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

[mrdieselfuel09]

All of this is happening, and the team I hate more than any has locked up each and every one of their pieces and only Al Horford needs to be put out to pasture.

And their key guys are all mid to late 20's, with a bunch of kids on the bench.

 

[CP1708]

I’m proud of this thread. No mention of Dwight Howard for 10+ pages.

No mention of the Titanic either. That's a tough one in other threads....

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Dodged a bullet.

Essentials is a good dude, but the Dlo love I don't get. I rooted heavy for Dlo too and I am ashamed of it. I woke up after 9 seasons.

It's time brother. It's a liberating feeling.

 

[jab step]

No, he wouldn't. Dude opted-in because he had no value to cap space teams. Had to sign a two year deal because he had no market last summer.

Leverage as D'Angelo would say.

I don't get why the Lakers agreed to the player option. Did he have some some of offer elsewhere last season? Possibly.

Liked him when I watched his first game as a Laker. They did him pretty greezy on his way out. Gotta remember he was still a 20 year old kid.
Got traded to BK. Anecdotally a really good dude to a lot of people behind the scenes and away from basketball.

He came back, and team got a huge jolt. Team plays better with him on the court.
And he hates Darvin Ham.

Pretty simple.

Y’all need to trade for Lonzo and Zach.

 

[essential1]

Y’all need to trade for Lonzo and Zach.

Gonna have a roster of Bron, AD, Lonzo, Zach

And the 4th grade team of the closest school district (or the one JJ coached)

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Brogdon and/or Kuz wouldn't be the worst offseason

 

[pmatic]

Hypotactically, would do you Rui, D'Lo and JHS for LaVine and top 10 protected first rounder?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Nobody in the locker room trusted him because of the dumb **** he did. That's his own fault. And something is still off with him because his (regular season) play warrants at least 20Ms yet nobody wants him. Maybe it's him...

 

[jab step]

Hypotactically, would do you Rui, D'Lo and JHS for LaVine and top 10 protected first rounder?

No. That bulls pick would be in the top 10.

They need to give up more to take on that contract.

 

[essential1]

3 years $137 mil…… 1 pick ain’t enough.

Benny the Bull, Jordan Statue, Sammy Sosa at minimum on top of 2+’picks

 

[pmatic]

No. That bulls pick would be in the top 10.

They need to give up more to take on that contract.

Okay, let's make it top four protected then.

 

[essential1]

 

[SORIANOTRON]

NO ONE WANTS LAVINE AND THAT TERRIBLE CONTRACT MANE.

STOP.

 

[arstyle27]

Hypotactically, would do you Rui, D'Lo and JHS for LaVine and top 10 protected first rounder?

Bulls wont take Dlo nor will we trade any more future picks.

 

[MVP]

Bulls wont take Dlo nor will we trade any more future picks.

Huh, it's been widely reported they are willing to attach at least one 1st round pick to get off Lavine's deal.

 

[essential1]

A cheap replacement if DLo was traded. Off the board.

 

[pmatic]

No Dunn, Wright or Holiday if the team wanted a budget backup PG.

Guess they can wait it out to see if the market squeezes someone like Fultz, Morris or DSJ.

 

[grittyman]

Hypotactically, would do you Rui, D'Lo and JHS for LaVine and top 10 protected first rounder?

Just get DLo outta LA

(Jk I’d rather just send him on the next Space X to the moon if possible. No Lavine please)

 

[grittyman]

I just want the nightmare to be over!

 

[Korofi]

Lopez is the big we need.

Moses Brown is the big we will get

 

[thasoleful1]

Let me guess we getting a press conference from Pelinka saying the new CBA rules really affected his ability to make moves

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

This franchise is failing its fans just like Biden has failed the American people.

TRUMP FOR LAKERS PREZ!!!!
