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

[sohi 23]

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but is it possible Bron is helping Luke get the boot? I'm not saying he is, I'm asking if it's possible.

I think we all expect Magic/Bron to pick their own coach next year, and try to lure that 2nd star, etc.

No.

1. Magic & Rob wanted to bring in their own coach when they got hired but Jeanie said no. Luke is Jeanie’s boy. She not gunna let him go quietly. Lebron doesn’t have **** to do with it.

2. Bron want the scoring record. He not sitting out any games on purpose. Breaking KAJ’s record as a Laker would be another huge feather in his cap.

i think its more likely the players are playing to lose to get luke the boot

Wouldn't put it past him. He's always wanted his guy he can puppet as his coach. LeCoachKiller. I just find it hilarious that this is by all indications the same injury fragile *** Steph Curry had earlier this season and he heard already returned by now. Bron has wanted Mark Jackson as his coach since the first time he returned to Cleveland. And I think he's a Klutch client as well.

MVP and trynafeelmink still on it

 

[trynafeelmink]

for the life of me i don not understand why people act as if there isn't Two sides to the basketball court. Luke has the Lakers as the SIXTH ranked defense and the majority of the year has been starting three second/third year players. Lebron James & Javale Mcgee.. That alone should give him a longer leash.

Where has there been a lie, Has Lebron not been use to an environment where he picks & chooses his coaches? Is he not 34 years old? does he not even attempt to play defense?

I'm only not bashing this Lebron signing because i still think we can add another star player this Summer which will make it worth it, but if we strike out & get stuck with Bron & trading our young guys for a tier 3 AS caliber player this **** would be a complete waste.

When has Lebron ever picked a coach? Did he pick Ty Lue, David Blatt or Spoelstra?

Ya'll got it today

 

[atlsfinest]

Y'all are right. I'm just gonna stop arguing with trynafeelmink and MVP about Lebron. Their hate isn't bound to logic.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Well he got Blatt Fired a few months in, It's been stated by people around the heat orginization that him & Wade tried to get Spolestra out in exchange for Riley, & Riley put an end to it.

Yes it's not logical to go by real facts of what's going on.... it's much more logical to fire your coach with no better candidates available, or move all our young players because they haven't turned into full blown AS caliber players in 10 games w/o Lebron... Sure logic

 

[Lizakers]

Which Tier 1 free agent is gonna wanna link up with an aging superstar who’s already getting knick knack old man injuries? I guess we’ll see.

Maybe Kawhi will see it as his chance to be 1A and Lebron could be 1B now that he’s 34 . Hope so

Either way, just to be a 45-50 win team (fingers crossed we get there), I’m thankful we have LeBronze

 

[fayetnam]

Think AD a lock to come here

 

[whoaitsgee]

Cant buy that theory when they are consistently a top 10 defense in the league -without Bron.

They care, they’re just not that talented to close out games.

 

[Lizakers]

Con man Lavar at it again

Got Paul Silas the boot
Tried to get Spo fired early on in Miami
Got Blatt canned so his boy Lue could take over, c'mon man it's obvious

 

[tonelow]

Kobe didn't have anything to do with the departures of MDA and Mike Brown?

Did he have anything to do with Byron being hired?

Magic was probably the first star to get his coach fired.

A star having that type of input isn't anything new.

 

[noblekane]

this young core aint looking too good for the future. no leaders at all

so if lebron ship um out so be it. good for the franchise

they already let the young cores leader leave in julius

magic got a chubby after lavar made him pancakes and lost his noodle when lebron said he would come

to be honest lebron and a couple bums like dion waiters and ryan anderson would be more successful than this team of underachievers

you have two things to do. play defense and hit open shots.

they cant hit open shots to save their lives even with a guy like lebron who takes all the attention from the opponents defense

 

[Lizakers]

Shaq got Brian Hill fired and MJ Doug Collins. The superstars got power like that

 

[Truth]

By chance anyone w lakersstore code you’re not using? DM me thx

 

[pmatic]

Y'all not gon talk about DLo getting benched last night?

And there he was cheering Dinwiddie and the other players on the floor just like he has all season, which goes against the label you have slapped on him had he stayed.

 

[whoaitsgee]

Need to be on your best behavior, it’s a contract year afterall

Well getting traded tends to wake dudes up and mature. He still got benched though.

Still better than Zo tho....

Still better than Zo tho....

I would hope so.
