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

[Brosizzlew30.23]

It was pretty clear the Thunder coach outcoached Ham. And a few other games

But at the end of the day, the roster construction and the players not having effort and energy on defense is what’s caused most of the losses this season, if you don’t count the refs and injuries

Just really hard to put this season on Ham.

The veteran leaders on the roster aka Bron and AD need to step up their leadership skills and get their teammates locked in and focused.

Rajon, Dudley, Dwight, and Javale ain't walking thru that door to give speeches and pep talks

 

[noblekane]

including those last 2 players

That sucks...

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

I read an article earlier saying they could petition the league office about it.

Spirit of the rule was created so that you couldn't leave the team you just got traded to in order to go right back. Not sure they care enough about him to do, nor if the league would grant them permission.

 

[tupac003]

It doesn't make any sense that we couldn't sign him especially since he went to another team after that Jazz trade and release

 

[drewsone]

ham not gonna play stanley proper minutes anyway lmao

 

[Lizakers]

Stanley was a Vogel guy
Ham has no reason to want him back

We have enough talent if these guys want it

This sounds like something Pincus would suggest

 

[SORIANOTRON]

we might have the talent NOW, but we don't have the reps and continuity....

hard to shake up the whole roster and then go 17-10 the final stretch.

Not impossible, but not likely either.

Terrible start to the season (pre-season also) and dug ourselves into a hole we haven't been able to climb out of.

Haven't seen .500 all season, don't think we will either.....

the silver lining is RW is gone, and we can turn the chapter and get back to LAKERS BASKETBALL.

literally threw away 2 seasons though

[Hijo Del Promo]

Justice for Vogel.

 

[grittyman]

There are frontcourt guys who barely play as it is and y’all want to add another player to the rotation??

 

[geno90221]

We don’t need anymore players!!!!
Just need wins and health

 

[pmatic]

Loved what Stanley did last season, but I would just use the last roster spot on a developmental guy (like Wenyen and Stanley last season). But I suppose that can be done in a few weeks...

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If nerlens gets bought out gotta take a look

 

[grittyman]

Runs and goes into witness protection program

 

[Lizakers]

What’s the record with Lebron and AD?

Win with russ

Russ hasn’t lost a game since he was traded

 

[grittyman]

Lakers 0-2 when Mo Bamba doesn’t play.

I love these stats

 

[DLF]

If nerlens gets bought out gotta take a look

He beefed with Rich Paul

 

[tupac003]

Runs and goes into witness protection program

55-72 with Russ.

 

[grittyman]

55-72 with Russ.

Thought that post was funny…wasn’t endorsing it.

 

[tupac003]

Trust me bro I know....

But a buddy of mine is a russ fan and he posted one that said we are 1-8 without Russ and I had to check him. Lol

 

[MVP]

This is more concerning:

Record With Bron and AD last 4 seasons
2020: 45-17
2021: 19-8
2022: 11-11
2023: 11-14

The amount of games they've played together since that first season is ridiculous

 

[drewsone]

^^ been a bad cycle of one goes down and right when he about to be back the other goes down

the amount of **** injury luck is very unfortunate

 

[noblekane]

oh the wizards are dragging the blazers right now?

must be nice
