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

[pmatic]

Ho hum.

Edit:

We'll see if it continues, but McGee might have hit a wall too. He's already logged more minutes this season since 2013 (!).

Worst part of all this is that bi and zo have no value right now to trade them...unless people feel our coaching staff is that bad no one's giving up an all star

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Only way this makes sense is if we trade for AD and bring back russell and Randle. Speak it into existence

 

[sohi 23]

I’m praying that this is the last game without LeBron.

 

[kobeoverbron]

I don't care for DLo STILL.

 

[oh you mad]

Minus whale get the tank for zion billboards up..

 

[DLF]

Man, CANT WAIT for tonight’s game. So pumped. Love watching our young guys.


Lol lol.

Optics of Dlo Randle and Splash Mountain ballin out on other teams are not good when our young guys struggle

 

[moonman818]

Has Magic/Rob done anything good for this team besides sign Lebron? ( we all know he was signing anyway)

1. Drafted Kuzma and Hart
2. Did a good job handling the Deng situation
3. Traded Lou Williams for a 1st rounder

I've been following the Nets this year. Dlo hasn't really changed his game that much (I've always liked him, so that's not a knock). More consistent shooter and their system fits his passing style. Doesn't have to penetrate, usually finds a shooter right after a screen is set.

He still doesn't have the burst to get to the rim 1 on 1. Still isn't very good defensively, but the shot is falling now.

Still mad about Julius tho.

Yo this is one of the most irrational fanbases imaginable . a set of 20-21 year olds have no value because they didn't look like All NBA talents in a 8 game span. Magic & Pelinka haven't done any "good" for the team, despite setting up a team where we have four good young players, Lebron & Cap space to bring in Another Marquee FA.

All of this because we're one game under .500

 

[moonman818]

I just feel like we should be in much better position after the opportunities we had last Summer.

Not sure they really know how to put a team together.

Ahhh I see dudes are still overrating are young players

We always knew that this season would be a transition year. After striking out on getting Kawhi and Paul George we knew that all of our efforts would be about getting a free agent in the summer of 2019. We always knew it would be lebron and the young guys. From a big picture standpoint it's hard to assess Magic and Rob because we're not a finished product yet.

My criticism is about the deals on the fringes. We didn't sign any shooters and the NBA is a shooter's league and we wonder why we suck.

I agree with this cuz Magic and Rob have done a great job turning the team around but this last 2 weeks have been horrible. Yeah these players are young but it's no excuse for losing to the Knicks and Cavs at home. The Cavs basically dominated that game. It wasn't some back and fourth fluke loss at the buzzer.

The whole is basically a liability at the FT line. It's just bad.

It were two bad games indeed, i'm not taking away from that... but this is indicitive of Young players & young teams, even the "special" rookies lose a lot of games. In the majority of these games we've been in them late, & we go through stretches where we don't execute. the way people are acting you would think we were losing by 20 nightly.

I'm with you, not panicking yet. People have a right to be mad at the losses to Cavs and Knicks tho.

I would argue they put together a decent team given that they were only giving 1 yr deals. All of the new guys have outperformed their contract, except for Rondo due to injuries.

Think they might have been banking on the young guys too much, including Wagner.
