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

[vtotheinay]

If it was just a MCL sprain why he leave the arena ?

Yeah that was my concern. He was out of there quick too. I was talking to my brother who tore his ACL 2x and he said the way klay was describing what happened with his hands to the trainer is the exact same thing he told his doctor both times. I really hope it's not serious for him though

West is officially WIDE OPEN


1) trade everybody for AD
2) go into free agency pitches with LeBron and AD alone and try and convince either kawhi or kyrie to come here.

BOOM

Kawhi and Kyrie ain't coming.

We gotta convince Jimmy Butler or Kemba to come, if they get rid of everybody for AD that may be enough. I'm sure you can get some ring chasers.

The west ain't wide open

I'd say it's as open as it's been in a long time. I don't believe in Houston at all. There's Denver and Portland at the top and then not much else that are threats. Assuming Klay and KD both are hurt/gone.

 

[Lizakers]

Klay will be back for training camp. He was walking nearly without a limp

Probably small ACL tear or strain

GS HOU DEN POR will be tough again next year

 

[DLF]

The west ain't wide open

Oh ya. I forgot about the mighty blazers and nuggets. Man that Jamal Murray is a killer!

Kawhi during his press conference - "We all know who my preferred team was."

the conference he just had right now?

 

[DLF]

If I’m the Lakers I offer Masai ujiri a bunch money. Fire Pelinka

Trade everyone for AD

Go into FA meetings with AD LeBron and Ujiri. Have Jeanie stop by to say hi.

But reality will be a team of:

LeBron and a handful of shooters we trade our youngsters for when we strike out on AD and all the FAs

 

[tonelow]

the conference he just had right now?

Yup.

Someone asked him if to go back to when he first got traded and if the Raptors was on his preferred list.

 

[drewsone]

hmmmm.. interesting. will try not to get too hung up on it tho

Glad the finals are over so we can finalize the Anthony Davis trade. I really believe that Adam Silver wouldn't let an Anthony Davis trade go down in the middle of the Finals

 

[MVP]

It's going to burn when Kawhi is a damn Clipper

 

[atlsfinest]

 

[Los Angeles]

Welcome to the Lakers Kawhi

 

[fayetnam]

With the wizards pursuing Masai, y’all think they make a move without an answer from Masai? Apparently the wizards (and hawks) are interested in being the 3rd team for the AD deal.. but I wonder if they will be more hesitant parting with Beal prematurely in case Masai wants to keep him or has other plans. Thing is the trade is very time sensitive so they may not know of Masai’s decision til after

 

[tay1]

Exactly. **** will likely stay the same in the West except for the Lakers improving their position somewhat.

 

[D_eezus]

Klay 100% staying

 

[MVP]

Hate it for Klay but yea. **** it. Time to go all in on AD for sure now.

 

[JCMojica24]

No KD and Klay the Lakers gotta make this move NOW. West is up for grabs.

 

[thasoleful1]

Need to get Kawhi and AD. Someone’s gotta take a pay cut.
