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

Keep DLo.


Then you have Beasley + Reeves + 2023 FRP (after the draft) + 2029 FRP (assuming you didn’t trade it) to get a $20-30mil starter.

You operate over the cap to get the MLE. Have Vando. Could keep Rui.
Lol

D’lo is their biggest trade chip if he is extended.

You have 25 games to evaluate him.
 
The question is who do the Lakers trade DLo for?

Kyrie………. Mark Cuban is gonna do the Lakers a solid?
It’ll cost you 2 FRP, DLo and possibly even Beasley to get Kyrie.

Kyrie won’t sign for $30mil. And you can’t sign him without letting DLo walk.

The smarter idea is always trading assets you can find an easier way to replace, bench players for starters, not starters and bench players for another starter.
 
I mean if Dlo plays well enough he prolly won’t get traded but we know how the Lakers operate. They’ll go after Kyrie/Dame. Hope they avoid Beal but they’ll probably make a run at him too.
 
If D'Lo prefers flexibility and choice, he would be wise to hold off on the extension. If he signs it, he's gonna be subject to trades during draft night and free agency.

Same thing happened with Sessions and Schroder in year's past.
 
All things considered, I'd rather have Kyrie. That should be what happened, but Tsai is a garden tool. We have options in the summer though, I don't know if we have enough to contend seriously with the elite right now.
