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

[kingjaffejo]

The thing that helps the Lakers is they are not desperate to unload Lou. Yes, it would be good for tank purposes. But its not like we are dying to get rid of him.
HIs contract is too team friendly and he is the best 6th man in the league. If no one offers at least a 1st rounder then hold on to him and try again this summer.
2 2nd rounders for Lou is for the birds

Welp. It happened.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Seems like this could've waited til after the deadline

 

[sohi 23]

First thought: why now?
Why not wait 3 days?

 

[Lizakers]

Needed a shakeup

 

[lovehateself]

screaming A going off on the FO not getting it done to get Boogie

guess that was the final straw 

 

[evilhag]

wish they would bring back 3 hours of Thompson and Trudell

 

[sohi 23]

Is this cuz Magic was mad they didn't trade Ingram for Boogie?

Here you go y'all. Lets pray.

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss announced today that the team has named Earvin "Magic" Johnson as President of Basketball Operations. In addition, General Manager Mitch Kupchak has been relieved of his duties, effective immediately. Furthermore, Jim Buss will no longer hold his role as Lakers Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations

Knicks 2.0

 

[EddieDoyers]

Magic and Larry Bird can make deals with each other now

 

[EddieDoyers]

I can agree that Mitch and Jim should have been fired at the end of the season, not now.

 

[sohi 23]

Magic doesn't even know the CBA lol. This is so laughable. The people who Magic hires will be more important to this franchise than damn near any draft pick.

 

[Lizakers]

I guess he didn't like how they explained themselves in the meetings

 

[kingjaffejo]

I think I am gonna throw up. Dear Lord save us all.

The only thing I can take hope in is that Magic is smart enough to put a team around him. He is successful in that sense.
Plz God I hope Magic can convince Jerry West back.

 

[Lizakers]

I'm seeing a lot of fans who love this are the ones who loved bringing back Byron because "he's one of our own "

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

John Black is out too

DAMB. Jeanie cleaning house even John Black got canned, what did he do wrong?!

No GM in place though scares me with the deadline days away. And I pray Magic is better at being team president than broadcasting or making astute observations

 

[noblekane]

Welp were gonna be worse than the kings now

 

[thasoleful1]

And so it begins
