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

[DLF]

Wait til last possible day bc it’s the cheapest option

 

[grittyman]

14th and 15th roster spots… nothing to see here

 

[geno90221]

We could’ve gave that spot to YG Primo

 

[essential1]

signing Shaq worked last time

get that float ready.

 

[flyerthandelta]

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This is like when they signed dion and JR for the bubble. Championship confirmed

 

[geno90221]

 

[darthska]

Tristan 'bout to EXPLODE for 6 & 3.

(minutes & fouls)

 

[Lizakers]

They might get a combined 2 minutes in the playoffs

Tristan would rather be in the studio with Malika and Cheney

As long as the direct deposit is good I don’t think they care

 

[noblekane]

why did they wait tho? could have used tristan when ad couldnt play that back to back

 

[BRONBROW2020]

ummmnnn not sure about this lol

 

[Lizakers]

I mean if TT can draw one charge and get 2 offensive rebounds in a game ,that can be the difference between a win and a loss

He'll get a flagrant and miss 4 free throws and be the difference between a win and a loss. Wtf would you bring a Kardashian into this

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Tristan Thompson…

Sure.

 

[king j]

Don’t know how much TT got left in the tank,but he’s beast on the offensive glass,solid defender as well.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Didn't Shaq Harrison just play last night with POR? Could've sworn I heard his name throwing an oop to somebody

Mans had 13,6,and 10 last night and got cut

 

[pmatic]

Not that I expect him to play, but Shaq Harrison is a good defensive guard.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

It's not about the numbers that TT will bring.

The intangibles tho bro. He rebounds, especially on the offensive end he gets you extra possessions. He knows positioning inside the paint. He's extra active and brings energy.

And He's more physical at the 4 and 5 than WGabriel.

Thompson is a great insurance policy Big Man.

I'm hyped, and idc if TT only plays 8 min per game, he gives LAL a battle tested big body to throw at other teams' C's which will allow AD to thrive.

When the inexperienced Vando and Rui become even more inconsistent in the playoffs facing experienced forwards like KD and AGordon and Wiggins/Dray and the games slow down....

Ham knows he can throw a SOLID lineup of AD and TT at C and PF, Bron at SF, Reaves and DLo both playing combo guard, and be able to compete with DEN (Joker, Gordon, MPJ), MIL (Lopez, Giannis, Portis, Middleton), BOS (Horford, Tatum, Timelord, GW), PHI (Embiid, Tucker, McDaniels), and PHX (Ayton, KD, Warren).... the best of the best all having size, width, and length in their strongest frontcourt lineups.

With AD, TT, Bamba, and WG, Lakers are more formidable defensively inside and will be able to match up with any legit title contender.

Only team I can see giving LAL an interesting and possibly troublesome matchup is The Splash Bros having Poole parties 4 times out of 7.

 

[Lizakers]

Shaq Harrison is 6’4 and strong

Another guard to throw at Bane-Ja-Tyus Jones isn’t a bad thing

Especially the way Dennis be giving up wide open threes all the time

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Lakers roster versatility on paper is nice.

Execution and chemistry, another thing

 

[pmatic]

Wait, Shaq isn't even eligible for the playoffs since he was on a team yesterday.

Edit:

Nevermind.
