Be grateful bro, look at the past 5 years, I’d deal with the antics and whining graciously/thankfully if he decided to go to the Knicks. Don’t be that dude, you sound upset.

Yea this sets up perfectly.

We have a myriad of options. We could wait for Kawhi, but I'd rather go get him now. It won't cost the farm.
