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

[darthska]

Trippin. Kuzma is ROY. Simmons was drafted in 2016 and them other dudes aight but they ain't real.

See: Larry Bird, Magic Johnson

It'll be Simmons.

 

[noblekane]

Officially on board with just getting PG and keeping the core. Maybe sign a vet center.

like brook

 

[atlsfinest]

Y'all are tripping if you think this shows that we only need Paul George. If anything I'd be more inclined to get just Boogie. We already have our small forward of the future in Ingram.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Def Simmons. Dude is on another leve. But cuz playing great.

 

[goldmember]

Baby lakers

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Also we ended the streak baby!!

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

16 missed FTs . If we would've shot even a league average % we would have won by 15 instead of 6.

We need a shooting coach. Like right now. I don't get the whole wait til the offseason thing. As soon as you start working on something, you start progressing. It can't possibly do any harm

 

[dceja]

PG would flourish here

 

[moonman818]

PG and BI on the wings would be nice.

PG coulda get his 3 or 4 years of alpha dog in until BI is ready

[trynafeelmink]

Wrong Thread

But I will come in here to say we absolutely have the steal of the Draft man, Kuzma is averaging 17 & 6 on 50/40/77 right now. Dude is ridiculous

last i checked, dude is on a mediocre show with a former pron actress who talk about....hyped athletes/things going on in sports.

PG would flourish here

same way hes flourishing in OKC?
or how melo is flourishing?

team needs an athletic defensive minded big. someone like DJ who can rim protect and run the floor, not DJ but someone like him.

 

[trynafeelmink]

We already have a team who's last in three point percentage & you wanna add even less spacing??

PG & BI on the wings would be a nightmare for teams, Dude is unselfish, can Guard the best players & is a great shooter he's #1 on the list for me.

I rather Add small pieces than give 20+ million to someone who's strength is Rim protection. The way the league is trending those guys are available for cheaper & a bit more plentiful.

With BI, Kuz & Lonzo we need more shooters around them. Boogie is a good enough rim protector & amazing offensively, I just don't know if he will buy into Luke's system or not.

Bigs in the DeAndre Jordan, Dwight Howard mold are going to the wayside. They can't shoot and you can't even play them in the 4th quarter because they can't make free throws (a problem we already have). Once teams go small, they're effectively useless because they can't guard perimeter players. I know that some of you aren't going to agree but Randle > Jordan.

Randle is a good rebounder, good rim runner and has the lateral quickness to guard perimeter players. The only thing holding him back from being the ideal small-ball 5 is that his jumper is still garbage.

the only thing holding him back is that he thinks hes a #1 option when he has the ball in his hands.
but agree with you overall
