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

[DLF]

Where's that Randle is trash guy? He's always quiet after games like this

I think most of us "like" Randle but would you give him a 100 million dollar contract to be one of main guys on the team this summer? Ya, didn't think so.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Who said you would have to?

 

[moonman818]

Who’s giving Randle 100?

Seriously had a dude tell me today "Anyone in the NBA can get a triple double any night if they felt like."



We were talking about Ball. I'm on the fence with dude, and I think that's fair considering the fact that he has had some not-so-good games and some good games... and a couple triple doubles.

And that's what we were discussing. When I brought up exactly what I said, when I said that he's definitely not blowing everyone away but he does have a couple triple doubles, he dropped that gem. "Man, stop it. Anyone in the NBA can get a triple-double any night if they felt like it."

I seriously took pause.

Like just sat there.

Finally spoke. "Bruh, JJ Redick is not getting a triple double. JR Smith is not getting a triple double."

him: "People hype up Ball's 2 triple doubles. It's nothing."

I mean... like I said, I'm on the fence with the dude. I'm not writing him off, but I'm definitely not like "Oh, yeah! He's it! The future is here, and it's bright!"

But he DOES have a couple triple doubles... and now they mean nothing? Anyone can?

Aight, man.

I saw someone on Twitter say a 10 point triple double doesn’t impress him.

 

[darthska]

^ Crazy, bruh. Like, you got double digits of three things! How is that not... at the VERY least... impressive?

One clown in the NFL thread said it yesterday. He's not impressed unless it's 15+ point triple double and that Zo didn't have any. Which he did 8 days ago and barely missed another in his 2nd game of the season.

 

[delete1234]

Atleast the team ain’t intentionally letting him get rebounds to stat pad like Westbrook

 

[EddieDoyers]

Haters gonna hate my dudes

 

[darthska]

Wait, now you gotta have 15+ points for it to be worth something?!



Moving the goalposts all over the damn place.

I think one of them was a Sixers fan, disregarding that Simmons had one where he did 14/11/11.

And the NBA thread been scrutinizing the hella outta every assist saying the lakers are cookin the books

 

[DLF]

Who’s giving Randle 100?

ok maybe not 100 but close...I mean if Krabbe is making 19 million a year, Deng and Greg Monroe are making 17 a year, ..he's getting minimum 17 a year from someone.

 

[DLF]

well my rebuttal to that is, imagine if we had actual shooters on the team. Might average 12 a night easily.

 

[licensed to ball]

Give Randle da max.

 

[lovehateself]

youre right...we wanted to sign monroe, wouldve signed crabbe if he gave us the time...and we're the ones who gave deng 50 mil more than he was offered....all signs point to Juju getting a max from us.

 

[kobeoverbron]

2 triple double THIS EARLY is insane. Think about how hard that is for a Rookie, especially a rookie with a DecisionLeBron-sized
magnifying glass on his neck.
If he can shoot 45% I'm good with 12ppg.

 

[sohi 23]

hating on lakers is always the thing to do. Of course everyone is gunna kick the Lakers when they are down. No reason to be surprised.

I remember only a select few NBA fans were riding for Dlo when he was a laker. Now every NBA fan is like, "the Lakers made a mistake, I can't believe they traded Dlo". FOH. You were ****ting on him when he was a Laker but now y'all love him

Anyway, I'm at the game on Wednesday. First time going to the new Sacramento arena.

 

[purpnyellow]

Lavar already talking crap about the coaching calling them soft

 

[lovehateself]

Lavar already talking crap about the coaching calling them soft

of course he is
he needs to tell lonzo to stop being charmin soft and attack the basket or make his damn shots

 

[Maximus Meridius]

And the NBA thread been scrutinizing the hella outta every assist saying the lakers are cookin the books

Real funny. Dudes saying "he can't dribble" yet his assist to turnover ratio is crazy for a rookie that handles the ball as much as he does. And "All his assist are in transition". Just saying a lot of dumb **** so they can feel like they got it right.

The new Dlo is great. Lol

Dudes was saying "Lakers gotta trade him, he's a snitch" now they talking like Dlo is the next great PG ready to take over.

I just laugh at it and chalk it up as Laker hate.

 

[dceja]

Lavar said they're too soft on zo

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Now Lavar being a line stepper. This doesn't help anything.

 

[purpnyellow]

Luke needs to tell him to stay in his lane

 

[CP1708]

Ugh, just focus on Trump Lavar, we'll take care of the rest.
