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

[kvsm23vs24]

Can’t believe this has me wanting Lebron ( the guy who I rooted against his whole career) to dunk on all them Warrior b***** and get a tripdub on these fools.

Klaw come on home...

 

[Los Angeles]

Wowewe

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Trade for Kawhi NOW

 

[CP1708]

Randle.

I can't believe we let him walk for Rondo.

Boogie.

Don't trade for Kawhi, let him join us next year, don't give up the assets to get blasted in round 2. We're gonna need that depth next year.

Brooke back on a 1 year deal is fine. Or, call Dwight.......

 

[CHAOSE57]

I hope y'all enjoyed your 1 day of celebrations

Rondo
Lebron
Lance
Kuzma
Javale

Vs

Curry
KD

There’s nothing the league or GMs can do about stars who take 2% of their actual worth to sign onto a super ultra supreme team, just sucks for competions sake

I saw people on Twitter and RealGM calling out Adam Silver and I'm like "what do you expect him to do?" He can't veto players signing as free agents.

It's just crazy that in the era of the super max contract that was meant to create more competitive balance and more parody, we have less.

I feel like this is a blessing in disguise for LA.

DMC is a great talent but he's played like 100 games over the last 3 seasons and he might miss this season all together.

Add in the fact that he's a bit of a hot head and I'm not so sure I'd be mad about missing out on him.

However, it is hilarious that he signed w/ GSW for 5.3M,

 

[atlsfinest]

The league does this to themselves.

What should the league have done? The commissioner can't veto player signings. If Boogie wants to sign for a lot less than he's worth, then so be it. It's a super corny move but it's his move to make

 

[kvsm23vs24]

I would def trade for him.

Kawhi can get traded and then love where he ends up, ala (Paul George)

Maybe gets butthurt we aren’t going for him.

There are always things that can change a players mind on waiting a full year to make a decision. Might as well go for him now that he wants to.

 

[denni5themenace]

this year was always a long shot, but damn

sign brook with the remainder of the cap space and get kawhi next year.

 

[DLF]

Looking back I’d rather we spent our 30 mill in cap on two really good players at 15 for 1 year each rather then Kcp, Javale, lance, rondo and _____

What are we expecting a 14 man rotation?

 

[dceja]

I'm sure we offered him much better...he wants the ring than he'll get the max if healthy

Pretty much. The Supermax is there for small marker teams to dangle in front of their FAs but the higher salary cap makes it easier for the large market teams to lure them in.

The players union is pretty much the only way to calm this trend, “stop taking 5% of your value you’re screwing it up for the other players”

 

[pmatic]

Sign Dwert.

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

If Dwight comes back

 

[lvjordan238]

Silver lining? San Antonio just lost a ton of leverage with Kawhi. Who's giving up a ton for him now when they know they aren't winning this year?

 

[tupac003]

No point in making moves because of this.

Bruh it's over.

Just focus on free agency.

 

[Los Angeles]

 

[DLF]

Trade LeBron now while he has value.

 

[defconzero]

I just hope they re-sign Brooke now

 

[Deleted member 107398]

Lakers bandwagons going back to Golden State after the Boogie signing

 

[ValarMorghulis]

It’s over

Infinity Guantlet is complete.

I don’t even like this L
