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

[moonman818]

Josh Hart's last 5 games sealed JC's fate

 

[noblekane]

Nance is gunna be tight in Cleveland. Gunna miss him.

thats pretty cool since his pop played there

 

[moonman818]

His PO

BRUH

 

[geno90221]

Peace Out Baby Obama

I’ll miss Nance Tho

 

[moonman818]

If they manage to squeeze something valuable out of KCP and/or Lopez we hitting this with little to no sarcasm

 

[mr j 858]

What if Lonzo's injury is more serious and he's out even longer or possibly for the rest of the season.

Could be why Lakers made the deal for IT for a short rental and contract dump also.

 

[kingjaffejo]

Great deals but man.....

I feel like IT is a team killer. He plays No Defense & doesn't share the ball at all. And for some reason he thinks he is a star caliber player and walks around with the ego of 1.
I just don't want him coming here messing up our chemistry whining, not sharing the ball, playing no defense and putting up 30 shots a game. He could single handedly cause the bottom to fall out for us.

But it was an absolute 'Magical' deal. Good work Rob.

hes from akron as well

 

[lovehateself]

IT coming off the bench
frye aint seeing much PT

im thinking a second unit back court of IT and Hart could mesh well...right

 

[delete1234]

Damn now imma have to root for the cavs low key Atleast my dude JC get to go somewhere he can ball. He gon eat dudes up in the east.

Isaiah Thomas? Idk

 

[sohi 23]

The only downside to this is IT gunning for a big payday this summer and ******* up chemistry.

Hopefully we limit his minutes when Zo gets back.

If we could manage to get him on a team friendly deal as a 6th man I'm for it... 8-12 million range. He'd fit perfectly next to a PG like Lonzo and he gives lakers that half court threat we lost since D'LO was traded

 

[mr j 858]

I actually think this trade helps a lot of with possibly making a late run for the 8th seed.

Luke likes bigs who can shoot which is what Frye does. IT if he's healthy might get hot down the stretch.

 

[Lizakers]

Isaiah needs to morph into a bench get buckets type of player. He already has the no defense thing down. Lou, Jamal, Terry......all great bench scorers but no defense

Problem is IT thinks he’s a starting caliber super star

 

[tonelow]

Wanna see what the protection for the pick is. Cle is a Bron buzzer beater away from being tied for 6th in the east.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Randle (whom now that we have room for 2 max slots will likely be gone anyway) and Brook, Ennis for Boogie’s Bird Rights

 

[Los Angeles]

Frye is gonna get minutes if he can still shoot

 

[sohi 23]

**** IT. Can't wait to see him gone this summer.

I'd rather horde max space for 2019 than throw ANY money at a 30 year old ****** point guard off a bad hip.

We go all in for PG and LBJ. If we can't get either, just sign 1 year contracts and wait for next summer. Or use our cap space as an offer to eat other team's bad contracts packages with high picks.

 

[Los Angeles]

Luol next to go

I’m not so sure about Bron after this...what happens if he comes and gets unhappy and wants to ship one of the young guys out by playing LeGM

 

[captaintuxable]

Will miss JC. These young Lakers were great to watch. Not mad at the trade though. JC was bound to go eventually.

 

[halcyon]

Tough pill to swallow. Need to see the positive side of this. The hell just happened......

 

[pmatic]

Called it a week ago.

 

[mr j 858]

Lets see if JC flourishes now on a new team like his fan club has been claiming for years.
