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

Darren Collison isn't "coming off the couch".... dude has said he's kept himself training & in NBA shape this entire time. This is no different than a player coming off an injury.

Also DC wouldn't be a savior, he would be another valuable piece who can playmake and is a elite Catch & shoot guy.
 
Yall gotta stop acting like DC was the answer anyway.

my guy is coming off the couch and y’all expecting him to put us over the top?

nah.

It's more the fact that Rondo wil be getting significant playoff minutes and he's pretty much been our worst player this season that gets significant minutes.
 
I dunno, I see this team playing exactly the same way with DC. Don’t see him really changing much aside from facilitating a little more than rondo maybe scoring a couple points here and there.....

But this dood is 6 foot tall with shoes on, hes going to be the exact same cone on defense as rondo and run into the same obstacles on offense....

not sure what yall seeing, I would rather have vogel give cook rondos minutes
 
That's a huge pick up for the Clippers. They were able to keep Shamet and add another perimeter threat.

I'm concerned about our chances this year, in all honesty.

Same here. Lebron is still going to eat a bulk of those minutes come playoff time and I still have a bit of faith that when everything slows down. Rondo will have a far more defined role.
 
I get the concerns about DC, but it’s almost become a keep away battle between us and Clippers. If we don’t sign him he’s gonna be with the Clippers.
 
Clips depth is serious and they have legit 4 guys to throw at Lebron it's going to be a tall order to beat them without some buyout help. Bron and AD will have to play their A+ games for 4 games in order to beat them.

They’ve always had 4 guys to throw at Bron

The biggest thing is Bron has to guard someone now. You can hide him on harkless, cant do that with morris.

I think you're best bet against the clips is to switch a lot and force them to finish over you with tough shots. They really kill you with guys like beverly and Patterson hitting 3s.
 
Morris def more troublesome than Mo
At this point I hope they have some locker room dysfunction lmao

Yes. I said it before, an athletic defensive wing should've been their priority. Now they're going to face the Clippers, Bucks and to a lower extent the Nuggets- undersized and slow.

Clippers already had their number, the addition of Morris erases their chances of beating a team that has great ISO players, grit and deadly beyond the arc.
