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

[tupac003]

Another report just came out saying the Nets would have wanted Rui as well but he couldn't be added to the trade.

Nets were never gonna trade Ky here.

Gotta hope the Dallas thing falls apart and he can get traded to us in the off season where picks will make some more sense, since the pick swap either will or won't happen.

Bron really didn't say anything crazy.

He was disappointed...so we're a lot of Laker fans.

He didn't have to answer the question at all.

He says I'm focused on the guys in the locker room all the time.

It's just bizarre.

He didn't have to answer the question.

But he did.

And he didn't say anything crazy.

Saw that one too.

So I just want to know how they were planning on making the salaries work….like did they want LA to take on the Ben Simmons contract too?

Kind of feel like if he didn’t answer it ppl would have had a prob to. He doesn’t want to win, he’s just stat padding now, etc. damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Joe Harris was the name thrown in.

Popovich and the Spurs imo is the most realistic trade partner for the Lakers. Of Richardson, Poeltl, and McDermott, Pelinka would get back decent role players who all fill needs, but more importantly 2 expiring contracts which gives Rob all kinds of options and trade flexibility this summer.

Best case scenario, the combination of getting rid of the brick and adding impact role players makes the team exponentially better and they make a deep run in the playoffs.

Worst case scenario, the Lakers keep Brick and stink it up, but the Lakers get a lottery pick by missing the playoffs

 

[drewsone]

Pop/spurs historically been adamant in NEVER helping the lakers though

Good timing because I think Darvin is done with Lonnie.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Damn, Nets might flip for FVV now. Welp.

 

[drewsone]

[DLF]

He’s right.

 

[drewsone]

russ was professional in last year's exit interivew?

 

[aepps20]

Haven’t been more proud to be a fan of da Lake Show than I am right now. Mikey will be a Laker or out of the league in a year or so.

What are you? 12?

Russ is an idiot

[noblekane]

he wasnt being professional just last week when he yelled at the assistant coaches to "do better".

phil handy probably hates his guts and rightfully so

how dow you yell at the coaches all the while you been stinking it up for a whole ******* week?

 

[MVP]

He’s right.

Whole organization is goofy from top to the players.

 

[moonman818]

I'm done with him too

You can't let a guy name Jose Alvarado cook you.

 

[baik]

hit up the only team that trades with us....lets go get brad beal

 

[tupac003]

We all love Kobe...

But it's interesting that Lebron is "wild" for saying he is disappointed and shouldn't have said anything, but I don't remember that same energy when this was said...
