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

[pmatic]

Woj reporting D'Lo and Lakers starting extension conversations. Don't Schroder yourself, D'Lo!

 

[noblekane]

this mother ****er thinks hes a genuis for doing things he should have been done?

or is he gonna do something worse than what hes doing now?

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

5 Guard lineup.

5 stars, no Meltzer.

Lets go.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Now that Brick gone, the spotlight has shifted to Ham lol

god speed brother

 

[pmatic]

 

[DLF]

Shroeder should be the next Russ

 

[DLF]

Bamba
AD
Vanderbilt
Rui
Lebron

Boom!

 

[DLF]

Too bad Trae is a losing player

But the hawks could be a team that would love to trade for AD

 

[essential1]

Kurt Rambis bout to goggle up

 

[essential1]

5 Guard lineup.

5 stars, no Meltzer.

Lets go.

Unless it’s in the Tokyo Dome. it’s not a 5 star.

 

[pmatic]

Omg he did it.

 

[essential1]

Pulls Beasley at 8:50.

Puts in Schroder

 

[Lizakers]

Hopefully we can keep a lineup consistent for the rest of the season. Gotta build some cohesion

2nd unit is strong with DS, Reaves, Lonnie, Rui, Bamba. Ham is gonna have to figure out who gets the DNPs

 

[DLF]

Pulls Beasley at 8:50.

Puts in Schroder

He did this the first time he played Russ off the bench

He literally made a big deal about it and then brought Russ in like 2 mins into the game

Oh No it’s 2-0

Schroder GO IN

im not sure if you have followed the lakers at all this year but darvin scam brought westbrook in at the 7 to 6 minute mark in the first half and the 7 to 6 minute mark to start the second half.

I would think schroeder wouldnt scare ham into putting him in early like westbrook did every game he had to come off the bench

things should go back to normal lol

 

[essential1]

It’ll always come down to 3 point shooting.

Yeah bad 3 point shooting nights happen. But there’s 11 games where the Lakers lost by 6 or less and LeBron played. (1 where he didn’t)

LeBron is 28 for 92 (30.4%)

On the 9 games that LeBron played that were won by 6 or less

LeBron is 17 for 58 (29.3%)


I’m sure there’s a mixed bag of shooting nights from the other Lakers, but it’s the importance of always having shooting around him.

Having Schroder, Westbrook, Beverly playing so many minutes probably sank the Lakers 4-6 games this year on that alone (whether it’s not making enough or not taking enough)

 

[noblekane]

mo bamba and wenyen bout to be the odd men out of the rotation

 

[DLF]

Evan Mobley another type of player that a dumb gm might trade to lakers for AD.

Just takes 1 team

 

[atlsfinest]

Seriously, if we can't beat the Pelicans without Zion Williamson at home in a must win game, we might as well pack it in before the All-Star break

 

[thasoleful1]

This dude Ham finally pulled Dennis from the starting lineup

 

[DLF]

Seriously, if we can't beat the Pelicans without Zion Williamson at home in a must win game, we might as well pack it in before the All-Star break

Lebron on “first game back” is usually terrible

 

[pmatic]

Ham didn't trust Rui to keep up with Ingram and remembered Ingram roasted Brown Jr last game.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

mo bamba and wenyen bout to be the odd men out of the rotation

One of them has to play backup 5

 

[pmatic]

With Rui coming off the bench, they can probably get away with Wenyen at center. Wenyen-Vando was tough on the offense.
