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

[lovehateself]

The only thing I'm worried about heading into training camp is if Svi can crack the rotation.

The guys he'd be threatening for minutes are probably Hart, Lance, and KCP... quality guys but I don't think they can out shoot the boy Svi.

kcp/hart
BI/Lance

he may not see minutes at all unless there is an injury.

Yeah.

I mean if Ingram is healthy I wasn't under the impression that Svi had any chance of stealing playing time from him.

But we know how Luke is with his rotations. I could see Luke sitting KCP, Hart and especially Lance in favor of Svi's shooting.

Ppl loved the 9 highs never understood it. i was more of a fan of the kobe 7s.

the VII's were the worst performance shoe i have ever played in. dead ***. can't even replace the insoles because the insoles and tongue were together..

 

[CHAOSE57]

I remember getting the Christmas cw of the 7 but had to return it. Shoe was basura performance wise.

 

[anderson]

hart better play 30+ mins a game. idgaf. should not hinder the dude's development by not giving him minutes as he continuously proven he can play.

you gotta chill b
youre talking about guys who have logged in heavy minutes in the NBA and have shot above average %'s from 3 and are solid defensively.
Svi a great find but he isnt quite lighting up the summer league

Him being able to create space and shoot off the dribble is a game changer. Didn't think he had that in him.

I could see Svi taking Lance's minutes on some nights, not KCP and Hart tho.

Luke will bench anybody. He doesn't care how many minutes you've logged, B.

Shooting will be a need for the Lakers sooner than later. Svi is your guy is all I'm saying.

kobe 7 attack strong insert almost gave me 2 ankle sprains.
Went back straight to my Kobe 5 and 6s that year...

Both starting guard spots will be a battle in training camp. Hope Zo and Hart win out.

I want Zo to win the battle but imagine how entertaining it would be to hear Lavar crying if Lonzo was suddenly coming off the bench!

Oh man...

 

[akajae]

I don't know what any of these numbers look like

Almost strictly casual at this point. Only really hoop in my 8s, all my cartilage is almost gone in my knee.

I was never a fan of the Kobe boxing shoes...

its one sure fire way to instantly point out a Kobe fan

 

[ton3rl]

 

[sohi 23]

Kobe 4-8 all looked the same to me

 

[lovehateself]

Pull up. You can't dress papi

chinos /polo for work
workout clothes / runners the rest of the time

I think zo will...and it’s probably already been decided. It’s just a way to say “see he improved. He won.” When in reality it was always gonna be zo/Kcp/Ingram/LeBron/Mcgee

Bench rondo/hart/Stephenson/Kuzma/Wagner

This makes most sense. Also, Lukes philosophy has always been “don’t matter if you start. You can still get most minutes even if you come off bench”

 

[DLF]

And y’all letting lebronhasmorefinalsmvp in here? I’ve blocked him so I don’t know if he posts in here but sometimes I see that he “likes” certain posts. That guy was the biggest lakers and Kobe hater. I move to not entertain him here

he was seemingly given a summer league roster spot, not sure if he gets a training camp invite tho
