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

Running it back

 

[tupac003]

Thanks for taking less...

But we really running it back.

I think we are the only team that hasn't made a single move in free agency.

Dumping Reddish and/or JHS would make this a successful off-season.

 

[essential1]

My guess is Cam is the Minimum guy to go. And somehow he will end up in Milwaukee.

Saved us 3 mil for drafting bronny

Rob thinks this team as currently constructed is a championship caliber team. Who’s falling for the propaganda? Lol

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Rob the Great

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Thank you for the discount Bron, you are the GOAT.

If I ever have a business I am going to charge no tax for 1 week in your honor.

 

[tay1]

That deal is 100% the only reason we won't win a championship in those 2 years. We are perfect except for that.
/s

Who wants a championship when we have Bronny!

If that’s the Laker way, then why did Jeanie and Rob decide to hang an IST championship banner?

Yeah man, this Lakers regime doesn’t have the mentality of Dr. Buss, Kobe, and Magic

It’s sad af because I’m accustomed to much much higher standards

The Laker mystique is LONG GONE.

 

[atlsfinest]

24 mil for DDR, yeah no thanks

This is the tough part about it. As much as I would like to have a player like DeMar, keeping up assets and paying him $23M per year is crazy. I would be mad Rob from taking this deal

Gabe + Hayes + 2029 1st (Protected, if it doesn't convey, converts to 2031 with lighter protection) for Wendell Carter Jr.

The paths to Grant, Cam Johnson & DFS are meh ones at best. With the exception of Grant (but will cost you a ton), the other two guys are not better than the top 6 on the roster. Truthfully, if I'm trading for Cam or DFS, I'd want draft capital back, and because Brooklyn won't do that, I'm out on it.
Kuzma isn't a 3, and doesn't shoot well. Gives you better rebounding and defense over Rui, but the question is, 'Does he fit to give up draft capital?'

 

[darthska]

That it ended with a Celtics championship was EGREGIOUS.

Pelinka:

Pelinka:

It's funny; I LOLed... but stuff like this is what causes stupid moves.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I will never forgive Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss for letting Alex Ginobili walk for nothing. Never.

Had Dr. Buss been alive, Caruso would still be a Laker today.

When Derek Fisher left L.A. the first time I was pissed. But at least Buss brought him back and LAL proceeded to win two more chips after DFish came back for his second tour.

But this current Laker regime? No way. They made no attempts to re-acquire AC. The fact OKC acquired him without giving up a draft pick is insane.

 

[darthska]

Didn't really like that JJ wasn't at the Summer League game and another coach was there, taking notes, but I'll just tell myself that JJ is a film guy.

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Gary Trent Jr for the TPMLE will be the first new get for Pelinka this summer now that Bron freed up some money

Nobody will want to trade for Reddish but a waive n stretch is possible OR the Lakers do some kind of 3-for-1 or 4-for-2 trade with another team like Tor or Utah.

Me Jovan:

Guess having 6 guards on the roster isn’t enough, when you have a chance to add more you gotta do it…
