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

[DLF]

I absolutely keep Russ.

He’s a hall of famer and allowing me to not watch laker games and thus help with my mental health.

 

[DLF]

Would fit the Pelinka overpay

Fvv leaving anyways this summer for nothing from Toronto
Otto is out for the year.

Can't imagine Jeanie wanting to pay FVV, Trent Jr, Rui and Reaves this summer.

If she was a man you wouldn’t say that

 

[DLF]

Trading 2 1st rd picks for Gary Trent Jr and FVV would be worse than the Russ trade

After thinking about it

This isn’t actually all false. I can see it. Fvv and Trent gonna get paid this summer. 55 mill for both prob. Add to lebron and ads 40+ mill and you reach GSW level salaries with only 4 players

Kudos

Nah if it happens (it won’t) will be for both 1sts and 2-3 seconds. Again, it won’t.

Jefferson -- "They need an Al Horford 5 and some sort of 2-guard you can't leave open."

Aka the Myles Turner and Buddy Hield trade that's been regurgitated a million times and imo is still on the table

I assume FVV would be a rental. Don’t think they’d want to pay him what he’d be asking for. Trent seems like the long term player.

Breaking news: 3 guard lineups with Russ and without Bron & AD are trash. Didn’t need a thread from a Laker beat writer to know that.

I’m actually surprised at how well the Lebron/Russ without any other point guards lineup has been performing…

Trent is more of a 2 than 3 to me… and I like Reaves/Christie enough to say the Lakers are fine at that position for now.

Getting a 6’7-6’8 player with more perimeter game would be ideal imo

 

[sohi 23]

Just win games and wait for the desperate team before the deadline.

 

[drewsone]

one more trade man and we cookin

teams are starting to put out what they sellin rn

looking at the landscape of the league, I know you can’t predict a future star getting traded but the only stars I could legit see even coming up for a trade is either Dame or Trae.

Worth it to hang on to your chips for the chance at either?

 

[tupac003]

I don't know which trades are worse. DLF and Bro or the non laker fan/lebron stan trades that get posted in here...

 

[pmatic]

Really don't seem Dame or the Blazers divorcing anytime soon.

Yes.

 

[moonman818]

This isn't terrible, actually.

With all of Dame’s loyalty talk, the city would destroy the team if they traded him away

I'd rather hang onto them, there's always a disgruntled star on the horizon. Blowing a load on FVV/GTR or Myles/Buddy types is organizational malpractice.
