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

I was a little disappointed with the podcast. Was hoping for him to throw Byron under the bus more and detail the Nick-Iggy situation.

I didn't expect too much. 

Although, when was talking about kids enjoying the college experience and not thinking they're above it, I couldn't help but think he was talking about Ben Simmons.

C'mon this aint the WWE

He knows that this young team is trying to build a positive team chemistry. No need to bring up past BS. Especially when Luke is handing him the keys to the team and looking for him to lead on and off the court.

Man I think we gonna start the season 2-3 at best and 1-4 at worst.

Yeah we getting the W tonight.

@ Utah this Friday. Guaranteed loss up there when we play there.
@ OKC Sunday. Russy going to go off for 40+ and a triple double.
@ Indy next Tuesday PG13 going to school Randle.
@ ATL next Wednesday. Possible W even though its a second game of a back to back. Lakers always do well and that game is literally a home game with the amount of Laker fans show up whenver the Lakers play there.

There is only one hold over from the D'Antoni era on this team... Nick Young.

When Mike D'Antoni was asked how he looks back on his time with the Lakers. He said, "I try not to."

Welcome to the Jim Buss era!

First time being excited about the season in a while. I know we won't win much but the potential is there.

Ol no defense coaching ***.

 

[dceja]

Okc might be worse than us

 

[sohi 23]

I'm so excited guys. Hopefully they keep it within single digits.

My guess for starting lineup: Dlo/Young/Ingram/Deng/Moz

Wouldn't surprise me if Ingram sits, Deng starts at 3 & Randle at the 4 tho.

Looks like Luke went with the 2nd option.

Dlo
Young
Deng
Randle
Mozgov

Can anyone confirm that the Nike Vault closed at Staples?

 

[pmatic]

Swaggy starting with D'Lo, Deng, Randle and Mozzy.

DeAngelo Russell
Nick Young
Luol Deng
