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

[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.

That's all it took?

 

[sohi 23]

Rob Pelinka you suck man.

Rob: "It's so hard to trade nowadays"

One day later: 2 bad picks and salary filler for Murray

 

[tupac003]

Yeah....

Any Rob slander is warranted.

But we should have just traded for Murray at the damn deadline anyway.

 

[sohi 23]

“Laker tax” definitely exists but let’s not use it as an excuse for our bad Gm.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

And like that leverage flips

Huh? How does this give D'lo leverage? Didn't take 3 picks either

 

[darthska]

You’ll never guess the pick they used

Which?

THAT part.
Both can be true.
Both are true.

 

[tupac003]

Nance Jr and 2 picks.....come on now...

 

[geno90221]

Why are we surprised!

 

[tupac003]

Rob gonna trade for Young....

What a dummy.

 

[lovehateself]

rob losing out on murray cause hes on hold with the cavs on a spida trade.

 

[tupac003]

Murray was the perfect fit. Plays defense and can score...

Smh

 

[pdino]

Which?

Lakers 2025 pick

 

[MVP]

Well they wanted AR from us and got Larry Nance...so yea unserious negotiations

 

[grittyman]

The pick didn’t belong to the Lakers anymore so what’s the big deal?

Anyhow, not a fan of Murray so don’t care about him being traded to NO… Rob is probably waiting on DLo to opt in so he can use those picks and maybe another salary to upgrade the roster.

 

[tupac003]

THAT part.
Both can be true.
Both are true.

Facts.

Yeah man I don’t buy Pelinka’s reasons, I mean Excuses with a capital E.

Im starting to believe the guy is a mediocre negotiator/recruiter because dude probably talks way too much religion during recruiting calls. Jesus Christ smh

 

[pmatic]

I would've been more mad at Pelinka flipping two future firsts for Murray. Not even that bothered.

 

[sohi 23]

Oh btw trae is def NOT coming to the lakers now.
Atlanta has the lakers pick, they are invested in the lakers being bad next year.

They prolly trade him to the spurs for peanuts (1 or 2 or Atlanta’s picks from the initial Murray trade back)

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Here’s Father Rob breaking from tradition

 

[SORIANOTRON]

being drafted #55 in the 2nd round doesn't SCREAM nepotism

but y'all have fun with the new word y'all just learned
