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

[mr j 858]

Man we really messin around trying to blow this game tonight

 

[drewsone]

I've got Bron as MVP of this team by about like... 80/20
AD DPOY hands down tho lol for the team and league

 

[tupac003]

I owe KCP the biggest apology...his shooting as of late..wow.

 

[drewsone]

bruh what has been up with Danny Green lol
he been cold since the 2nd week of Nov (for his standards)

 

[mr j 858]

Danny Green man.

Can we get a refund on his contract

 

[tupac003]

Hate that we couldn't get free load management but I'll always take the win.

 

[mr j 858]

AD back to being damaged goods again

 

[had pants]

 

[tonelow]

Short handed on the road against a young team that's been playing well. No complaints.

 

[pmatic]

Bron calling Rondo "Do" is terrible.

 

[nermindee]

probably the most "Eh" game they played this year... time to reset and forget about this ugly win

 

[MajinZuub]

Reports are saying that Vogel will be using lots of Dudley tonight. For those of you that creamed your pants for the Dudley signing, just think of a game when the lakers will have to rely on that fat ***. Imagine having a real player like Jeff green instead at the same money.

Bron calling Rondo "Do" is terrible.

The all call Rondo that lol

 

[tupac003]

Dudley was actually ok. Horrible ejection though.

Someone nailed it. Kuz has become an iso face up player or spot up shooter this year in this offense

we need him diving off ball and getting all those paint buckets, as well as transition opportunities.....to mix it up. Can’t just be a 3 point shooter

Exactly this.

Kuzma needs to be Matrix. He can do it too, if he works hard at maximizing his skill set.

Matrix was a threat from deep, especially that corner 3. Kuzma can be that.

Marion was an expert cutter, slasher, and often a recipient of Nash's assists. I can see the same with Lebron and Kuzma connection.

Marion was an 8 reb per game career guy, and was a beast on the offensive boards because he knew how to move without the ball and get in position. I can see Kuz being this type of player.

Lastly, Marion would dunk on fools in transition because of his athleticism. Kuzma has shown flashes of this on the break as well.

Defensively, Marion could block 1.5 shots a game and was well respected. If Kuz works on his defense and learns from AD, Green, and AB, he too will become a solid defender because he has the tools. After all, Kuz has shown he can block 3 shots in one quarter.

Marion's career stats:

 

[drewsone]

My guy delusional is on-brand with the take tho lol

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

90% of Danny Green's contribution and contract doesn't kick in til the playoffs. Relax guys, he is worth every penny.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

When we play the Bucks the matchup I cant wait to see is Carushow vs DiVincenzo.

DD is their Energizer and momentum shifter off the bench for MIL. Dude is an absolute baller defensively and has a similar impact on his team as Caruso does for LAL. He will be a problem as he continues to get better.

 

[drewsone]

speaking of caruso i like the confidence hes starting to show in his 3pt shooting

 

[reconic supreme]

90% of Danny Green's contribution and contract doesn't kick in til the playoffs. Relax guys, he is worth every penny.

he's having a pretty typical year so it's not like he's bad or anything

his main value still lies in the little things like using his bbiq in plays and his help defense that disrupts the opposition

 

[pmatic]

Kuz wishes he was Matrix.

 

[drewsone]

yeah if Kuz even becomes half of Matrix or LO it's a wrap lol

also KCP up to 39.7% shooting from the arc

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Alex CARUSO to the Knicks for Elford Payton is a move that can be made

ban this dood

Good game. Dudley came through surprisingly. Next one will be super tough though. At Miami is all but a guarenteed L. Place your bets. Miami is rolling right now.

Mia by 16. Lakers look tired unfortunately. Need kuz and rondo back.
