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

[Maximus Meridius]

This dude AD with 9 points and 5 turnovers. At this point he just don't got IT mentality.

That lob LeBron threw him in the second quarter he ran and went for it with no effort, let it go through his hands. It's obvious some nights he just don't want to play. Just who he is, it ain't changing.

Just sad that at damn near 40 Bron has to carry this team consistently.

 

[darthska]

So.......AD jumps around great on Tuesday, AD da Gawd.

AD jumps around for **** on Wednesday, oh he dealin with an injury.......



He gon pound all over the G-League Blazers tomorrow and nary a word about his hip I suspect.

That injury excuse protection.

Nobody said that, though.

Knew it. Called it last night:

Let me guess: this AD game counts as being against an actual NBA team, amirite?
Retroactive analysis is so lazy & entertaining & lazy.

 

[CP1708]

Knew it. Called it last night:

No, you didn't. This isn't retroactive analysis.

Hell, I just predicted tomorrow's performance + reaction.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

DeRozan and Caruso is the play not Lavine.

 

[essential1]

Lakers again not being able to help themselves but considering dumb things.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

You add a championship caliber defender like Caruso who is hitting 40% of his threes and a bonafide, consistent 20 ppg scorer like Derozan, dudes like DLo and Rui are fully expendable.

[pmatic]

It's honestly not the worst idea to go after an athletic shot maker, but I'm just not a LaVine fan.

 

[lovehateself]

We started out slow for both halfs.

When we got it down to six and couldn't get any closer you kinda knew it was over.

Just as long as we don't start slow Friday I'm good.

 

[tupac003]

Clearly something was wrong. It's not an excuse and he should have played better.

Honestly if they start resting Bron and AD on back to backs...I'm ok with it.

 

[tupac003]

Damn....

 

[darthska]

Damn....

I knew it seemed like Sabonis plays Eyebrow perfectly every time.

 

[noblekane]

should have sat him on a back to back with his injury

wood was not bad in the 8 minutes he played.

 

[tupac003]

This Lavine talk is all over the place.

For what it would cost and the number of years left on his deal, it doesn't make sense to me.

 

[akajae]

Damn....

curious what their numbers are since they left them out.

Your response was better than mine.

 

[grittyman]

Still need to see the squad at full strength before deciding on if any trades need to be made, BUT… outside of AD and Bron no one is untouchable on this roster, including AR.

 

[tupac003]

Got a lemon in Gabe. Should have kept DS.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Dennis missed the first month of the season and was trash for a month when he came back last year. He's dealing with a knee injury too now. If he played better in the playoffs he'd probably still be on the team. And Lonnie is the guy Gabe replaced for the mle. Dennis was a minimum so that's Cam

I mean we kinda already know what they are at full strength, Gabe isn't that much of an upgrade over German Rondo. Rest of the squad is the same.

we have Action Jaxson

 

[Lizakers]

Gabe Nunn is a dud

Get him outta here

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Wow re-evaluated in 2 weeks.

Where is Vando?

Huh?

There are like 5 new rotation players on this year’s roster but okay.
