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

[pmatic]

Need Koloko to get approved ASAP. Tired of Castleton not being able to secure rebounds.

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

I like Knecht’s confidence. Bad end to the 3rd for him and still took that 3 while doubled

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Solid 2 points

I thought Larry Tanner was gonna retire....

 

[SORIANOTRON]

3 blocks at 6'2"

He plays hard

I like it

 

[lovehateself]

Save us dalton

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

3 blocks at 6'2"

He plays hard

I like it

Agreed. He’ll develop and I can see him eventually getting in the regular rotation in a couple years especially if JHS and/or Vincent don’t pan out

I wouldn’t say the same if Ham were still the coach

 

[darthska]

Me, personally, I don't see a positive outcome from Bronny at all, Pops aside.
He has absolutely no offensive bag and is hardly ever in the right spot.
He's active on defense and that's a huge plus, so I guess that's what everyone is placing their bets on.
I just... I mean we'll see, because he's definitely not going anywhere.

Season starts tonight

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Season starts tonight

Thought it started Friday?

 

[darthska]

Thought it started Friday?

C'mon, man.
How many different people has lovehateself summoned to save us?
We haven't lost a game this season. It's all love, man.

(Until it's not. Let's not rush that, though.)

Yes it’s all love, indeed. There’s odd humor in here sometimes though. But man you’re looking too deeply into it

Season starts when preseason ends

 

[pmatic]

That was a fun first half.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This is a good team. Max and Gabe add the defensive element that was lacking. Add Vando and we're cooking with grease

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

pre SEASON starts now

 

[frink85]

I guess it’s the night for fans to wild out

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

JJ on the clock now. 0-2 unacceptable.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

If everyone's healthy, JJ got some decisions to make.

Feel like starting Max until Vando gets back is the move.

He's not gon like it, but you got to move Rui to his natural position and best spot, backup PF to Bron. Maximize his talent and make his life much easier. Lineup much more balanced.

Some combo of Gabe/Reddish/JHS/Knecht/Max/Rui off the bench.

 

[pmatic]

I'll go with AD/Bron/Rui/Reaves/D'Lo with Hayes/Knecht/Christie/Vincent until Vando returns.

During the slog of the regular season, playing all ten players should be doable.

 

[grittyman]

Oh no no no.... we not moving Rui back to the bench.

Lmao remember 23-10 with him as a starter!!!

 

[essential1]

I think play the course they came with.

But if you move Rui to the bench, should only be for Vando. But I think that should only be matchup dependent. For example, Mavs and Celtics, Vando's disruptiveness suits the team better than Rui. But in most cases, Rui talent wise is just better. Because Rui's low on defense is better than Vando's low on offense.

I do foresee Max/ Knecht/ Gabe glut is going to be slightly problematic.

 

[Lizakers]

JJ on the hot seat lol
