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

[tupac003]

Lebron has pretty much gotten everything he and Klutch has wanted.

Rob says no a move that wouldn't even help us in the long run and now he wants to send all of these passive aggressive stories and leak this nonsense to the media...

Just go. Thanks for the 2020 chip. Good luck in your journey. But we don't need this circus....

 

[noblekane]

media and the nba (owners, silver, and agents) never liked rich paul in the first place. and we all know why.

now they got the full court press on that man now that hes ******* a famous rich white woman.

add that to them wanting to see the lakers fail so bad.

lebron retiring a laker and they just cant stand it.

stop believing the bull ****.

Maybe he’s mad that Rob didn’t make a move at all? It’s one thing to say no to LeBron that’s fine, but okay what’s your backup plan?

As a GM if you’re not trying to improve this team and I’m 37 then you’re not doing the job you’re paid to do

 

[geno90221]

Pelinka is only here cause of Kobe
Magic was ready to fire him after 1 season

What move was there to make? They tried to improve the team in the offseason at the behest of Bron. It hasn't worked out. Trying to strong arm them to trade for Wall for what exactly?

 

[Lizakers]

Lebron is not going to go to the Sacramentos of the world

Who will he want to be traded to?

Cleveland - Akron kid, history
Miami - history, vets ready to win
Phx - Chris Paul, finals experience
GSW - contenders, experience
Milwaukee - champs
Brooklyn - experienced vets with championships
Philly - ready to win

Who else?

Those teams above are really going to change their culture 180 degrees and trade for Lebron? As great as he is. Those teams are mostly set in their identity and have a formula, getting Lebron changes everything from Xs and Os, to who gets the ball, to the locker room

What moves do you expect the team to make when they have NO assets?

Make it make sense.

Bron wanted westbrook and that killed what depth and tradable players we had.

What other moves were out there?

They hated Mark Cuban too, and he’s Russian/Romanian. Owners just hate young money changing the status quo and shaking things up

Sarver cheap as hell. But maybe he'd roll the dice on a Bron x CP0 x Booker trio so he doesn't have to invest long term in Ayton and Cam.

I'll take it.

 

[noblekane]

remember when they said we were the worst fanbase?

now we want to trade top 3 player of all time, the only reason we won a title, and the only reason worth watching this team the past 4 years? because of he say she say in the media?

 

[DLF]

Here’s what’s gonna happen

Lebron will ride out his deal and then see who has the best chance to win the year after and go to that team. If it’s lakers, he will resign on a 1+1. If not, he won’t.

We have all watched the demise of Lebron led teams....

Are they gonna trade him, probably not and we all know that,

But remember the Bron to LA stuff was he say she say as well...and what happened?

I'm just sick of the circus. is what it is.

He's not the only reason we won the chip. Stop it.

Outside of that 2020 run how has his tenure given how good of a player he still is been anything to write home about? We in serious danger of missing the playoffs 2 outta the last 4 seasons he's been here and when AD went down last year we got blown off the floor. And now all this nonsense that just isn't rooted in fact at all when you look at what the Lakers have done or tried to do. Bron only cares about Bron that's been apparent from the moment he took his talents to South Beach. There's a path of organizational destruction left every time he decides to exit.

Who do you think is putting out these stories? Who has a well documented history of this particular type of behavior?

 

[Lizakers]

It’s playing out the way we all knew it would the summer he signed. We knew he will do this. The exit has been messy everywhere he’s left

We knew the exit would be unceremonious. Time to be grateful and say goodbye

 

[DLF]

I can see Lebron wanting to go to the suns. Team up with Cp3 and booker. Plus his BFF james jones is there too. It will all depend on what type of offers are out there for Westbrook this summer.

Lol at lebron playing the victim in all this

 

[grittyman]

I mean how many times is the Athletic going to repost the same content? By the same people at that...smh

Here's how this will go down...

The Lakers will offer Lebron a 2 year extension this summer, he will either take the money or he won't. Worst case if the Lakers don't do anything to improve the squad then his last two years will kinda be similar to the KB farewell tour. I suppose he'll do a 1 plus 1 but if he does't sign anything at all then the writing is on the wall.

Or

They will offer extension and he will decline it to put pressure on lakers.

If they make huge trade that has them super successful, he will sign a 1+1 after next year. The (+1) will be to motivate lakers to draft Bronny.

If they can’t get off Russ and roster still looks like garbage, he will ask for a trade.

 

[MVP]

Actually hope he declines the extension, makes things a lot more straightforward. Get off his and Russ' money one way or another after next season. No need to prolong this farce.

 

[Lizakers]

This all depends on what we do with Russ, the guy Lebron wanted. You can’t make this stuff up

 

[DLF]

I’m team trade. Draw your lines. Make it official.

Appreciate the title. Let’s get something back for lebron and AD.

 

[Lizakers]

Took some of you guys a minute to come around

Always sell high and plan for the future when you realize a title is out of reach in the near term

Make other moves
That’s your job as a GM we have seen several GMs trade bums and end up with a solid player. Rob won’t even be here in 2027 most likely so trade the damn pick
