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

[pmatic]

Lewis been garbo since the first quarter of the first SL game.

No way bronny can be any worse than maxwell lewis. Jeez. Bruh is pressing like crazy.

 

[sohi 23]

Summer Team squad looks competent
Castelton, Caruso 2.0, Bronny & Kinecht gave some good minutes.

 

[sohi 23]

Bronny already the 2nd best perimeter defender on our team.

 

[Lizakers]

definitely impressed by Bronny on D.

 

[pmatic]

Castleton is skilled, but his lack of physicality and athleticism is going to hold him back from being a NBA regular.
Lewis started horribly, but finished strong. Active on the boards. His low release point might be why he pump fakes so much.
Bronny was really pesky on defense. I want to see him at PG for the hell of it. I don't need to see Kuhse or East moving forward.
Knecht shot a bit better today, to go with attacking the hoop. He's better with the ball in his hands than I thought.

 

[sohi 23]

Great analysis P. I really like Castelton’s game but unfortunately I don’t think he’s athletic/strong enough to give us 15-20 minutes either. His ideal role is like iHart but iHart has a crazy motor.

I’d also like to see bronny in a pg role while he develops, but I think they keep him in his role now because it’ll be closer to what he’ll be in the nba.

0-3. Then blows the lead late in the game against MIA.

Fire the SL coach

 

[pdino]

If Castleton could start hitting some 3s, put on 30lbs of muscle, he could be viable in certain matchups. Think that’s too much ask for my guy though

Not even Castleton could save this SL team

I think having Knecht and Castleton would alleviate asking too much from Bronny at PG, plus whatever you get out of Lewis. Castleton, Hinson, Lewis, Knecht, Bronny makes sense to me.

Just saw laker legend Darius Johnson-Odom at this USA Canada game

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

AD and Bam 2-Big front court

Pelinka at the game waking up and smelling the coffee

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Who here said Bron can’t play small forward and guard wings when he is surrounded by players who know how to play winning basketball?!?

Bron out there D’ing everybody up

Get me a gotdamn starting center to play alongside AD and I guarantee you the Lakers win the championship! You better believe it

Damn right!

 

[grittyman]

Damn right!

?

 

[tupac003]

Oh boy....

 

[pmatic]

Pelinka should surround AD and Bron with more Olympic talent. Just my thoughts.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Pelinka should surround AD and Bron with players who know how to play winning basketball and consistently play at a high level. Just my two cents/sense.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

I dunno man I just want to see the dude that wants to play the 4 play the 4 it don't seem like rocket science at this point.

 

[CP1708]

Steph to LA.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Maybe Bronny will be known more as a defensive player than an offensive one.

If his ceiling is a Marcus Smart type player, I’ll take it
