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

[Los Angeles]

From LA to Detroit

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Clippers. Back to reality for that organization

 

[sohi 23]

Everyone on twitter is saying the Clippers are preparing for a summer move to go after PG & LBJ.

Why would they choose the Clippers over the Lakers? I don't get why the Clippers role players would be more attractive than Zo/Kuzma/Nance/Ingram.

 

[frink85]

The only reason I could think of was that apparently PG was a clipper fan growing up? But I would hope that’s low on his priorities list when considering a team, especially when there’s another team in your hometown that has a brighter future.

They can prepare all day long

PG and Bron will take they free dinner
and politely decline them Jokers....

 

[dceja]

Pg already dissed the clippers

 

[Mr.Guy]

Wrong thread. Edit.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lol there's no way the clippers core is more impressive than ours. I'm not expecting them to sign with us either tho

 

[EddieDoyers]

Bron, and PG on the Clippers would be dope. Especially with all that cap space and young pieces and picks. I hope something can ease this pain of being a Clippers fan my whole life. I hope the basketball gods bless us with a title in the near future.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Wrong thread I’m sorry. I was thinking this was the nba thread.

 

[fun guy]

 

[oh you mad]

JC is gonna go from living in LA bangin' models and Kardashians to living to cold a** Detroit. Talk about a quality of life downgrade. At least he's rich though.

Jordan after finding out he aint going to Detroit

 

[Lizakers]

Can a JC for Bradley swap still happen with the Clips?

It could yes. I'm not sure we'll be making any moves though.

You can't immediately trade a player you just acquired. I'm pretty sure you have to wait until the end of the season.

Not true. They can trade him today. Just has to be a 1 for 1 swap with no additional salary.

 

[Lizakers]

On the radio they were saying 2/8 is the deadline and it would have to be 1 for 1 as Mamba said. Hope we make no moves and keep Randle especially with Boogie hurt

Magic sick of Rob's story telling and scripture quoting. It's Lebatard though.....

Magic Johnson Reportedly Frustrated With Rob Pelinka

Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka were hired to run the front office of the Los Angeles Lakers approximately one year ago and while they have remained steadfast in their plan to maximize their 2018 cap space, the team has yet to show a real improvement.

There also may be issues between Johnson, who has the final say on the roster, and Pelinka, who is running the day-to-day operations.

"I have been told by multiple sources that Magic Johnson is doing that job the way that I thought Magic Johnson was going to do that job," said Dan Le Batard "Sort of whisking in and out of the office. ‘Yeah fire everyone. Trade everyone. You’re doing a bad job. I’m going to run my movie empire.’ Is he still doing that? The details, the specifics of the doing of that job. Magic Johnson has been given all of the power and isn’t doing any of the work that usually gets done. He’s doing the job the way Phil Jackson did the job.

"He’s pretty mad at (Rob) Pelinka from what I’ve heard."

When Johnson was hired by the Lakers in 2017, Le Batard criticized his credentials.

'The details, the specifics of the doing of the job' man what?

Also, what movie empire? What tf is this guy talking about?

 

[sohi 23]

Lebatard has always hated on Magic and the idea of giving people with no experience high ranking jobs. I feel like he's just using their record to prove the point he was making when the hires first took place.

I could be wrong though.

'The details, the specifics of the doing of the job' man what?

His movie theater chains.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He hasn't owned those for a minute, like over a decade. I live down the street from one.

 

[krazyrodzilla]

Man, I was looking at some old pics/stats of Kobe during the 2013 season! He was killing it at age 34 and 17th season (especially the second half of that season).

 

[MVP]

As great as he was the ultimate end wasn't worth it. He's appreciated for it, he killed himself on the floor for us.
