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

[lovehateself]

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....

riles 2.0 gonna banish him like they did moses out of egypt
in rob we trust

thanks lbj for delivering a chip, im still gonna buy a 23 jersey as soon as it hits the discount rack
but you made your bed

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

What GM's are trading vet minimum guys/bums for a solid player?

Nobody wants THT. Russ makes too much money to facilitate a trade mid season and we have one pick. There's nothing to trade. Isn't the objective of making a move to improve the team. What exactly was sorry *** John Wall going to do?

 

[Lizakers]

Like Jay Z said everyday a star is born

We had a nice run, clap for him

A 39 year old not carrying us to a chip as the best player

31-32 year old AD isn’t the one to build around after Lebron

We had a 2-3 year window, front office botched it and injuries killed us. At least we won 1 chip

no picks
no assets
vets nobody wants
no roster spots

again, bought out players werent coming here to contend for the play in

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.

Have you been kidnapped and are trying to let us know?

Forgot to mention the 1+1 will be for a vet minimum

 

[pmatic]

 

[grittyman]

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.

I don't think fundamentally what we're saying is that much different, so you and I are on the same page (for once? ) buddy...

It's basically the same choice that a lot of stars who are extension eligible/potential free agents have to make towards the end of their deals....Harden, Beal, Kyrie, etc

Either lock up the money, use what leverage you have while you have to pressure the front office to make moves, or bounce.

Only thing about this situation w/ Lebron is the only team I can see him leaving LA for is back to Cle or maaaaybe a darkhorse Miami Heat...def not some random bandwagon team.

Season not even over yet. Ya'll gon be double stressed until the offseason

 

[ShoeGameBoss]

He might go to the Knicks with Bronny.

 

[akajae]

This is why you get Russ.

man that's gonna go down as the dumbest move ever.

Season starts Friday at 7:30. Ends at 10 when the Clippers beat us lol

Nope

NBA off season is probably the best thing about the NBA.

We good...

 

[ShoeGameBoss]

Russ about to ball

 

[lovehateself]

We good...

play in mode activated

 

[DLF]

I can’t even get myself to think of a fantasy situation where we get super hot and go on this huge run. I’ve been so scarred by the players on the team that It just won’t register in my head to think of a #webelieve moment. All I picture is tht missing open 3s, Russ missing defensive assignements, Lebrun half trying on D, AD rolling his ankle…Vogel vogeling lol

 

[goldmember]

russ lowkey playing good this past few games.. just limit the bricks

 

[Lizakers]

Just limit the bricks. Simple as that lol

 

[noblekane]

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.

klutch made your dreams come true you got russ on the lakers for a season and got to wear an authentic russ laker jersey for a season and this the thanks they get?

 

[noblekane]

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

yea because this franchises track record for planning for the future is so stellar lol

 

[noblekane]

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

really?

lebron is the reason we beat the heat in the finals

you remember scary *** ad in the finals?

me neither.

Bron been an all NBA player every year he's been here. Yet the only time we've had a run is when AD went beast mode for a season/playoffs. Do you think that's a coincidence? You forgot how dominant that man was for 14 games in the playoffs? Just stop it.
