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

[DLF]

Zo def the type that works hard and works on his game. You gotta read between the lines to see it though. When IT first got here he said Zo was first to reach out about meeting up to practice. He’s hungry to prove everyone wrong and he will keep getting better and better

We also see game to game adjustment he makes. Shoots 1 for 12 from 3. Next game he’ll come out attacking and take only 1 three. Etc.

Would have loved to have had Hart and BI these last few weeks.

But like we have all said, the improvement is there.

This summer is everything.

I think if we had Hart and BI we get to .500. No doubt in my mind.

Lakers definitely making the playoffs next year

We all have asked for and planned adding PG, some want LeBron, Boogie, etc.

But in this scenario, I'm wondering if we don't land PG, if we don't land Bron (He wouldn't come here without PG anyways)

But we kept Brooke and KCP. Then add the Clev pick.

Ball/Clev pick
KCP/Hart
Ingram
Randle/Kuzma
Brooke/Zubac

The extra year of experience for all of them + hopefully they do well with the Clev pick (would just need to be better than Ennis) then I think this group would make the playoffs, and set them up well for attracting talent going forward.

IF we missed out on PG somehow, and that meant no Bron, etc, we could lose KCP and Brooke, and that threatens for us to take a step back as a team, and that could hurt us, even with the bright core being built.

Kinda hard not to see it, but it all comes down to PG and what he wants. Bron or not, will he come here on his own and join the young core?

 

[kobeoverbron]

no way Bron coming over to the West to join a young core.
no way.

Get Van Vleet and PG, resign KCP and Wookie and we gooood

[Lizakers]

Wow ahead of VanExel. Surprising

 

[Maximus Meridius]

BI showing all the work he put in this summer. Really excited to see what Kuzma does his rookie year. He already 22 and his game is perfect for today's NBA.

I said this in September. I spoke into existence.

 

[moonman818]

Get Trey Burke and PG, resign KCP and Wookie and we gooood

 

[pmatic]

If they can't even land PG, minus whale keep Luol Deng another year.

 

[lovehateself]

Get Van Vleet and PG, resign KCP and Wookie and we gooood

instead of saying get him, and him , keep him and him
break down how you think the team can sign them

You’re right. KCP and B-Lo will get multi year offers in the 10-12 mill per year range at least . We prob want to leave cap space for 2019 so those 2 are gonzo

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Remember that guy who said he was friends with dlo's brother . I actually believed him. He hasn't posted since the trade..

 

[tupac003]

Is IT gone for the rest of the season?

A friend is telling me he left the team to get a second opinion on his hip and won't be back at all.

I thought he was just out for two games.

 

[noblekane]

he gone he belong to the game now

 

[had pants]

 

[ill 949]

The way Randles made his leap in year 3, if Ball, BI, all progress and make the leap in a few years, Kuz and Hart both develop just a bit more based on their more advanced age...dare I say we already looking stacked soon
