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

[reconic supreme]

gabe's a gamble for sure, but those 20+ games he had in the offs were outwardly for a role player

unafraid of the moment type stuff, those defenses him and the heat faced were no joke

the floor is DS which I think he's capable of reaching at least imo

in his 4 regular seasons career average 39 percent shooting and 33 percent three point shooting

in that 22 game playoff showing this year 40 percent shooting and 37 percent from 3

hes already 27.

probably should have just kept schoeder

Toronto offered shroeder more money and a starting job

They should have gotten Bruce Brown

we couldnt have offered schroeder what they gave vincent?

 

[grittyman]

Listening to this episode now…

 

[Lizakers]

So now everyone hates Vincent already? Jesus

They don’t wanna pay the tax so 11 mill or so was the most given how much Rui and D’lo got.

In Toronto he’s their main pg. he will play like 30+ mins a game. In LA he’d be at like 16-25 mins with Reeves and D’lo in the team.

Let’s see how Vincent plays first before ****ting on him.

 

[darthska]

Because he's not Kyrie. 'S all that is.

 

[grittyman]

You know how it goes bro… hate Dennis while he’s here, then get angry at the franchise and his replacement when he leaves

EYE was told he's "a proven player"

 

[DLF]

Lakers absolutely ****** up a WCF team. We were so close and they made terrible free agency choices. There were really good free agents that woulda been obvious upgrades but we went ultra conservative.

Obviously keep lebron and AD Reeves Rui and D’lo but I would have split the NTPMLE for Brook Lopez, Bruce Brown. Used BAE on FVV. We should have drafted Wemby at 17. Used vet min to sign Plumlee, Cam Johnson and Shroeder

D’lo/fvv/DS
Reeves/brown/Christie
Lebron/Rui/ Johnson
AD/Vando/Wemby
Lopez/Plumlee

Oh well lakers are idiots.

Art thou did it correctly?

 

[noblekane]

you know there is such a thing as not leaning into extremes one way or the other?

apparently we dont do that around here

 

[atlsfinest]

Which one of you guys is this?

 

[DLF]

Tristan Thompson
Mo Bamba
Wenyan Gabriel
Colin Castleton
Jay Huff


I’d go with Biyombo. 30 years old. Elite shot blocker. Tristan is only 32? Feels like he’s 40.

 

[DLF]

Which one of you guys is this?

That’s aiming too low

I’d rather get Embiid.

 

[noblekane]

kendrick nunn must be really bsd on defense for no one to have signed him

his first 3 seasons career average hes shooting 45 percent from the field and 36 percent from three. soon as he left us he shot 39 percent from three

i remember his rookie year he had a couple of good shooting games against us in the finals.

Tarik Black is only 31. What’s he up to?

 

[DLF]

Think we should just target Christian Wood. We're developing a reputation of a team that can take players for a year who's looking to prove themselves.

Only problem is that when AD misses 18-28 games this year, Ham will be running Rui-lebron-wood frontcount and that rim protection is a ZERO esp with Lebron taking defensive plays off. Sure you can play him at the 4 with Hayes but then Hayes is playing 30+ mins.

True. However, the pool for Centers is small. Who's the next best option? Biyombo?

Eh, Thomas Bryant was a zero to on defense when AD missed time last season, but the offense he brought was vital.

 

[pmatic]

It can't be any worse than Trezz or Thomas Bryant on defense.
