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

[thasoleful1]

Drummond is a great rebounder, blocker? Eh. That being said I’ll give up Trez

 

[MajinZuub]

What do the options look like if you don't sign him? If it's a situation where you wouldn't really open up cap space anyway I think I'd sign him and look to potentially trade him in the summer

I don't remember the exact quote but didn't he basically say this will probably be his only year with the team because of his contract situation?

 

[reconic supreme]

Good he sittin' and thank god he not out for the season.

Could've been a lot worse, but gotta weather the storm and be careful. Still, a serious injury so gotta take care of it.

 

[MajinZuub]

Rest him for like a month or more

durant had the same diagnosis before he tore that achilles, right?

 

[Lizakers]

More minutes for Dwight and Javale. We’ll be fine

 

[thasoleful1]

Not torn that’s always good news. Gotta play it smart, I think KD had something similar prior to injury

 

[MajinZuub]

More minutes for Dwight and Javale. We’ll be fine

Think they can survive 2/3 weeks without him. Home court means jack this year anyhow.

 

[tupac003]

Yeah Dwight and Javele would have been nice, but now the team knows they need to get help at the 5.

Hopefully the buyout market is half way decent. I don't see us making a trade. Long term we will be fine.

I think it's 9 games until the break. 5-4 in that time is fine. Hell 4-5 is fine in that time frame.

 

[reconic supreme]

Just break even in the time AD is out and I think we good.

They 4-1 without him already this year.

I think against the big guns like Nets and Jazz, it'll be extremely tough to beat them. But there's enough cushion for LA not to fall dramatically in the standings in the near future.

 

[reconic supreme]

Lakers make it official, MRI showed he clean but they gonna take their time with him

 

[yobyellav]

I’m one more finger of scotch from saying sit him til the playoffs.

 

[sohi 23]

“Not ruptured”

Lmao if y’all don’t sit this Man until April...

 

[thasoleful1]

All Dwight had to do was be patient in FA and he coulda had a solidified role on this team

I still don't understand why he got scared. From what I understand he was actually going to get a bit more than the vet min from us too, they just had to wait.

[tupac003]

Rumor is Mo Bamba is on our radar...

The kids have grown up. No way we were gonna wait this long for them to figure it out.

 

[pmatic]

So random to have a one off in Minnesota then fly back home for three games.

KAT is going to have Gasol in hell tonight.

 

[tupac003]

We need Lavine

Need?
