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

[trynafeelmink]

That article by Eric Pincus was pretty Good, Dude gives major insight into our cap situation. He suggested a trade of Randle, KCP & filler for Cousins & in all honesty i think that and maybe a second rounder would be enticing to NO. Pelicans have ZERO cap flexibility meaning if they Lose Boogie for nothing they are basically assuring losing AD soon after.

Getting back Randle & KCP wouldn't be a bad haul for Cousins & i think would keep them on pace to make the playoffs. If the Pels are around 7th eighth seed near the trade deadline, Lakers gotta atleast attempt it.

The back and forth roasting has been entertaining, you can’t tell they’re good friends

 

[pmatic]

If the Pels are "competing" for a playoff spot, I expect them to keep Boogie and for him to re-sign in the summer.

I'm not sure about that. An 8 seed to get swept out by GS and you're stuck with that same personnel if you resign? And AD's well documented frailty.

 

[trynafeelmink]

I really wish we could get a real read on what Boogie is gonna do before the trade deadline because that would change our entire approach as far as trades go Imo. If we know he's not coming, i think L.A would become much more aggressive in trading KCP/Brook for better pieces to fit with the team going forward, & really zeroing in on PG.

Boogie is the same guy that didn't want to get traded from the Kings because he wanted the super max.

He's not going to be able to get it in New Orleans either though.

 

[pmatic]

But he'll get offered more than what LA can offer.

So Kuz might get back to back rookie of the month. Tight race with Mitchell

Anyone know if Dlo or BI or JC ever won rookie of the month?

Redacted never did, KAT won it every month for the West
JC won it in March of his rookie season

Not a fan of what the NBA is doing with allowing teams to choose whatever jersey they want to wear on any given night since NIKE got the new jersey deal.

It weird seeing the Lakers wear purple jersey's at a home game and the Gold or Sunday white jersey's while playing on the road.
