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

[geno90221]

Let me go on the record and say that Pope and the first round pick for Ariza is a bad trade. I'd be willing to trade KCP by himself or just a first round pick for Arixa but not both. If you wash him in Phoenix, he looks washed.

I know our first round pick will (likely) be in the mid-to-late twenties but it's still worth more than something to attach to Pope in order to rent a Ariza for a season.

From what I’m hearing they hope to resign
Ariza after this season for a cheap vet deal

KCP still has $ to get so he gone either way

 

[Lizakers]

Hell to the naw naw to a first round pick. Rather keep KCPeeInACup

 

[kobeoverbron]

KCP is not trash anyway, he's fine. I don't see the need for TA.

[Lizakers]

Lou Williams out an estimated 2 weeks with hamstring injury

*checks to see if Lakers play Clippers in the next 2 weeks*

It’s heating up....

 

[kobeoverbron]

why do we need Ariza...

 

[lovehateself]

why do we need Ariza...

Proven vet with length to guard harden, KD/klay, PG.

I don’t think the move is necessary but I get it
If you trade for him now, he doesn’t get bought out and end up on one of the teams we’ll face in the playoffs

Also with Rondo coming back KCP mins gon dip

Rondo ain’t taking minutes from KCP, they have 2 different roles.

KCP gunna be really useful for Houston.

Roles don’t mean anything
Rondo come back his 28-30 mins gotta come from somebody mins right?

 

[tupac003]

Hmmm don't want the Rockets with KCP to get Ariza.

Don't want to give up a pick...

Yeah I'm gonna change my tune. If we can't do KCP straight for Ariza with PHX, forget it. Sign Ariza in the offseason for cheap.

 

[sohi 23]

True but I expect Rondo to take minutes away from Zo (and allow Bron & BI to not play point) mostly. I don’t expect KCP minutes to dip below 20.

 

[sohi 23]

Uh oh

 

[geno90221]

Didn’t Rondo break the same hand with the Bulls in 2017?

 

[atlsfinest]

Hopefully he's only there to pipe down Jeanie. I Love Phil, but keep him away from this team.

 

[geno90221]

Phil want that old thang back he must have got them pills delivered

 

[Lizakers]

Phil’s kicks
Why they got laptops out ?

[tatayniDarna]

kcp is gonna come back and haunt us as he drills 3 after 3 if we face h-town in d playoffs.

to add insult to injury, we’re giving away a late pick. something the lakers are actually good at - finding gems
