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

[BIG LEEMELONE]

2 of Dlo/Reaves/Rui/Gabe would have to go in a Grant trade. Can't see it

Really hope it works for him this year, was a major catalyst in helping the team make the run into the playoffs, Had big moments in the first two rounds & then fell flat in the WCF unfortunately. but ever since the 1st stint he's someone who has embraced the spotlight of L.A & ever since the Nick young thing he's proven to be really good chemistry wise.

Dude put u0 48/41 shooting on a good sample size playing next to Bron & AD, I got high hopes for him this year.

Only worry about Prince is he's getting bodied on defense a bit so far. Against the physical wings in the league, they're going to go through him easier compared to Rui and Vando.

But the fit on offense seems to be rather seamless for him. I would expect him to be a 40%+ three point shooter playing off the other four starters.

Yea that's my biggest concern, It puts a lot of pressure on AD to out out fires all game, he's more than capable of doing it, but he doesn't need to burn himself out. But considering we had guys like Cole Swider, Pat Bev, Lonnie, TBJ playing actual minutes on the wing last year it's a hell of an improvement.

And on a side note, Rui & Woods are going to SMOKE backup benches. Wings are going to have 0 break at any point playing against a combo of those 2 plus AD & Bron. Straight hell for defenders

Finally finished the game.

Not gonna get too excited because it is preseason.

But man this team looks pretty good.

These 2 Bigs gonna bring way more to the table this season than Gasol, Drummond, Jordan, Jones, and Bryant ever did the last 3 seasons combined.

More DETAIL as to how..

That’s not really a high threshold to cross

You seem to be downplaying the impact these 2 bigs will have on AD and the rest of the team.

Not a high threshhold to cross, one would think......But look at it from another perspective...It could be the difference between winning it all and the results from the last 3 years

 

[tupac003]

AD in?
