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

I'm honestly shocked. Mwp will probably still get cut while the fo goes dumpster diving
 
I dont care how many struggles AB had and how disappointing hes been for all of us, he should never EVER be cut before 50 year old Metta World Peace. :{ :x

Is this some sick joke man?
50 year olds taking roster spots away from young promising players?
He wasnt even worth trying to groom or develop for one more year? Instead we let metta useless peace just chill on the bench?
 
I honestly don't get it. AB's shot disappointed, but his defense was stellar.
 
This has Jim Buss written all over it.
I refuse to believe Luke is this irrational or biased when it comes to roster decisions.
 
After two and a half decades, I have finally decided to root for my hometown team.
**** the Clippers and Kings
Go Lakers. :Nthat
 
anyone going to opening night on Wednesday?

is there a giveaway of some sort?
 
I could of sworn everyone in here hated Anthony brown :lol
This is honestly not that big of a deal :lol none of these players were gonna play anyway

There is no reason to go back to the negativity and the Jim Buss bashing and the whiffing on picks etc lmaoo
It is going to be ok guys lol. I get no one wants Metta's old uncoordinated self on this team but trust it is not that big of a deal
As of yesterday AB was not a young promising pick lol. He was already written off in here

Lets not get up in arms over practice players
GoLakers!
 
Mwp is strictly a locker room guy u need that especially with nick on the team...AB really has shown no improvement and his defense wasnt all that good

:lol Right

I think metta is still cut eventually and we take a shot on another young guy.

AB had his opportunities and let Nick take his spot.
 
Honestly don't really mind the cut. Just more surprised that it wasn't MWP. But it's not like we're going to miss AB.

RJ Hunter got cut 8o
 
Hunter, Mitch McGary, GPII. A few guys worth taking a flyer on.

As P mentioned, the fact that he's a wasted 2nd rd pick is more disappointing. 

I love Nance but at the time I was really hoping they would package those two picks to move up or take Powell.
 
Now that pre season is officially over i'm looking forward to get back into this thread with you guys :smokin :smokin :smokin
 
You guys dont get it

no one here thought AB was LeBron 2.0

we're confused and frustrated that a 50 year old metta world peace could still be on the roster while any of these young promising players would have their cords cut

no matter how useless you find AB, the point is he is still extremely young and MIGHT, MAYBE be developed into something productive.
An old ron artest, cannot.

So it just doesnt make sense no matter how garbage you think AB is.
 
In the end, we're fussing over the 15th man. I don't like it, but I'm not overly worried about it. You guys know me, I would prefer having a younger (hasn't reached his ceiling yet) player than an over the hill player who adds nothing to the roster other than an extra body guard. But we aren't fighting for a playoff spot or anything, eventually he will be gone, so I'm not too angry about it.
 
Maybe Luke wanted to keep someone who he had in his corner and was familiar with.
If Metta did get cut and didn't accept a coaching gig, then you risk losing his mentorship (not that I think it means much personally)

But trying to go off of there thinking that could be it

Personally I don't mind I'd cut AB too, couldn't shoot, defense was okay, but just not what I imagined he could be

I'd cut MWP and go get RJ hunter.
