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

[DLF]

This is why playing the free agency game is so dangerous/dumb:

(I know the Lakers have no interest in Poetl, but you get the idea of putting all your eggs in one basket with free agency)

It’s pretty easy to see who we will sign this summer with 32 mill. Here’s the list:

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Waiting till the offseason is so foolish on many levels. Front office still doesn't seem to remember NOP can swap this year. Still a headscratcher.

31 days since AD went down. Targetting early Feb to come back.

Pels will for sure swap picks unless they totally tank.

 

[Korofi]

They need 2 solid defense wings that can shoot 3s and a solid back up center.


I swear people like Prime Ariza, Caron Butler, Matt Barnes, Demare Caroll, would've made so much money in this era.

I think that's exactly why Ariza and Barnes tried to hang on a little bit past their ability. Defensive wings that can hit a 3? #unicorn

Stephen Jackson would be a $35M player today

Don't think any *good* two way wings are available for what the Lakers are willing to offer, so just give this team a shooting forward and a backup big. Hope a healthy AD, engaged Bron and scheme can carry a solid defense with the offense.

 

[tupac003]

Rumor that AD could actually play before January ends, Lonnie and AR possible returns friday.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Stephen Jackson would be a $35M player today

Tayshaun Prince would kill in this era

 

[DLF]

If I’m LA, I would try and get players they are 1st team all defense and can shoot over 40% from 3 on high volume.

Man, Tayshaun Prince, Trevor Ariza, Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes... the hell happened to these types? Shane Battier, Artest probably being the best of all'um...

Where did this prototype go?

There's actually a ton of them out there...

The problem Lakers only like players 6'4 and under.

Max Christie will fit that mold eventually.

could be hoopla but still lol

Wing defenders that can hit 3s? Help me out because I seriously can't think of ONE right now. In the whole league. Haliburton? Ant Edwards?

I just wonder who is advising her...how many people have a voice.

Wish we could get to a point where the GM and the Owner are the only voices instead of all these random Rambis's....
