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

[brownmamba]

now all we need is for crypto.com to buy the lakers from jeanie

Jeanie will NEVER sell her familys empire

The BUSS family will run the LAKERS for life

I can't believe it took me a long time to finally get a Shaquille O'Neal jersey since I'm a Lakers fan. He will always be a Lakers legend and a significant part of their lore, so it was only right for me to have a Shaq jersey in my possession. I hope to get other variations of Lakers jerseys of him as long as I can get a favorable deal.

The funny thing is I actually had the Nike version of a Lakers Shaq authentic jersey in the late '90s when they got the NBA license in the 1997-98 season. I recall Nike Lakers authentic jerseys in this style were saturated in stores around L.A. I have no idea why I didn't keep mine.

Shaq and Kobe tandem could've should've would've won at least more than 6 Championships together


their enormous EGOS destroyed it and BTW RIP KobeBean

Just hoping everybody is available to play tonight.

Bobby Marks proposed the following trade:

Russell Westbrook and 2027 lotto protected pick for Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier and Alec Burks.

I would remove the 2027 pick, and swap Burks for Nerlens Noel (awkward, yes).

AD should be ready locked and loaded for the postseason

NO MORE INJURIES please

Embiid was too big for him to handle

That's why I've been saying all season long that the lakers need a center big time

Who's bright idea was it to have a Saturday night in Miami and Atlanta during this road trip?

 

[MVP]

Oh great. Knew it was too much to ask.

 

[king j]

My opinion is they are going to scapegoat a suit.

Steve Kerr is a "great" coach. He went to 5 straight NBA Finals.

Year 6, he went 15-50. Did he forget how to coach? Did he lose his touch? Or does his roster matter?

NOW, he's back to being a "great" coach. He's 36-13. He must be coaching so much better than 2 years ago.......

Speaking of 2 years ago, Vogel won the NBA Championship. Now, he's a .500 coach. Shoot, he must have forgot how to coach. Roster? Pfffff, rosters don't matter.

*Goes to look at Greg Popovich's record the last few years.......* Well, will ya look at that, 3 straight losing seasons for Greg. He must have forgot how to "rotate"......

Like I said, fire him, let someone else come in, everyone will be blaming him by the 3rd quarter of his 4th game, rinse, repeat, etc etc until magically our roster is stronger and we start winning, and "rotations" won't be the same.

Phil was elite, because of his rotations.......

I don't wanna see Handy coach next year because that means this season went up in flames. But I do wanna see Handy coach next year

[CP1708]

Now do Luke Walton

No prob.

Please see Luke Walton record coaching the GSW roster

Could see them hiring Handy when they mutually part with Vogel this summer. Surround him with a veteran staff like they did Vogel the first years.

Luke Walton Will Not Get Credited with Warriors Wins as Interim Head Coach

Golden State Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton has led the team to an NBA record-setting 19-0 start, but the record books will not reflect that fact. According to NBA...

Y’all do realize the laker management are extra sensitive about optics. For those reasons they won’t fire Vogel. Too many media members came to his defense for them to make a move. They will blame injuries (which is partly true- along with poor off balanced roster, bad coaching, bad play by stars when they were in like AD, expected crappy play by low IQ stupid idiotic dress wearing pg)
