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

[MIKE LOWERY]

They just scraped by the night before in Utah. What were yall expecting against MINN?

All I want for Christmas:
-Stout center
-Two-way wing
-Athletic guard

Lol reality is father time beating the **** out of bron now. The question used to be whether he could play or not, never about his production while playing, but now his actual production has fallen off a cliff. I'll consider this season a success if we end up with a productive 5, continue to develop DK and AR, JJ doesn't wear on the team and we get in the playoffs.

All I want for Christmas:

for the season to start

Feels like a replay from last season

 

[Dhizzle]

Plus regressing and getting older. Having these young role players get more brittle and injury-ridden than some of other teams’ aint helping either. Just bad luck all around

 

[Lizakers]

Give 50 mill to a 40 year old what can possibly go wrong? At least his stats are good. Let’s just enjoy the ride and perpetually wait for the season to begin.

Bruh because sometimes you're ON IT and sometimes you're coasting! Tf?

Gobert had a couple dunks last night where AD was completely flat-footed.
Ole!

Who needs defensive players(?) when your offense is pumping out 80 points in 2024

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Who misses a team that has hard nosed and fundamentally sound and defensive minded veterans such as 2020

Javale McGee
Dwight Howard
KCP
Alex Caruso
Rajon Rondo
Danny Green
Avery Bradley
Markieff Morris
Kyle Kuzma

Now why is Rob Pelinka having such a hard time building another team like this with like players?

Oh that’s right…..because he thinks you gotta have a team full of shooters devoid of size to win a championship

I don’t think this organization and ownership is serious.

Til they prove to me they are, I ain’t spending a single centavo on Lakers merch, tickets, parking, heck I won’t even buy a Lakers jersey for $20 or take free tickets if you put em in front of me.

They ain’t worth it because this team does NOT know how to put on a show night in night out. They’re flat out boring and uninspiring.

 

[pmatic]

Very much looks like a short-handed team on the second night of a back to back, third game in four nights.

Didn't even realize it was their fifth game in seven nights.

Need that mini break after Sunday's game bad.

Came here to post this. Shocked! Shocked I say!

 

[tupac003]

2 weeks away from being 2 weeks away...

 

[pmatic]

Take my leg Vando!

 

[pdino]

Bron should be mandatory sitting back-to-backs. Rather see him play well more games, than play every game. Quality over quantity

Exactly. Second night of a road B2B is basically a scheduled loss. No point in even sending LeBron out there at all.

Lemon.

All this for rehab?

His legs are gonna explode if he actually plays.

time to move on, what a disappointment.

Vando played his last game on February 1st 2024 so it's looking like he will go a full calendar year without playing

 

[Lizakers]

Vando’s body is rejecting any athletic activity. His body isn’t used to running and jumping since he’s been out so long.

Shouldn't it be the coaches decision for when his 40 year old player does, or doesn't play?
