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

Probably rather keep KCP because he is the more consistent shooter :lol:. But then again, if you presumably have Caruso, THT and Wes Matthews back, is KCP necessary?

I was thinking the same thing assuming we would bring them back. In that case i think i may lean towards Kuz solely because i think us having an elite shooter would give him more cutting opportunities & he can actually guard bigger wings. but honestly Kieff when healthy this season looked better than Kuz & was shooting 41% from three, i'm hopeful Marcus salary allows him to sign for the minimum again.
 
Only thing that scares me is:

When Drummond came here, fans of Pistons and Cavs fans said his Stats were garbage and misleading an that he was awful

Now Kings are saying that Hield is super low IQ, takes bad 3s and falls asleep and have been saying that for a while and we suppose to give them picks too. A team that traded cousins for a bag of nuts and drafted Bagley lol

My only thing is, I don't think LeBron will allow Kuz to return. :lol:
 
So many guys that I would be happy with but a few late guys that really intrigue me:

Kessler Edwards, Neemias Queta, Joe wieskamp and Jericho Sims.

pmatic pmatic I've seen you mention Garuba, how do you think he fits with AD/Bron? Could Yves Pons be a poor man's version?

Garuba is probably the best big man defender in the draft right now (Mobley - long term) so it's rather seamless on that end. Offensively, it would be a work in progress. He's 6'8ish, not super athletic to be the lob threat a la Dwight/Javale and doesn't really shoot well. I liken him to a Taj Gibson type.

Yea I like his activity and has some playmaking, just don't see how he scores.

Feel like Pons can defend and there's a slight chance he can shoot. I wouldn't mind taking a chance on him late second or even undrafted over Garuba in the first.
 
WTF happened to the D-Rose talk?? i've heard nothing on him. I would LOVE him on this squad.

He's someone who literally just put up 19 & 5 for the Knicks in the playoffs while being there #1 creator. If we can get Buddy i'm with throwing the mini MLE to him & trading Dennis for some depth.

Rose/THT/Heild would be enough offense/creation outside of AD & Bron. use the rest of the vet minimums & Scroder to get some more defense in

He has to test the market first this is Prbly his last contract of his career

I say we give DS 4/160 and bring back Kuzma as our 6th man. . Extend him too. Give the mini mid to Drummond.
This way I can feel no pain when lakers lose
 
buddy is pretty low iq.

but we need shooting

probably the best option we have

please keep kcp

that man was our third scorer in our 2020 champion playoffs run
 
I'd be ok just getting rid of kuz and DS, let the roster rock like that for a few months and see what we got. maybe make some deals on or before the trade deadline if needed.
