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

[DLF]

When does the trade become official?

Rachel Nichols said it will be official July 6...BUT doesn’t that mean we can sign someone outright July 1st and THEN trade for AD

 

[DLF]

Hilarious that espn just said “this was a great haul for the pelicans. This is what you brought David griffin here for...”

Uhhh Dell Demps had a better deal in feb and turned it down lol

Same deal minus Kuz and Zubac. AND we were gonna take back Soloman hill

 

[purpnyellow]

If we don’t win and AD leaves after this season

 

[tatayniDarna]

we've seen what lack of depth could do to any top heavy teams.

$75,221,858 in salary cap allocated for next season for 5 players (LeBron, AD, Kuzma, Wagner, & Bonga)

$34 million or so could net you PLENTY of ring chasing vets.

ed davis
javale
ricky rubio
bogdanovic
pat beverly
tolliver
lance
bullock
seth curry
ian clark
vonleh
austin rivers
quin cook
kanter

 

[Lizakers]

Now watch we fire Vogel and promote Kidd lol

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Now we know why they traded Zubac at the deadline. Ain't no way Zu would get minutes knowing that AD was eventually coming.

 

[drewsone]

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

 

[DLF]

I hear y’all about getting a rounded out team but come on. If u can get kawhi or kyrie. It’s over

 

[drewsone]

Kuz smart. He started sipping wine with Bron and got to stay

If you can get Kyrie or Kawhi you 10000% do it idc

 

[goldmember]

I just want to say


F Popovich!!

 

[DLF]

What do I do with this now? Make one of those fire videos?

From this list I like Javale, Seth, Bullock or Bogdanovic, and Beverley.

Bogdanovic might be overpriced though

 

[htg designs]

Just got up from my nap. It's lit. Like that Kuz was kept. He was he one who performed he best out the gate. The others were projects with potential and ain't nobody had time for that.

Man **** all that. Lebron and AD >>>>> **** them kids.

Bron, is that you?

LA is officially back. The writings on the wall, other players know Lakers are favs now for the chip due to GState unjurus so I wonder who gone holla just to be down wit the set.

I like kemba, but only as a plan c, Kawhi and Jimmy first. Then kemba, then Kyrie, only cus of injury history. Gotta have ppl available to play. GState show health is wealth.

 

[Lizakers]

Linda and Jeanie celebrating tonight.

Linda might need Kurt’s goggles

 

[three6mafia2007]

I want no parts of Kyrie Irving. Would rather have Kemba

 

[thasoleful1]

We did it guys. Best feeling in the world right now.

 

[WAKKO!]

I want Rubio to be our pg

bog is definitely on my list this summer but he's rumored to be looking at $15 per yr. he's definitely worth it but im not sure with kuz on board playing essentially the same position, this is why I wanted to keep lonzo so bad. zo is almost a perfect fit because he doesn't need to score but he fills so much of the lakers need with ad/bron on board which is perimeter and help defense + the ability to run plays.

overall an excellent trade but had they kept zo and traded kuzma, i'd consider it a homerun of a deal.

 

[purpnyellow]

Rubio would be solid

 

[Lizakers]

We did it guys. Best feeling in the world right now.

Now ditch that avy and put up the dodgers logo and you’ll feel even better

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

We need a two-way guard now that Hart gone.

Butler instantly tops my list because he satisfies three important things now that we have a Big 2.
1. He is perfectly content not being the alpha because he's been in the league long enough to know he is a 3rd option on a team with a Big 3.
2. He is ultra clutch and is a big time threat in crunch time
3. He plays excellent D, has a mid range game, and can score from anywhere.

Lebron, A.D., Jimmy....let's do it.

 

[drewsone]

1000% FAs will be willing to take paycuts
This can go a lot of ways
I want Klaw or Kyrie tho

Also
Does Bron be nice and let AD rock 23?
Bron bring back 6?

 

[dhart48]

lol I was a young core guy just because I thought we were such a disaster, I mean we overcame A LOT and this deal still gets done???

Crazy how much hate we get and still overcome it all to come out on top and get the deal

I want to hear the bitterness is Pop's voice, I hope they but that ****** all summer long about this ****

 

[MVP]

I'm getting bottles somewhere tonight if anybody wants to shoot thru.
