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

Sterns a joke waiting years to come out and say Mitch is to blame :lol but I didn't read one thing explaining about Dan Gilbert and the "owners" involvement of the trade

Word, Gilbert and Cuban had their panties in a bunch. Especially Gilbert crying about small markets and superteams and look at the Cavs now. SMH
 
'How much better are these other guys gonna get'..lolz. Randle improved his midrange 20% and doubled his apg from year 2* to year 3.

Logical fallacy: appeal to authority

Stats don't tell the TRUTH !!

Most people on this thread and I'm sure GM's around the league know & see his main weakness in his game:

-Inconsistent
-Weak mid range jumper
-Lazy effort on defense
 


No to dookies on the Lakers. We dodged the bullet when we passed on Okafor at #2 two years ago in the lottery.

This dude Giles isn't worth it at #28 this year in the draft.
 
Part of me kind of thinks we should punt 28 to next year. Just trade # 28 for a lottery protected or top 20 protected pick.

Might be better to wait to add a bench piece in the 2018 draft AFTER we have more clarity of what we need with adding Lonzo or Fox to Russell/Ingram/Randle/Zu

This is the best anyone will ever get after two seasons. Trade em all

PP and TMac were specifically discussing Dlo's skill set and how his weaknesses are things that can't be improved over time (athleticism and defense). They weren't talking about all 21 year olds. This was specific to Dlo.

I tend to believe HOF players vs the Twitter statisticians y'all roll with

A player can't improve defensively? I'm sure DLo could continue to develop his defensive anticipation and stance to make him a competent defender.

Y'all are dying for the lakers to draft lonzo ball and he has the exact same weaknesses that you are claiming people can't improve on.

Luke Walton had great stance.. If you're slow-footed with old man game, you're in trouble on defense vs. lighting quick guards.

I'm not in the draft Lonzo camp, but at least he's athletic. that goes a long way on defense and offense. Dlo's a better mid-range shooter.

We should know what D'Lo is or isn't by the end of his rookie deal, if he's not made significant strides by then he'll be let go if not traded before then.
