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

[pmatic]

I really don't want to do three stars and a bare bones roster again.

 

[MVP]

Can’t bc we would be hardcapped with lebron and ad plus 33 mill for kyrie.

You can be hard capped being 33 million under the cap?

 

[pmatic]

Yes if it was a sign and trade.

 

[noblekane]

little did bron and ad know that westbrook was gonna be extreme *** cheeks

lebron had too much faith in him. you cant make a *** a housewife

 

[pmatic]

Bron underestimated himself trading for Brick.

 

[Rockabilly Zombie]

You guys are taking me back. Lol. Started lurking during the nikepark days and signed up for the nerd dunks and espos. 03 I think? Yes I’m old

[CP1708]

"Bring him back next year but cheaper!"

 

[DLF]

Revenge season

The revenge on the fans

 

[DLF]

To rub salt in y’all wounds:

Can Thomas was the lakers pick on nearly every mock draft this past year

That pick went to the wizards for TurdBrick

 

[noblekane]

can you send this to jeanie, rob, and ham?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I said we shoulda traded him last January and I was told to be patient.

 

[noblekane]

i dont know who it was if it was in here or in the nba thread but someone said how is russ supposed to play when bron threw him under the bus when he said it was dissapointing they didnt get kyrie.

Uh they been throwing him under the bus since the offseason and he played like he always does. like ***. nothing gonna change

I will give Westbrook a lot of credit. Despite being in trade rumors and half of the fan base hating his guts, he's handled things for your professionally. I guess it's easy to sleep at night when you're making $47 million

 

[moonman818]

no one is calling him Brick to his face

He’s good out here

 

[atlsfinest]

Did a quick check up on THT he's having a rough season. He's shooting 40% from the field and 25% from three.

Think about how much we all hyped him up.

I had high hopes for him
He makes Devin Ebanks look like KD

He’s still only 22 despite the hairline. Wonder if he gets another NBA contract

 

[Lizakers]

Do it Rob

its crazy how much hype he got just for his tremendous wingspan

 

[reconic supreme]

I love Reaves man. Caruso more impactful on defense but AR is no slouch on that end plus he gives you solid shooting/playmaking which is something the Bald Mamba is struggling with.

It’s crazy the scout department found a dude that’s a borderline 50/40/90 player

Lol
Half the fan base lol

 

[darthska]

Lol
Half the fan base lol

No, he meant half like when the teacher grades on a curve and the high score in the class was a 78.

Man...we really let AC go for him. Possibly didn't get Lowery because of him....

We got that wrong.

Westbrook remains in trade conversations, according to people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly, with the Lakers attempting to find a trade or trades that can help them climb from 13th place to the middle of the playoff race, where the team feels, if healthy, it would have a chance to contend. Guards Patrick Beverley and Lonnie Walker IV also are candidates for trades if the team needs to shed contracts worth less than Westbrook’s $47-million salary.

Toronto guards Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr., Atlanta guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, Detroit forward Bojan Bogdanovic (who the Pistons repeatedly have said isn’t available unless they’re blown away by an offer), Charlotte guard Terry Rozier and Utah guard Mike Conley all are viewed as possible trade targets depending on how the market shakes out between now and Thursday.

Other names could emerge by the deadline as well.
