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

[tupac003]

Did they really though?

I'd take D.lo over Russ at the number we were paying him anyday.

 

[grittyman]

Lakers offering AR 4yr/50 mil, but DLo getting 3yr/75 mill is wild me. Think he’s worth that? Have to choose wisely who you want going forward, only so much cap space

There is a max number the Lakers can offer, BUT they also have the ability to match what other teams with cap space can offer.

The 3/$75 mil D Lo post is clearly from some Twitter person giving their opinion of what they’d offer him.

Can already tell it’s going to be a long offseason

 

[tupac003]

Ok...

 

[tupac003]

Yep gonna be a long summer...lol

 

[(*Fin)]

D’Lo ceiling is basically a less reliable Lou Williams at this point of his career. There is no more upside. Do we really gotta pay him 3/$75?!!

Unfollowing all these bball pages after the Lakers season ends… gotta avoid all the inevitable clickbait smh

 

[Korofi]

Kyrie comes. We keep Rui, Austin, Walker, and Vando.


Sign two big centers and another three and D guy. And two shooters.

That's a random number.

Honestly we don't know what he wants but I would assume it would be 4 year north of 20 mil.

I'd do a 3 year deal with a team option for the 3rd year.

Get Kyrie. Signing resigning someone who has been useless in the moments we need him is pointlless

 

[Dhizzle]

Im ok with this team not having any more players named russell from here on out.

 

[essential1]

Kyrie comes. We keep Rui, Austin, Walker, and Vando.

Can’t.

If Kyrie comes. Here is your roster (best case)

Kyrie
LeBron
AD
AR
Christie
Vando
$5mil exception player
17th pick
2nd round pick
Vet minimums

(My guess is the 17th pick would be in Dallas though)

 

[Korofi]

We actually can. Your math is wrong

 

[essential1]

We actually can. Your math is wrong

There’s many things I’ve been wrong about in my life. Math isn’t one of them.

 

[tupac003]

I really don't see why they would want to go back to being top heavy...

 

[pmatic]

D'Lo
Rui
Beasley
Bamba
Probably Vando

for

Kyrie

No thank you.

 

[moonman818]

damn that lost hurt last night.

Haven’t felt that bad over a lost since 2008 finals game 4

 

[lovehateself]

Trading all our depth for one guy definitely worked out for us before

 

[essential1]

Here is the quick breakdown. Kyrie at a max

 

[oh you mad]

I’d be more happy keeping d’lo and try to sign Brook Lopez rather than going after kyrie..

 

[smedroc]

Kyrie comes. We keep Rui, Austin, Walker, and Vando.

Breh that's 10 players. Barely got room left for Bron & AD

 

[lvjordan238]

Austin and Rui are both restricted free agents, I don’t really get concern about the Lakers not bringing them back.

The concern is Bron trying to push for Kyrie.

 

[pdino]

Put me in the boat of 2 max contracts + others instead of 3 max surrounded by vet minimums /rookies, so I’m out on Kyrie
Bigs: Porzingus or Naz Reid. Trey Lyles/Mo Wagner for a more budget pick
Wings: Struss, Jalen McDaniels, Herb Jones, grant Williams

Wouldn’t mind seeing any of them as Lakers

 

[grittyman]

The concern is Bron trying to push for Kyrie.

Lebron will be in year 21 with one more year (player option) after that… do we really think he’s still calling shots? Cmon now

 

[tupac003]

Yeah at this point if Bron tries to force anything there is no way you relent to his wishes.
