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

[BIG LEEMELONE]

On paper this team is better than the 2020 team

 

[lovehateself]

max's minutes are gonna go away once AR and lonnie return
ideally, so should rusts

but max has played well within his role and has shown that " potential"









gonna miss him in 2 years

 

[pmatic]

There's a 2 for 1 consolidation trade to be made. This team will all of a sudden have too many players in about 10 days.

 

[moonman818]

Max Christie gonna be nice in Portland when we trade for Dame in 3 years.

 

[Korofi]

HASSAN

 

[had pants]

 

[tay1]

He had some decent playing time in the 4th as well. He’s gonna be a good player to have.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Crazy to think that it’s already been 3 years since we lost Kobe and Gigi…

Damn man. It still hurts.

 

[frink85]

I remember waking up late that morning and seeing a lot of rumors and chatter online. Nothing on tv or anything “real” yet. Friend sent a TMZ link to the group chat that wasn’t loading. Wasn’t gonna trust anything but an official statement/legit article but TMZ never lies

An ominous start to one of the worst years in history.

Is wenyen the odd man out in the rotation with AD and Rui?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Next trade

Sims is a Klutch client.

Power dunker, averages about a block per game, much stronger in the paint than Damian Jones.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Is wenyen the odd man out in the rotation with AD and Rui?

I don't think so because Wenyen can play small ball center and has value on the team. Rui more of a SF-PF.

Jones and JTA are the odd men out IMO

 

[pmatic]

Ham refused to play Wenyen with AD previously, and don't see him playing them forward.

Imagine the center and power forward minutes will go to AD, Bryant, Bron and Rui. Hard to give Wenyen minutes unfortunately.

 

[noblekane]

yup wenyen and jones are done for

both got 1 minute last night lol

knowing ham he'd keep jta over them

 

[Lizakers]

Why not cut Jones and give the best 3 point shooters in the G league some 10 day contracts just to see if we can find a gem like Popabich used to always find shooters

cause jones is owed 5 mil

 

[Lizakers]

cause jones is owed 5 mil

Give him his 5 mill and waive him
Waste of a roster spot if Ham hates him this much

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Danny Green
KCP
Lebron
AD
McGee

Rondo
Bradley
Caruso
THT
Kuz
Markieff
Dwight

Schroeder
Reaves
Bron
Rui
AD

Russ
Walker
Bev
Christie
Brown
Wenyen
Bryant


I'm shleep tho

 

[sohi 23]

We still got 1 trade left to make. I think Bev gets shipped out which is unfortunate because he’s been playing better recently but whatever.

unbelievable that Damian Jones got a player option

 

[CP1708]

Stop.

The 2020 team would kick the crap out of this team. Just stop.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

All of a sudden people hold the 2020 team in such high esteem. Definitely wasn't the case at any point during that season

 

[moonman818]

Russ for anybody who will take him.

 

[sohi 23]

Russ for anybody who will take him.

PLEASE.

 

[CP1708]

You right, the NBA Title team of 3 years ago would struggle with the 12 seed of today......
