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

[halcyon]

And the tank continues...

 

[lovehateself]

I'd give anyone not named Ingram for cousins I'll take the attitude and hope the change helps with his attitude ....smh I know it won't happen

He's a beast no doubt
But nothing will change him at this point

 

[JCMojica24]

The tank marches on

 

[laker4lifeman]

Lou raising his value and part of team tank ? [emoji]129300[/emoji]

 

[sohi 23]

Perfect result

- Nance got killed by Boogie... good experience. Nance has to hit weight room if he wants to be more successful at 5.
- Hope Dlo is ok.
- Lou getting that trade stock up
- Luke is really good at this tanking **** [emoji]128591[/emoji][emoji]127997[/emoji]

 

[youngplr06]

if zbo can go from this

to what he became. anything is possible

But seriously I think in the right organization with people that can handle him he can be kept under control. dude is a monster on the court

 

[WAKKO!]

Enjoyed the game and result.

Like it when they compete like this

The funny thing is, is how egregious some of the offensive possessions the bench has. That if the starters had just one of them.... They'd get the hook.

Or the "hey bench is hot" but really it was after they let the lead double due to nonsense offense and terrible defense. And happened to end up getting out of the slump after a few minutes.

Hell hes running guys 16-17 straight minutes and wonders why the team can't close or gets stagnant at times or ends up with hero ball.

Also completely blew it by not putting Randle in at the 5 with Nance at the 4. Instead had Nick Young on the block trying to get a rebound on a FT and fails, allows them to get another chance and they convert.

 

[MVP]

Biggest game of the season so far tomorrow night. 

 

[EddieDoyers]

Lou almost willed us to victory

 

[P C H]

There's literally no point in playing vets and still losing.

 

[sohi 23]

TANK szn in full effect.

D'Angelo Russell says he hasn't talked to Luke about what he has to do to earn minutes at the end of games

Welp

 

[MVP]

D'Lo needs to stop being a little *****.

 

[vtotheinay]

[EddieDoyers]

DLo is such a scrub lmao

To the Wizards:
Lou Williams, Thomas Robinson, 2018 Nuggets 2nd
for
Trey Burke, Tomas Satoransky, 2017 - 1st (They can trade their first, so long as they keep their 2018 1st, which they still have)


To the Raptors:
Lou Williams, 2018 Nuggets 2nd
for
Jared Sullinger OR Patrick Patterson & 2017 1st (Better of the Clippers or Raptors pick)

To the Magic:
Lou Williams
for
Jodie Meeks (Our 2017 & 2018 2nd Round Picks Back, IF we were to keep the Top 3)

OR

(Not sure they are shoping him)
Lou Williams, Tarik Black, A few 2nds
for
Mario Hezonja & Jodie Meeks


To the Hornets
Lou Williams, Jose Calderon
for
Ramon Sessions & Marco Bellineli, 2017 1st (Can Trade, as long as they keep their 2018, which they currently have)


To the Thunder
Lou Williams

Cameron Payne



Any of these....

If y'all really serious about the tank Lou has to go. He is for sure gonna win a game or two a piece in march or april that'll be completely worthless. This isn't last year where at this point in the season y'all have a cushion in terms of W-L's, if i'm not mistaken y'all already have 19 wins. Any more wins really is legit detrimental

We only have a 2 game difference between us an number 4 and also us and number 2. If Mitch/Jim don't do us one final solid before Magic kicks them out, I'm pulling up to El Segundo myself with the draco.

Team would be fairly similar without Lou... Assuming they got a marginally decent wing player in return...


For all the huge 4th quarters, there's a few games, that he gets a lot of run where he's ball stopping and playing hero ball detrimental to the rest of the team.


Maybe it shaves off a win or two over the next 2 months, but it won't have a huge impact.

 

[MVP]

I'm sure getting rid of the leading scorer on the team will have more than a one or two win impact but even so that could be the difference between losing and keeping the pick. Need to get rid of Swaggy as well. 32 ppg between them is not being replaced with the remaining roster.

 

[wavycrocket]

D-lo is like a bigger, slower Brandon Jennings.

Yikes. A "shooter", shooting in the 30%'s from the field
