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

[tonelow]

Like who tho? We pretty much know what everyone has to offer and what the Pelicans are looking for

Yea I dont think this will be a Kawhi or PG situation. Griffin doesn't seem like he's in a rush to compete. He wants young guys and picks to grow with Zion.

There are only a few team that have young talent and ready to pull the trigger for AD.

I've been trying to be objective and not look at things through a Lakers POV, but everything really is lining up for us.

 

[had pants]

 

[dceja]

[D_eezus]

[drewsone]

Bi/Wagner and the 4th

i like it
BOS out the picture for sure tho cuz Kyrie 100% gonzo lol
they not throwing tatum for a rental

so Lakers at the forefront imo
not one can offer a better package

 

[MVP]

Lakers crickets on draft workouts. Are they normally done publicly or is it up the team officials if those information goes out.

Anyone know if Pelicans are doing any workouts for any other prospects?

They've reportedly given Garland a promise at #4

 

[MajinZuub]

I don't want Garland at all.
Dude shot 16% against Alcorn State in one of his few sample size games, all against trash teams.
USC who was a mess this year even gave him trouble.
He can be good and obviously has shown the skills but I don't know why people think he's such a sure thing

 

[drewsone]

Culver seems promising lol
or Reddish

1/6 with 7 rebounds and 4 assists in a 25 pt blowout win. Then gave liberty 33 the very next game.

He was seen as the top pg of this class before Ja blew up.

This isn't just about his 4 game college games.

 

[WAKKO!]

Thank you! But a lot of fans are panicking and want to offer the whole damn squad smh hopefully rob knows what he is doing and does the right thing

 

[MajinZuub]

Culver seems promising lol
or Reddish

I've said it a few times but Hunter is the surish player at that spot. A lot of guys with high ceilings but I'm not sold on most of them.
I think the pick will be traded either way.

 

[DLF]

Isn’t it unusual for drafted players to get traded weeks after they are picked? It’s kind of like a car...the minute the player gets picked the stock of that “pick” drops significantly. It’s almost like the idea of a “draft pick” gives you a feeling like said player can be the next superstar but when they get picked reality hits etc

Which begs the question: will we see a trade at the draft? I think so. If so, we basically giving up idea of signing a major superstar this summer. Not sure I ever seen free agency hit, player gets signed and then the team trades their top 5 pick first or second week of July, mid summer league (by then the player may be playing bad, lowering his stock)

Last player I recall is Wiggins but he was number 1 pick so he was super sought after

Funny thing is AD won’t even make an impact. He’s not a winner. He’s gonna resemble Kevin Love.

They won a championship though......Love a winner.....

In spite of him.

 

[D_eezus]

In spite of him.

Was 16/9 in the regular season
16/10 in the post season

His Career averages are 17/10 for reference.

He definitely helped until that finals series but he was getting cooked with all the switches. Most big men do with Golden State

Minnesota was a different ball game

After your Kawhi takes blew up in your face it might be time to chill.

 

[sohi 23]

It seems like people forgot how good Unibrow and Lebron are cause they missed the playoffs.

Warriors in 6.

It seems like people forgot how good Unibrow and Lebron are cause they missed the playoffs.

Can Unibrow stay healthy? Probably not.

 

[moonman818]

AD has been pretty damn healthy the past three seasons.

 

[DLF]

Get LeBron and AD on the same team. Figure the rest out later. Done.

 

[pmatic]

Get LeBron and AD on the same team. Figure the rest out later. Done.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yea we'll be tryna figure out what happened to the rest of the team and why we still missed the playoffs

 

[tupac003]

AD and Bron and we still miss the playoffs?

Nah bruh.
