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

Reddick is the perfect Bron player but he disappears every playoffs.

Beverley is great but he’s gunna cost like 15 million and he’s only getting worse.
 
Bring back Lance, Rondo, Beasley and Mcgee. We need that #1 pick next year to get Lamelo Ball
 
Like a player from the 50s

yall really think d'lo gonna put up the same numbers/play out here in the west?

I think going to the east was the best thing for him career wise.....

21.4/4.2/7.7 on .418/.395 against the West last year in 30 games. His numbers against the West in 2017-18 were better as well. Other than FG% his numbers were higher against the West last year.
 
Damn. He deleted it.

Cliff Notes?
Damn it didn’t get to read it
So a guy was playing poker with a director from mlse which is maple leaf sports entertainment (I think they own the raptors or at least the raptors are a subsidiary company).. anyways he expressed to the mlse director that he’s optimistic about kawhi returning because of the recent media appearances. The director told him that those are somewhat meaningless and not to read too much into it. Kawhi is just filling obligations he had during the season

Cargo jet appearance - Lowry had the same deal. If you go on cargo jet Instagram you can see Lowry made appearances. Apparently kawhi was fulfilling his speaking/appearance obligation for the company

Blue jays game - the blue jays worked hard with the raptors to get kawhi to show up. Kawhi only showed up out of respect for the Rogers family (own the blue jays I believe) and he left after 3 innings.

House/school - it is true kawhi has been shopping for a home in Toronto as well as schools for his daughter. But the director said it’s more due diligence. He said kawhi put an offer on a home in bridle path area in Toronto but can withdraw the offer in the time frame that FA is. He hasn’t officially purchased a house or enrolled his daughter in any school.

The director said kawhi told the raptors he plans to take other meetings. Also mentioned how the raptors are most concerned about Los Angeles convincing him and his family to move out there (he didn’t specify lakers or clippers). He said the raptors know this and have been putting together a great presentation for kawhi with the direction of the team and how to keep them competitive.

So basically it’s a little more insight but doesn’t confrm anything
 
Ahh so Kawhi just filling contractual obligations lol

And I guess it makes sense to home shop and look at schools just in case
I guess we won’t know until July he seems to not know what he wants imo lol
If his daughter does officially get enrolled then :(
 
So you mean to tell me we are 8 days away from FA and Kawhi doesn’t know if he’s staying yet????
 
I like collision for us. He can play D and he can hit the 3. Maybe Danny Green (already know he’ll frustrate me). All assuming we don’t get Kawhi

Aint it time to develop another 6'6 3 and D guy besides turning to Danny Green. Maybe get THJr to focus more on defense or....
 
Avery cooked.

I really think Wes Matthews could help.
Better more consistent shooter than KCP

D’lo
Wes
Bron
Kuz
AD
