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

If I’m the young core, I’m saying **** the Lakers

They were really ready to gut out our young core, over one player

I can’t rock with the Lakers/Magic knowing they were about to pull that

You sound soft. The Celtics, Knicks and Bucks are ready to do the same thing. Same goes for any team with the assets to sign AD. That's just how the league goes.

What have they done or shown they can do to prove that together they are worth more than AD?
 
Damn. Lavar said Luke turned his son into a loser. Even after all this, he still tryna get Lonzo outta here? :nerd:

Some of y’all Laker fans are putting way too much faith and upside in this “young core”...


They’re NOT THAT GOOD...


You make this trade 10/10 times. Plus it’s the only way Magic can redeem himself for getting finessed by Lavar Ball for trading D’Angelo and drafting Lonzo. :lol

It’s bad business no matter what team it is

I’m only speaking on the Lakers cause thats my team, idc what other teams are doing.

Plus we wouldn’t be even looking at AD if Lebron wasnt here, whats the urgency now? Especially when GSW gonna reign at least one more year, I’m taking young players over one “superstar” and a bunch of scrubs, simply to please Lebron

Whag has AD done to prove we need to push for him this bad?

None of the young players have reached their ceiling

Lets say we put a superteam together now and win maybe ONE chip, you taking that over setting us back 5-6 years?

... you’re right. He’s trash.
 
If anybody soft it’s magic and the lakers.



The lakers kept giving into the pelicans. These idiots shoulda said no a long time ago. But the lakers been actin too damn desperate. Now teams know to demand everything because the lakers will pay it. We are officially licks

And if we get the Solomon hill contract we eliminate ourself from getting any big FA.

Their ceiling is short... Lonzo is good starter at best, KUZ may be an all-star a few times, MAYBE. Ingrahm is volume shooter, he’s Rudy Gay at best.....

All I’m seeing is short ceilings, I don’t know what y’all are talking about. Anthony Davis bro, ANTHONY DAVIS. He’s two years older than Kuzma, he’s a Superstar right now and will continue to be. You can build around him when LeBron comes down to earth...

You’re not setting your franchise back 5-6 years. You’re actually getting a FRANCHISE. This “young core” **** needs to stop. They ain’t it, they’re not that great.

turner already said they're gonna stretch his contract so that opens up FA flexibility

that might even be able to package him to another team

As of now we can only give 32M for a max. 34M is the full max.

Absorbing Hills contract and stretching him reduces that figure by 4M. So we can then only give 28M. Meaning the most we can offer is -6M of max.

If we package him.. then add more value to the package. Basically some more first round picks/players. The trade is absurd as is and when you add to it it’s even worse
 
I really don’t care for the Walton slander. But this **** is corny right here.

“You don’t even hear of [Kyle] Kuzma if Lonzo don’t make him in the Las Vegas Summer League,” LaVar told Arizona’s Sports Station 98.7.

“You see every time Kuzma plays by himself? [Josh] Hart by himself? They get nothing. [Brandon] Ingram play by himself? They get nothing. They look raggedy. Lonzo, he makes everybody better. How can you make everybody better if you got four people dribbling the ball up the court? You put him in a corner. You try to make him a 3-and-D guy. He’s been a guy who controls the game. You can’t control the game if you’re sitting on the bench and you’re taking him in and out of the game.”
