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

[drewsone]

Bron better tell Nike to give Kawhi his logo back so Kawhi can come in exchange

I have a request Laker Fam. I'm on deployment right now and we can't get twitter on the ship.

If possible instead of posting links to tweets, can you guys screenshot them and post them as photos?

This is really the only way I get access to Laker news besides BSPN which makes their own stories.

Thanks guys.

Apparently, Kyrie has narrowed it down to the Lakers or Nets. Reunion happening?

And here’s after they kicked Jeanie out

 

[MVP]

Source?

Ric Bucher which means it's not happening

 

[Lizakers]

Bill Plaschke: I'm hearing that if they whiff on free agency, and if they whiff on a trade, which I don't know how likely that is, but if that happens, they've got big trouble with LeBron. I mean the LeBron era could be over before it starts here.

Dave McMenamin: Everyone I speak to associated with LeBron, they are holding the rope for now, and all they can do is be positive because this is going to be a crucial five-week stretch. But on the other side of that, if it's July 10th in Los Angeles and it's Nic Vucevic [that the Lakers have had to settle for], or whomever does not meet the criterion of bringing in a star who can make them an immediate contender, you could only imagine where things could go.

Plaschke: I heard this for the first time yesterday, somebody very connected said 'You know what, if they whiff, LeBron's going to say either I'm out of here or get me out of here, or the Lakers just might as well just get him out of here.' So this is huge.

Plaschke is an herb

And suddenly I'm ok with striking out on free agency and getting AD. Don't do it Pelinka!

Lmfaoo on god!! Let that boy Bron walk, PLEASE

In other clown news, Lakers made Kidd the highest paid assistant coach in the league. They aren't even trying to hide the head coach in waiting.

Exactly what I took from it

We can't sign Anthony Davis next summer if we have Brandon Ingram at on a roster. That's also assuming he would want to come to a franchise with nothing but young players.

If Bron is gone we can

 

[the dauqs]

If Bron is gone there will be no AD

 

[tatayniDarna]

whatever they do, i hope zo stays.

3rd year Zo
ad
bron

that’s a great foundation moving forward

 

[MVP]

If Bron is gone there will be no AD

So be it

You got two more years of LeCalamity brotha

 

[Lizakers]

let's not pretend like AD isn't interested in other NBA teams as well, none of which have Lebron.
Obviously having Lebron helps our chances of landing a fellow Klutch player like AD, who admires Lebron. but there are also a bunch of "stars" who don't want to play in the shadow of an aging superstar on his last legs.

It will be an interesting offseason if we strike out. Let's hope for the best. Trade for AD and sign Jimmy or Kyrie

So be it

MVP wants us to whiff in free agency, trade LeBron and just roll with the young core? Enjoy being a treadmill loterry team for the next 5 years. Why would any free agent want to sign with this franchise given our horrendous ownership and management situation? The only reason we even have a chance of getting any top guys is because of LeBron.

 

[CP1708]

Guys, if you think it's bad now, if we strike out, you forget about anything else, the media, social media, etc will REIGN DOWN on us. It will be cataclysmic. I mean, bad.

Even if we sign a Jimmy Butler, with #4, hey, we have a chance to do "something" in the West. We're viable at least. If we whiff completely, they will go all in on our carcass.

There better be a miracle, or it's going to get real ugly. ESPN live shows from outside Staples, Magic sitting with them laughing, it'll be chaos.

 

[the dauqs]

So be it

We will be right where we have been the last 6 seasons. There will be more Mozgov and Deng like contracts because no stars will sign here.

For the 100th time before all of this stuff about management came out and Magic quit and went on his press tour, we weren't in play for any of the top free agents WITH Lebron. He's just as much of a turnoff/deterrent for the top guys as the dysfunction is. That's the reality whether you choose to accept it or not.
