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

[D_eezus]

Julius and Lebron would beast together!!!

An upgraded TT

 

[MVP]

how much is kawhi/klay/butler expected to get as a max next summer?

32.6 million based on the cap projection next summer.

 

[ayotayo]

been one since 98. refuse to root for lebron. not hating on people who choose to. but i remember a ton of NT dudes who are lakers fans and hated lebron. would love to see where they stand now.

i see those people(me included) just as bad as all the cavs “fans” who became heat “fans”. that’s why i won’t just all the sudden stop hating a dude because he came to the Lakers.

I use to hate Lebron but the hate stopped the year Cleveland lost to GS without Kyrie and Love.

For whatever reason dude earned my respect after that series.

The Curse of Jim Buss has been LIFTED.

 

[Los Angeles]

Yup, this is when it really changed for me too.

Always wanted LeBron to be more aggressive and he did it that series. Also feel like he's improved footwork and jumper, not just relying on his physical tools.

At a certain point you just have to appreciate greatness.

Hows Tyreke gonna fit into our system? Haven’t watched him in years. From what I remember he’s ball dominant slasher.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Lance and Lebron joining forces

Man this team bout to have some storylines. Lebron, Lavar, Lance. Can't wait for the press conference.

 

[Mr Dink]

I just realized......

Karma bit Dan Gilbert real hard in the ***. He did everything he can to hold the Lakers down during the CP3 trade and years later, he lost his franchise player to the very team he tried to hold down. Haaaaaaaaaaaa!

Wow. Hopefully we get him but can’t offer him much money. He also saw okc. What’s crazy is okc can offer him 5 mill but it will cost them like 15 mill bc of taxes

Kobe on right now on ESPN LA 710AM

Stephen A. Smith radio show.

 

[aron710]

LeBron just put the franchise back on the map. Used to hate on him during the early 2010s, but when he went back home and just straight up carried them to 4 straight NBA Finals and winning 1 to a team that went 73-9 during the regular season and gave up a 3-1 lead, he earned my respect.

Can’t wait for this season to start. I needs the Lakers to comeback to Hawai‘i again for some preseason games!

 

[tonelow]

Kobe says it will be good for the young guys. "For Lonzo and Kuz...and the other young guys to have that good kind of pressure to perform."

 

[goledensilence]

Lance and Lebron joining forces

Man this team bout to have some storylines. Lebron, Lavar, Lance. Can't wait for the press conference.

The only missing link is Joakim Noah. Go grab him Magic!!!

 

[T Lo Sweater]

Was never a cavs fan.
I was just a Lebron fan so it’s going to be pretty interesting to see him play with LA now

Man when the **** will my home team the Knicks ever get their **** together

Fax

I don’t have a ball team so I always been rooting for lebron. I’m from jersey and I do wish the Knicks would get a better b

 

[fapmasterjr]

That Magic pullin up at LBJ's crip at 9:01 PST w/out lakers knowing is just masterful.

Lettuce not forget how MAGIC comes up in the clutch:

 

[freeze]

has he even gotten an offer yet from anyone lol

We got bron....Jewels still tryna bounce?

 

[aron710]

I know it’s still TBD what LeBron will do for us, but what Free Agent signing was better, Jerry West getting Shaq or Magic getting LeBron?

Both already Lakers Legends on court and in management.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Shaq easily for me

West, EASY.

Prime Shaq, and rookie Kobe in one week. No one's touchin that, EVER

 

[Los Angeles]

Can they S&T juju?

 

[CP1708]

Noel to the Thunder.........the more the Thunder spend, the more I feel like Melo is getting bought out, and he could sign with us to play with his buddy.

He'll go to Houston before us

 

[ValarMorghulis]

If Melo would agree to play the “5” and Lebron would play the “4” we could get it REALLY popping!

Melo is a horse when he wants to be
