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

[grittyman]

This team is 2-3 players away. And one of em should be an All-Star caliber type 2-way player

Sure that would be nice lol but realistically I think even a mid level talent SF would do wonders for this team. A player who can fill in minutes at the 3 or 4 with or next to AD and LeBron is the perfect fit.

Seems to me that these are the guys Ham trusts - AD, Bron, Russ, Reaves, Walker, Dennis, Bev, Wenyen. If you can replace Pat from this group with a true wing, maybe add a solid back center who can defend/rebound, push Wenyen to like the 9th/10th spot in the rotation and I think they might have something interesting.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Patrick Beverley and Dennis Schroder are starters in 2022.





Who cares about all the other ****. Make a trade and get some appreciable talent.

 

[Lizakers]

When’s the last time we won a game where we had a furious comeback?

And a 3-3 road trip doesn’t help when we started 8-12. We need to make up ground. Especially with BOS coming and a tough month. 4-2 was within our grasp smh

 

[DLF]

Can you believe Lebron won’t make the all star team this year.

Ain’t winning anything unless Bron and AD are dominant yet one of the two isn’t even an all star this year.

Season starts next year

 

[grittyman]

Would be pretty much on brand for Pelinka to give up a first for a guy he already on the roster but if that’s what it takes so be it…

 

[pmatic]

Kuz pretty much told Pelinka to not trade for him earlier this week.

Trading for Kuz would be so stupid.

So I guess I should expect it...

 

[Dhizzle]

Why yall stuck w kuzma? Dude is ben simmons 1.0
Spooked under pressure and needs the ball to be “dominant”. We need miles and buddy damnmit

I don't think anyone is saying we should trade for Kuz....

I only bring it up bc I think it could be a realistic target, but it’s also not something that I would lose a second of sleep over.

Why do you think its a bad move?

 

[Dhizzle]

What we dont need is lebron guarding embiid, flanked with 6’1” guards and 6’4” forwards. We need big meaty men!

Just posted last page what I thought the team needed…a small forward and a backup center.

Some people are still saying the team needs Buddy Hield… I know it was a slow start but I’m fine with the guard play from Lonnie, Austin, and Russ off the bench.

Tired of seeing Pat Bev guarding 3’s (or playing at all) and Troy Brown at the 4

i see guzman trying realhard to secure the bag from the lakers in the offseason

 

[grittyman]

What is Kuz…like 27 maybe? Probably his last opportunity at a major bag so he’s supposed to try and secure it.

Hell, mans took a discount to play for a contender and then got traded…

Thanks Rob!

 

[noblekane]

tomorrow is a must win man

better be all hands on deck

Sunday early game dont bet on it.

Definitely need to finish 3-3

 

[darthska]

Averaging 20 a game with a similar record sssoooo...

I mean do you, Kyle. Wizards. That's the ticket. Big things happening over there, absolutely. Big things. 20 a night.

Again, not a Reddish fan. But at least he is 6'8 and terrible instead of being 6'2 and terrible.

I mean. They trade a super conditional first for him (really is 2 second rounders) so expecting anything more, after never playing him and having be your 15th man is hilarious

 

[Lizakers]

Reddish went to Duke
Duke is where Kobe would’ve played if he went to college
Duke was coached by Coach K
Coach K was close to Kobe
Jeanie and Pelinka love Kobe

Reddish to Lakers confirmed
