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

[drewsone]

At worst, Westbrook’s floor is Dennis Scrotum

and hes a better passer lol

dennis over here straight throwing the ball away every time he tried to pass lol

 

[atlsfinest]

I'm assuming there is gonna be a Shroeder sign and trade coming

i believe so too. ,has to be.

i think hes seeing his market is trash. he bet on himself and lost lol

just gotta find a suitor
but at this point with russ idc if he walks for nothing but im not sure how that would implicate our cap

hopefully

we need to watch
NYK
Bulls
Pels
Dallas
Miami

Those will determine if Shroeder gets a deal straight up. My money is on Dallas. We know how much they love Europeans

Kuz appreciate post!

Was at that game this night (was on my birthday) KUZ TORE UP THE CELTICS ESPECIALLY IN THE 4TH. THAT BEHIND THE BACK PASS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

He leaves for nothing: we get nothing

sign and trade and you get something.

just sign him if no takers. Maybe short term deal(1+1). 2/40 would be good with team option. Can use him off bench or trade him at deadline.

When’s the lakerstore pre order

Need a new 0 now that kuz is in washington (probably gonna pick up a kuz jersey too,)

 

[pdino]

Westbrook makes max money (more than Lebron). Kuzma was paid <1/3rd of his salary (including new contract). It'll be veterans minimum bargain bin and exceptions to fill out the rest of the roster.

when lebron averages 26/7/7 while westbrook averages 19/10/10 for the season next year>>>

Going to have to make the trip to Staples or El Segundo to cop.

This was the case with or without Kuzma.

It's going to take Westbrook 20 shots to average 19 points per game.

While our defenses worse in Westbrook the shooting 42% from the field and leading he league and turnover.

You guys get enamored with raw stats but don't care about efficiency or effectiveness. There's a reason why Westbrook was traded for John Wall last year

Wonder what Vogel thinks is this. You know damn well he had no say in this lol

Kuzma 13Mil + KCP 13Mil + Harrell 10Mil = 36Mil Vs Westbrook 44Mil

36Mil - 44Mil= 8Mil extra salary used to acquire Westbrook

 

[tonelow]

Not getting Buddy and not getting a pick in this draft will hurt.

Lol not how it works. We are over the cap before Westbrook. We are over the cap after Westbrook.

Over the cap teams: vet mins and exceptions. Only way to add players

 

[MVP]

S&T still on the table of course for Schröder

 

[DLF]

Poor Kentucky kid. That’s tragic. Feel for the family. My goodness

 

[lovehateself]

It’s a good thing we got 2nd rounders to round out the roster with

You can go over the salary cap. You just pay luxury tax. It's not a "hard" cap, it's soft.

Lol they are 2nd rounders in the 2024 and 2028 draft

 

[nermindee]

Thank you Trez and KCP for your efforts
Good Luck towards their careers

Watch washington trade kuz and Harrell to BKN for Dinwiddie and then BKN trades them to Sac for Hield lol

Hoping we can keep CARUSO
