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

[pmatic]

If you extend Lonnie for his starting $9.4mil soon, they can move him come off-season.

Lonnie, Beasley, Bamba is $36mil with picks for trade.

And can still do so while retaining DLo and still having the MLE, ability to keep Rui as a RFA. Have Vanderbilt.

They don't have Bird Rights to Lonnie and he's only been here a year so there's no ability to offer an extension.

 

[darthska]

Pick your top top nine players to be a rotation.

DLo
Walker
Beasley
Bron
AD

Rui, Schroder, Bamba, Reaves

Essential doing mental gymnastics to avoid including D’lo in a extend and trade

9 Man Rotation

D'Lo/ Schroeder
Beasley/Reaves
Bron/Rui
Vando/ Rui
AD/Bamba

Wenyen Can be deployed if we need energy/team playing small ball, TB/Lonnie is still viable if we want to play smaller at the three (But atleast it won't be a guy 6'1 or 6'3 )

It’s the smartest move to build a winner. But go ahead.

 

[aepps20]

when things go great its always the white man that made it happen

right aepps20 ?

 

[Zo gif]

3 shooter bron and AD

 

[Lizakers]

I put wenyen ahead of Bambi

 

[essential1]

 

[geno90221]

D’Lo look 36 now lol

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Now lets string together some wins, build some chemistry and try to avoid the play in!

gotta get back to those first 2 weeks we were actually defending

 

[essential1]

LeBron sitting out against the Bucks. Fun that they just end up sitting randomly when they need every game.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Bron's foot soreness thing seems to be a real thing, The Bucks are one of the better teams in the League & we're already down a few players. I'm not mad at Bron resting

 

[pmatic]

Might just sit AD so he doesn't have a season ending injury.

 

[noblekane]

yea thats not good. bron wasnt even out there for the final minutes of last game because of his foot

 

[Lizakers]

sit ADNP

what’s the point?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

darthska

[noblekane]

Brosizzlew30.23 how come Nunn of your trade machines had us getting Rui and Dlo?

Russ not getting traded.

Pelinka not savvy enough to pull off Turner with only Pat Bev, Nunn, Jones unless he includes both FRP's instead of just one.

Lakers have a better shot getting Mo Bamba without having to give up a FRP

Imagine a big rotation of AD, Turner or Bamba, Bryant, and Gabriel

Lemme get out the crystal ball....

Then for AD insurance, sign Boogie for the remainder of the year

Schroder / Westbrook / Beverley
Reaves / Christie / S.Brown
Bron / Reddish / T. Brown
AD / Gabriel / JTA
TB / Bamba / Cousins

Look at all that size, length, and depth

Hell yeah he good. We not asking Mo to score. TB can do that, although Mo can knock down the 3 if you leave him open.

We asking Mo to rebound, put a body on other bigs so AD don't have to, and we asking Bamba to do this below for 10-12 min a game...

Notice that most of his blocks lead to transition buckets for his team. And what do the Lakers like doing? Getting out and run. Bamba a perfect role fit for our squad

Lizakers

When I say I want Mo Bamba, Pelinka listens.

 

[noblekane]

if ad plays we got 8 active guys ad the only guy taller than 6'8

can they play scottie jr and swider too?

 

[pmatic]

With all the new wings in Brooklyn, could Yuta ask for his release? He might be claimed unless his agent tells teams to not.

Pelinka doesn’t know who that is.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Another reason i don't mind taking a fly on Bomba, I love taking chances on young players with potential stuck on teams with a long history of being bad & dysfunctional. The AMgic have picked up this year (mainly due to Paolo) but it's not like that was an amazing environment before.
