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

[dhart48]

I'm just happy the season is back
I'll assess this team at the 10 game mark

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

We bettnot be 9-11 after 20

 

[vood99]

If it's any consolation, my home town Raptors had to take down a Zion-less NOLA in OT and we're at full health.

Kuz should (in theory) alleviate some of the problems after game 1.

 

[Lizakers]

tupac003 just saying, the optics are that PG went to OKC after he found out Lebron is coming to LA.....Kawhi chose the clippers rather than play with the “goat”......the optics are that both those players turned down Lebron regardless of whether it’s true that’s what it looks like. Would’ve been nice to see Lebron play hard and send them a message but maybe he’s just pacing himself

 

[drewsone]

Optics are there's a circus that comes with playing with Bron and not many people tryna deal with that because it's true lmao

[tupac003]

We may not win friday but if we don't win Sunday and Tuesday, we got issues.

 

[Lizakers]

Should win all 3.....Friday is the home opener these guys should be fired up!

 

[tupac003]

I'll be there tuesday....they better win. Lol

I’ve got a 20% off unique coupon code for the online Lakers Store that I’m not planning on using. It expires in one month (11/23). If anyone is interested,.... first person to PM me get it.

EDIT: GIVEN OUT

 

[whoaitsgee]

Also the more I watch Bron play the more I appreciate the greatness of Kobe Bean Bryant!!!

this. Especially after being spurned by Kawhi and PG. both basically didn’t wanna play “LebronBall” and Lebron tried to recruit Kawhi and got rejected

you would think Lebron would wanna show out against them opening night. But he ain’t no dog

He tried. He’s just not the same Lebron. He can’t finished, he can’t elevate. We’ve seen this happen from great players time and time again.

Father time has simply taken its course and it’s bound to get worse next year.

kobe was washed and still wanted to guard steph full court. He was old and wanted to D up Klay.....and Wade and Lebron in the ASG and Lebron in Cleveland . It’s a mentality thing. Dare I say....mamba mentality lol

Absolutely! Kobe is an OG killer. It doesn’t matter if he’s old or injured. He accepts the challenge. Meanwhile Lebron always wants to take the easy path. It’s so hard watching him wear the purple and gold armor. He doesn’t feel like a Laker and frankly NEVER will. Just like Payton and Malone back in 2004. I know it won’t happen but I wouldn’t mind if the Lakers trade Lebron before his contract runs out.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Right on schedule with the Kobe vs LeBron talk

 

[tupac003]

Laker thread. There will always be Kobe talk.

[doscinco]

Lakers gotta take advantage of the Oct-Nov part of the schedule

 

[krazyrodzilla]

Yeah, we have easy Schedule should be no worse than 16-4.

 

[whoaitsgee]

Just don't understand the vitriol against Lebron. He brought over AD and still plays for your team now. I'd personally support anyone wearing a Lakers jersey, always has and will .....with KCP being the exception to my own rule lol

 

[p0se1d0n]

Hearing from someone who works within the organization that Kuz could be back by either the Spurs road game or the following road game at Chicago.

..you mean twitter?

“He’s going to the Lakers. I’ve had four different players tell me that. Every player I talk to tells me that.”

No. Someone who works in their equipment dept. I don’t even know who that twitter guy is tbh.
