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

[grittyman]

Don't see this being any different.

Oh THIS is different for obvious reasons.

Can see them giving him every opportunity possible, as long as Bron is on the team

 

[pmatic]

Assuming D'Lo opts in...

Probably need to throw in 2029 and 2031 picks, plus a pick swap(s) (since Knecht isn't included)...But the Hawks are not going to take in more money. They're going to want to trim salary if not make it dead even money wise.

Yea, I didn't add the picks but remove Jalen and it's almost dead even I think

Which is why he's probably going to get a standard contract for three or four years to develop.

 

[pmatic]

Personally don't mind taking the picks into the season and evaluating.

Bron - Opt-out
D'Lo -Opt-in
Hayes - Opt-out
Reddish - Opt-in

[MIKE LOWERY]

Thankfully/Unfortunately went back to #23.

 

[tupac003]

What if D.lo opts in and is traded?

 

[essential1]

What if D.lo opts in and is traded?

Unless they drop a ton of money….. they got nothing except the $5mil TPMLE and vet mins

 

[essential1]

I hope McMenamin means if DLo opts out, they will re-sign him and then reassess options in February.

Because if he means they’ll let him walk. “Sign on the margins” then look at the market in February, they may not make it that to February as a team.

 

[pmatic]

Not that this team needs another small guard, but Shamet was Redick's rook in Philly and he was with Reaves at Wichita St. before Reaves transferred out.

 

[CP1708]

So taking less than the max helps now?

unless we're sending out guys like cam, max lewis and a signed bronny jr # 9 jersey

i say nah dawg


hope cam opts out, re-sign max...figure it out with d'lo and his deal

 

[essential1]

And like that leverage flips

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Jaxson Hayes would be wise to opt in since no other team gonna offer him more $$ and Lakers still don’t have a center

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Dejounte on da way

Yup….

To the Pels

 

[essential1]

You’ll never guess the pick they used

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I’m no contract expert, I know there’s different types…guaranteed, non-guaranteed, two way, exhibition 10, etc so one of yall help me out.

What are some of the options available besides a two-way for Bronny? Have a hard time seeing the Lakers dumping assets just to create a roster spot for a guy that they know needs to develop and won’t really be playing this year. Like could they sign him to a non-guaranteed deal, let him and Bron share the court during the preseason only to sign him to a standard G league contract later?

Now how would you know with 100% certainty that Bronny isn’t good enough to crack the rotation?

They obviously feel he is talented enough to compete at this level, regardless of him being Bron’s son.

It’s guys like Reddish, Gabe, Rui, and DLo whom the Lakers need to move up outta LA

 

[grittyman]

There’s still the Trae trade lol

I wouldn’t use my assets on a pg though

 

[essential1]

Just for reference.

Lakers could have pushed for a Murray trade without waiting for DLo. But it never dawned on them that “Hey Murray fits with Austin, he probably fits with DLo too. Why not just have all 3 at the price of Trae + $10mil”

Now they lost him to a hilarious trade package that includes the pick the Lakers traded for AD.

 

[MVP]

That's all it took?

 

[sohi 23]

Rob Pelinka you suck man.
