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

[Lizakers]

Gotta admit even if Lebron severely falls off for the next 2 years this was all worth it. Hopefully tying Boston and locking up a generational talent like AD

[DLF]

Never should’ve traded Dlo

edit: or waived Anthony Brown

Nah man

What this playoff run taught me was that you CANNOT have major defensive liabilities on the team , especially one that takes up so much of your cap space

 

[DLF]

One more to go

Won’t talk off-season yet...

But I do have to say a HUGE wild card for us is THT. If he can be that playoff rondo type for us in the season we will be golden

Yeah, bringing him back initially sounded good on paper but with Vogel's system he would of been in the dog house because of his defense. Glad they have the money saved for someone else.

We still got 3 more years of this baby

 

[drewsone]

Whatever happens this off season I’m gonna need Bron to work on his jumper and get that 2018 jumper Byke lol

you already not getting calls when you drive bruh time to evolve

 

[MVP]

Still want Danny Green gone.

how many more years do we have Lebron?

 

[MajinZuub]

how many more years do we have Lebron?

I think 2

 

[cedric ceballos]

I'm 38. If we get this title, I will have seen 11 titles in my life time.

I’m 35. It’ll be 9 for me if they finish the job. Although I was barely a month and a half old when they won in 85.

 

[tupac003]

I pray we close Friday. That's going to be one hell of a celebration...

And if the Dodgers win tonight, they could close on Friday as well....

Debating about what merch I want to scoop up. Been eyeing a Lakers hoodie for a minute. Peeps will prolly scoop it all up once we win the chip.

And I’m thinking I will grab a 2020 championship hat. Regret passing on the 2010 cap, I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years!

 

[drewsone]

The Finals warm up jacket with the Finals patch on one arm and the KB patch on the other is fire

 

[atlsfinest]

I'm going to have to trade out all of my 16x NBA merch for 17x NBA champ merch. It's really hard on here for Laker fans

 

[tupac003]

Don't want to get too far ahead...

But who do you have for Finals MVP?

After game 3 I thought if we won Lebron would get it since AD had such a poor performance. But after Game 4 I think AD is right back in it because of the defense he played on Jimmy.

If game 5 is more of the same with Davis locking down Jimmy, he would be my pick.

according to Vegas LeBron is the heavy favorite but in my opinion it's very close between LeBron and AD. It depends on how the rest of the series goes. If either of them go crazy in game five then that person will win it. Personally, I don't care. I would love for AD to win it. It's a great feather in your cap for your career but LeBron is equally deserving

I disagree.

LeBron is the engine, the brain, the heart, the soul of this team AND he is basically averaging a 25 pt triple double.
I don’t deny that AD played great defense but they were able to completely neutralize AD on offense last two games.
Plus I want LeBron to get it bc I think it will motivate ad to try and get it next year. Also LeBron orchestrates this entire team ans bas been our leader front and center. It HAS to be him.

 

[Rockabilly Zombie]

I’m 39. 40 in march. Been through all the ups and downs and it’ll so sweet to get back. I think I’m leaning Bron for mvp simply for that floor general type of approach. It would be nice for a co-mvp though.

 

[drewsone]

Lebron has been playing solid defense too tho
Left him on an island with Bam and did well when he was forced onto Jimmy. Jimmy didn’t even look to score on him really

but AD had a DPOY type night 100%

 

[yobyellav]

I think AD should get mvp, but honestly don’t care. Just want the title.
