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

[tupac003]

Everyone is going to have to fit and do their part.

Can't expect playoff Lebron or nothing like that especially with him in his twilight years.

Kuz is the one who has to step up.

 

[Lizakers]

I'm sorry famb. Still a Lakers fan at heart because of RDA but when my PRESIDENT ELECT says no. I listen.

Do u know what president elect even means? Trump is the president right now, the president elect will be determined by the 2020 election

 

[Lizakers]

We all knew since last year Kawhi was going to the Clips. The Blake trade, the Tobias trade etc....He’s built different

We got false hope after the cap space was created smh

 

[DLF]

Two HUGE wild cards for us, I mean HUGE:

Frank vogel and Kuzma. Both need to have career years. They do, we set.

 

[delete1234]

Lets be honest. Only way we winning a title next year is if LeBron shows up. He can’t take stretches off. We need playoff LeBron starting around the all star game. If we get last years Bron, we in trouble

what do you think is more likely?

 

[CP1708]

Green
KCP
Javale
Cook

Still in play, Boogie, Morris, Bradley, Iggy, Melo, Rondo, Korver, Vince Carter.

Pull 2-3 of these, that's a decent haul around Bron/AD/Kuz.

Not what we wanted, but still good.

 

[Lizakers]

Kawhi never wanted us

That’s why he asked Clips to get another star

If he wanted stars, we have TWO

he wanted the Clips and a star teammate

Wish he told us early on

 

[pmatic]

Gonna need Pelinka's slimy *** to work the back channels and get Iguodala to force his way out of Memphis.

 

[dceja]

We got a 3 year window with lebron...in the end it was front office stability and doc jeanie is a scrub

 

[jbone2308]

“What it do babyeee..”

Mate, he would have possibly made the playoffs last year if not for being injured, now with the team they have he could potentially be worse than last year and still make the playoffs

 

[dceja]

As pissed as I am the nba just got real exciting again especially in LA...our time is now

 

[ValarMorghulis]

I like the roster so far....

Realistically who did we miss on besides D’Angelo?

 

[Lizakers]

The post mortem internal “what did we do wrong” analysis at the Lakers offices will be fascinating

 

[dceja]

I like the roster so far....

Realistically who did we miss on besides D’Angelo?

As far as role players we got the best one better off spreading the money around than giving dlo all that

 

[scofosho]

I’m excited to see AD have a career year and carry this team. Then bron has to show up in the playoffs.

Word is lakers offered rondo vet min a while back, but he hasn’t agreed to it.

 

[jab step]

I hate this front office, I hate this ownership, I hate a lot about how this team is run.

However, I don’t blame them for this at all. They went all in, but It didn’t work out.

It was well worth the risk. It just didn’t work out.

 

[dceja]

That cook deal is solid I expect kcp to show up and Kuzma will be a big surprise this year

 

[Lizakers]

Is Magic still our closer? Lol

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Umm.

@BIG LEEMELONE you got some 'splanin to do. You startted all this Kawhi to the Lakers talk before Broussard and everybody.

 

[dceja]

I bet ballmer told kawhi he’d double his salary in cash lol **** Microsoft

 

[DLF]

Nobody buy new balance. Boycott new balance

 

[DLF]

That cook deal is solid I expect kcp to show up and Kuzma will be a big surprise this year

Remember he ended the year averaging like 25 a game lol

 

[atlsfinest]

All this flies in the face of @MVP idea of "don't trade for players, they'll just come next offseason" theory

 

[DLF]

As pissed as I am the nba just got real exciting again especially in LA...our time is now

Hell no. I hate the clippers. i want them to suffer and not have gotten anyone. I want lakers to dominate. Screw competition. I wanted them to get kawhi and add cousins and green and iggy.
