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

[Lizakers]

Let's be real
We ain't winning the chip no matter who we get until KD Klay and Steph are done

 

[alexody]

Any Cousins trade w/o Mozgov is a joke

 

[tupac003]

I mean, who's our best defender ?

Lol I know...but man just put your body in front or something. Lol

But probably Young at this point.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Zero defense.

I mean, who's our best defender ?

Nick Young...seriously.

So waiting is our best strategy.. Let it develop

 

[MVP]

The lack of leadership is so evident. From the coach down to the players, nobody has a damn clue what to do.

 

[whiplashtw03]

Did y'all hear what Luke just said during the break when being interviewed at the commercial?

"I mean, we talk about it as a team but it's gotta mean more. We gotta find the fight within."

NICE.

 

[essential1]

Any Cousins trade w/o Mozgov is a joke

But if you're the Kings, you have the leverage... Especially if you're trading him within the division... Why would I take your 4 year deal, when it gives me nothing...

You mean I have to trade my franchise player, and take on your bad deal that gives me nothing? I'd ask for even more then

 

[whiplashtw03]

The only thing that's gonna develop by waiting out this so-called core is mediocrity. 

Just watch. I can't wait to see what you all will say when then 2019-20 season rolls along, especially if DLo, Randle, Ingram, and Clarkson are all still with the team. But chances are, Mitch and Jim will make major moves before then.

 

[Lizakers]

Would DAL send us Seth for Dlo? Prob not

 

[fearless]

What a joke

Being a 7th or 8th seed and losing in the first round is also mediocrity with a participation trophy

But if you lose in the first round as a 7 or 8 seed one year, then advance to the second round the next year, and the conference finals a year after that, then it's no longer mediocrity. It's called the journey to the destination. And the only way this happens is with one or two bonafide stars.

I ain't Tryna be the clippers bruh
Those stars start aging/get hurt and windows close

Cousins isn't that guy then.. Soo Gordon Hayward & who?

 

[whiplashtw03]

I'd love to hear the Laker fans at Staples start booing. See if that lights a fire under the players.

IMO, Cousins and Hayward are what we need. Or Cousins and Paul George. I'd trade Randle, DLo, Clarkson, Deng, and Moz if it means acquiring any 2 of those 3 players.

 

[essential1]

And yet there's a path to adding both of them without trading anybody but Clarkson, Lou Will & absorbing a smaller worse player for Deng.

But no, you must trade them all but Ingram.... And run a team with a 5 man rotation

 

[Lizakers]

Cousins , heyward plus another all star won't beat the warriors

It's all moot

 

[essential1]

Cousins , heyward plus another all star won't beat the warriors

It's all moot

That too

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Why would they even want to do that? Randle, DLo, Clarkson, Deng, and Moz for guys like Cousins, Hayward, PG? Utah Sac and Indy will never do it.

There's a distinct possibility the window never opens with this current cast as well. GS won't be able to stay together forever either.

 

[thasoleful1]

So when's DMo signing

Blown out by sorry Mavs at home
