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

[tatayniDarna]

not necessarily... other teams can pick up noah, speights, faried... and if it doesnt work out with Dwight, we dont have a back up.

i wish the clips would pick up speights or faried instead of waiting on other potential buyouts.


faried, montrezl and zubes vs AD, dwight and Javale? id love to see that.

 

[Lizakers]

Dwights a clown

F it

Limited minutes to get some boards blocks and dunks/layups

What’s the issue?

precisely.

faried has always been a shaky defender, its the reason why his role has diminished for the past few years.

i hope the clips picks him up

he deserves another chance as a laker. unlike kobe, lebron's a bit more personable so im going to guess the transition will be easier this time around.

he's a laker now, time to support the guy.

 

[orsrt8]

He's a Laker now so Lakers fans that still hate him have no choice but to support him. They'll be cheering in no time once he starts blocking shots and throwing down lobs.

 

[pmatic]

He's going to get booed every home game.

[leavemeglazzies]

Idk how I feel about this

Would you rather have Joakim Noah perhaps?

 

[orsrt8]

Another thing you have to think about is what if he signed with the Clippers and it turned out really well? Would have to play him 4 times and in the playoffs. You know fans would be complaining...talking about why didn't we sign him...

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Expect the worst and prepare for the worst. Anything beyond that is a bonus

 

[tatayniDarna]

Howard and Briscoe then talked about reaching out to someone with the Lakers whom Howard shared a mutual close respect: Assistant coach Jason Kidd. Howard and Kidd played together on USA Basketball in 2007, and again for the Olympic gold medal squad in 2008. They had a solid relationship and mutual respect from their battles in the NBA.

Then came fate.

After the Lakers and Briscoe were given permission to seek the opportunity by the Grizzlies, Howard and Kidd were able to connect in person, league sources told The Athletic. They discussed life, their playing days together, the possibility of Howard joining the Lakers.

aw **** here we go again

 

[tupac003]

Crazy part I just wore my old D12 jersey to the gym today...

I'm good with it. A back up that can defend and rebound. It's what we need and if he does more...cool.

 

[goldmember]

SMH

Cant really be mad about the non guaranteed contract tho. Why other teams wont do that melo too..?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

It's better than signing Melo and unfortunately Boogie went down so we had to pick up somebody.

Only by KOBE stans.

Which is a army

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Dwert coming back is fine I guess. The other guys were Noah, and Gortat right?

 

[tatayniDarna]

dwight has hit rock bottom, non guaranteed contract backing up javale? lol come on now, those are terms usually reserved for g-league/10 day contract players.

lakers got themselves a damn good deal because I really believe he'll make it work this time.

 

[CP1708]

Now just need Memphis to do the right thing and oop us Iggy.

If not, go'head and bring Melo in.

 

[DLF]

Damn I wish I woulda bought a Howard jersey when it went on sale years ago

Maybe I should cop a Lonzo ball jersey for 20 bucks at Champs

 

[DLF]

Now just need Memphis to do the right thing and oop us Iggy.

If not, go'head and bring Melo in.

No more roster spots

 

[tatayniDarna]

if dwight is really healthy and in great shape, how are they gonna justify keeping him on the bench? i can't imagine javale outplaying dwight in practice

 

[nermindee]

Im also not believing any little details woj is throwing out there... ive learned from this summer not to trust sports media
