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

[tonelow]

 

Rich Cho is the one at the negotiating table for CHA not Mike

Now here's a guy who's really plugged in behind the scenes

A but the thing is I actually want to believe Whip. We would all love to have our own insider in this thread.

Who really needs a center?

No one which is why the Moz deal was dumb from the beginning. Every team either has a serviceable center or project on the roster already.

Who really needs a center?

toronto

portand

to an extent, boston

Magic Johnson once the Lakers trade Lou for a future 2nd round pick on Thursday..."'I had a better deal two days ago..."

 

[noblekane]

Gotta say it's gonna be entertaining watching mamba defend every move from this new regime. How the turntables have turned

The new cp/essential

 

[dceja]

Lou and moz to toronto do it Johnson

[JCMojica24]

Lakers are finalizing a multi-year agreement with agent Rob Pelinka as general manager, league sources tell @TheVertical. He'll start soon.

[Los Angeles]

[Lizakers]

Kobe byke!!

 

[Los Angeles]

kobe coming back in some sorta way ...

 

[evilhag]

If he can trade 2/3 or Lou, Moz, Deng he's already the GOAT

 

[Lizakers]

Kobe "special consultant player development"

DO IT Robbie!!

 

[tribals]

He's still part owner, but his title as Executive VP of Basketball Ops was taken away from him.

She has final say.

O gotcha. It's about to get real interesting in LA. Magic in power. Potentially hiring Kobe agent as GM and bringing in Kobe as an "advisor"

 

[MVP]

I got confidence in Rob he's a smart dude.

Even better Woj finally has access to the Lakers.

Naw man I agree. Mitch did what he could and ultimately not all his fault. I guess there won't be a lucky pen at the lottery this year, but magic (no pun intended)

 

[lovehateself]

AMir El Hassn saying we should call Houston and try and offer NY to them cause he played really well under D'antoni
NY for KJ?

Mike Scotto saying houston and NO expressing interest in Lou as well

 

[fun guy]

Add Ariza to the mix: Ariza said Pelinka "will be unbelievable (as a GM). He knows basketball. He has a really,really good eye for talent. He knows tm chemistry."

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

I'm open to Pelinka being the GM. It will be interesting to see where this will take the franchise. We've been so used to how Mitch & Co. have worked for years and years, so having a new face as the GM will be different.
