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

That'll put an end to any rumor about Kuz coming to LA. He ain't worth the money imo. I'd take PJ Washington over Kuz
Huh?

He played 40 minutes, 22 & 16 on 50% shooting.

TB with 16 and 10 tonight.

Might want to run Jones with Russ in the 2nd unit for a bunch of lobs.

I doubt Bron plays tomorrow.
 

Oh, it's going to be super fun seeing this get posted by all these pseudo-analytical Jordan Stans who hate Lebron and Kobe Stans who hate Lebron. "What he REALLY meant was..."

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

We might have another asset in the Bulls' second round pick to shop or keep. Should be in the 35-40 range the way things are going.

Question - So the Lakers can't trade a FRP until 2027 because they have a swap with NO in 2023 then NOP owns their 2024 or 2025 and you can't trade consecutive FRPs....but based on it being 2027 that assumes they traded their 2025 FRP.

If for whatever reason the NOP pick were to convey in 2024 would they be able to trade the 2025 pick (instead of 2027 if they still own it) beginning summer 2024?
 
I'm interested in what comes out today about AD.

Seems like these reports about him being out a month or multiple weeks might have been premature.

Ham said AD saw some doc's sunday night and info would come out today.

As of right now, they can only trade away 2027 and 2029 first round picks. They can't trade 2023 because of the Stepien Rule and can't do anything with 2024/2025 because New Orleans controls those picks and hasn't notified which year they are taking.

If they wait until draft night in June, they could trade 2023 (New Orleans), 2027 and 2029. They could also do 2026 and 2028 first round pick swaps.

Ahhh okay, I didn't fully understand the rule. They would be able to trade 2026 instead of 2027 though, right (not that it is a huge enticement for any trade partners)?

Nah, not right now because New Orleans has yet to decide whether they want to take the 2024 or 2025 first round pick. So the Lakers can't trade away 2026 because New Orleans may want 2025 instead of 2024. And can't trade away two consecutive first round picks in the future because of the Stepien Rule.
 


RDA has spoken.

Zero chance we see a trade taking back money beyond this season or involving any first rounders til AD ankle is sorted out. If he needs surgery (not taking RDAs word here, just a thought of my own since lakers being super cryptic about his ankle) then lakers won’t make any meaningful moves

So basically don’t expect a real trade til mid January at earliest

Now I’m wondering was the injury when he planted his foot prior to jumping or the mild mid-air ankle sprain? Maybe tore something when he planted? Weird
