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

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I watch highlights from that season all the time . The numbers don't even do it justice. Dude was just..different

 

[moonman818]

Has Magic specifically done anything for this team to prove him wrong though?

Although I doubt Lebatard has sources within the Lakers

 

[CP1708]

That Raptors game, where he hit the 3 straight ridiculous 3's and then won it with the dunk was just pure madness.

I have no idea why we couldn't have just gotten everyone healthy that year.

I mean I'm not even really defending magic but that 'report' just smells like straight bull ****

How is Magic supposed to prove Lebatard wrong?

Bring him in and show Lebatard what he does on a day 2 day? Dude is BS'n.

 

[moonman818]

How is Magic supposed to prove Lebatard wrong?

For starters, he could have at the very least obtained the star who was apparently dying to join this team last offseason, instead of being fined half a million for tampering

How was he gonna obtain him?


Nobody cares about a fine.

 

[619destroyer858]

is Pelinka gonna pull the trigger to ship some of our players?clear CAP space perhaps

I miss being able to stay up late to watch the Lakers win.

Time to offer the Cavs a Clarkson, Nance and Zubac package.

Time to offer the Cavs a Clarkson, Nance and Zubac package.

For what?

 

[pmatic]

Don't think Lakers would take back Shump or Crowder because of the years on their contracts, so it'd have to be Frye and IT.

 

[God]

Don't think Lakers would take back Shump or Crowder because of the years on their contracts, so it'd have to be Frye and IT.

Why?

 

[sohi 23]

For the Nets pick? They not giving that up.
It would have to be for the Cavs pick next year right?

 

[pmatic]

Oh yeah, that would be ideal. But maybe the Lakers are so desperate to get off Clarkson's money they just take back the expirings.

 

[God]

Clarkson’s money is nothing against the cap.

 

[pmatic]

If Magic and Pelinka want the two max cap spots, it sure as hell is something.

 

[dceja]

Cavs have nothing to offer...unless they take Deng no point in talking

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Two macks is pretty much a dream deferred at this point

 

[sohi 23]

I disagree. They're gunna get rid of JC and they're not gunna resign Randle so they can get as close to 2 maxes as possible. It might not lead to anything but I bet they're still gunna try.

 

[Lizakers]

I actually think Randle May be retained now that we won’t go after boogie presumably

 

[God]

I disagree. They're gunna get rid of JC and they're not gunna resign Randle so they can get as close to 2 maxes as possible. It might not lead to anything but I bet they're still gunna try.

And then be left with the bums they got in return? That doesn’t make sense

 

[tupac003]

There aren’t a lot of teams with cap space. Only threat to lose Randle is probably the Mavs.

The JC trade may happen but if you get the right piece for it, why not?

 

[MVP]

I don't see the end game with getting IT, I'm sure they can trade Clarkson in the summer.

 

[sohi 23]

They'll roll it over to 2019 and keep space open for those free agents.
