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

[tatayniDarna]

man, i can believe we have 3 monsters down low.

this lakers team will bring bully ball back lol

^seruously? AD wanted out. He wasn’t resigning. They got the best offer they were ever gonna get. 2 young studs. 1 good bench piece and 18 first round picks for the next 17 years. Not bad. Oh and the 4th pick in the draft

 

[tupac003]

The Pelicans messed up. If it's true that we were giving them everything at the deadline and they didn't take it...

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Yup, they had the entire young core plus kcp at the deadline but declined lmao. That's why their gm got fired shortly thereafter lol

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Imagine Magic on steroids running with a prime Hakeem/DRobinson clone who can shoot 3s.

That's Lebron and AD

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Only the first preseason game but some good signs. A lot of the things you were hoping to see, you saw. AD and Bron PB and J. Bradley making Steph work. Dwight erasing dudes on screens. Caruso picking up right where he left off. Daniels was better than I expected. Not worried about rondo, he'll play his way out the rotation by opening night. The rondo/Bron unit was able to hold the lead. The rondo/AD unit was blowing it, Caruso should fit a lot better with that group

Imagine Magic on steroids running with a prime Hakeem/DRobinson clone who can shoot 3s.

That's Lebron and AD

Magic and Cap with ages reversed

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Rondo's rightful place is on the bench wearing a suit and holding a clipboard. Caruso needs his minutes

 

[Zo gif]

Rondo is so bad
Dwight missed alot of easy shots in the 2nd
Hopefully it's just rust

 

[moonman818]

Basically they are who we thought they were

let’s hope Caruso manages to take Rondo’s time.

Just finished the game:
First half was weird. Not sure why rondo player like 15 straight minutes I know it’s only preseason but why not mix it up. Put Caruso in there with starting lineup minus Bradley to see how it looks. Then run ad at center for 2 minutes. It was just bad one pass possession play after play with rondo orchestrating everything. Few open 3s for Green. Hard to guage

Second half: Caruso was a man amongst boys. Not saying much given the competition but he was just floating out there in full control. Made some super nice and smart passes. Dwight looked good. He’s super rusty. Between McGee and eight they had like 18 and 22 or so. Kuz will help get rondo out which is great. Otherwise an injury to rondo may be our only savior. Rondo not playing second half wasn’t reassuring bc that means Vogel sees him as a “main guy”

[VinMillerHearn58]

Finally got around to watch the game. AD is a freaking monster, and he was doing all that without his jumper falling. Cacock is also a beast. Dude is just nonstop, hope he gets a roster spot on our GLeague team.
