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

*laughs in medical tape*

I get that angle but we have to have the glass half full mentality instead of assuming he’ll get hurt again.

 

[tupac003]

I wonder how many stories about Russ are gonna come out now that he is gone.

 

[sohi 23]

Damn man this is the happiest I’ve been as a Laker fan since we won the ring or since we were up 2-1 against the suns team that went to the finals before AD went down.

I love y’all man. Lakers basketball is back. The cancer is gone.

I believe some of what people tell me and all of what people show me.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

This gonna be the starting line up?

I like Lonnie's athleticism in the starting lineup

 

[DLF]

You're delu...

... nvm.

??

 

[sohi 23]

Completely fair. He needs to show it for a prolonged period of time.

 

[ill 949]

-Get rid of Russ.
-Get rid of additional dead weight
-Add a starting PG worth a damn
-Add more shooting and depth
-Keep future flexibility.
-Don’t get fleeced with both FRPs


Not saying Pelinka deserves an apology but THIS is impressive af to pull off considering the whole world knew he wasn’t negotiating from a position of strength

 

[essential1]

If they could make a trade for a 2 or even a 3 and play him down at the 2 for that matter. Could squint a see a contender from this rotation

DLo / ??? / Bron /Vanderbilt/ AD
Schroeder / Beasley / Reeves/ Rui / Bryant

Vanderbilt is there for defense and rebounding. If you can find a 3&D guy at the 2. It's on.
Bench has a lot of options to score, everybody is capable of getting 10 points in a game competently.

 

[Lizakers]

I would think Bev would start with Dlo to offset his poor defense

Lemme work on this right quick....

I still move Bev and 29 if I can. Get greedy.

Great haul today but we've dug such a hole, we need to be near flawless after tomorrow's L.

 

[darthska]

Bev & 29 for Jokic?

You said get greedy.

 

[CP1708]

Bev & 29 for Jokic?

You said get greedy.

Greedy, not Science Fictiony.

 

[darthska]

Greedy, not Science Fictiony.

Science fictiony? Dom would have made it happen.

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Rui 6'9" who can shoot and score
Vandy 6'9" who can defend and board
Wenyen 6'9" who can energize, defend, block shots

Length and size category = ️
Helluva job by Rob
 

 

[thasoleful1]

Realistically what 2 guard is out there we can trade for except GTJ

 

[essential1]

Gotta be another move 2s, 3s.

Have Bev, Lonnie, Wenyen and Christie that you could move and not notice. 2029 First Unprotected and some 2nds

 

[darthska]

Absolutely LOVE IT. And the fact that those 4 players were grabbed for Westbrook and None?

Yes, please.

Buddy Hield.
Jaylen Nowell.
Josh Richardson.
Caris LeVert.
Terrance Ross.
Moses Moody.
Alex Caruso.
Bones Hyland.
Joe Harris.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Gary Trent Jr.
OG is a forward. But can play guards on defense.

All people who are available to some extent.
