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

[dceja]

Either tanking or building more assets

 

[lovehateself]

Not sure I like Corey Brewer coming back... Actually I'm sure I don't like his contract coming back

 
so we taking the houston 1st to add to another trade? 

 

 

[sohi 23]

Now that he's gone, I'm so glad he's out.

Loved watching him play, but just not on my team. Glad this will open up more minutes for Dlo + JC & hopefully promote ball movement for the entire squad (but especially the bench)

 

[thasoleful1]

KJ. McDaniels woulda been better but I guess Rockets have no cap space?

 

[pmatic]

I wonder if other teams pulled their offer? Or the cap gymnastics were too difficult to pull off a deal like with the Wizards and Jazz.

 

[sohi 23]

Highly doubt Brewer agrees to a buyout. Could use his contract as an expiring next year for trades tho.

 

[Los Angeles]

keep it going

I honestly thought we could trade Swag for Brewer and a second round pick.

Didn't think we would have to take back salary for Lou. Not thrilled but we got a 1st, that helps.

It better be because adding Brewer's contract for the 27th pick is a bad move with Hornets, Wizards, Pelicans interested

 

[Lizakers]

Robbie and Magic

 

[pmatic]

Shout outs to Magic and Rob for sending Lou to a very good team too. Hopefully players and agents take notice.

 

[MVP]

Do the Rockets even have a 1st rounder this year?

Win win

 

[MambaMentality824]

Brewer can be used as an expiring next year. Main motive of this trade is to get rid of Lou so the young guys can play more and we can work towards securing that top 3 pick this year which will be paramount. Great start by Pelinka/Magic

 

[moiety]

Shoutout Lou Will tho, really enjoyed watching him play and play hard even tho he was on a trash team. True professional

1st rounder? Ill take that in a heartbeat, Corey Brewer? Not so much

couldve kept lou and done the same and gotten more

 

[tribals]

Starting off in a good direction with that Lou trade

 

[sohi 23]

Also, please believe if Mitch made this exact same trade, some of y'all who are cheering would be complaining about how ****** Brewer's contract is and why Mitch couldn't get an expiring contract back.

I'll let y'all cook tho

If Mitch was still here we let Lou walk for nothing next summer. 

 

[JCMojica24]

Magic and Pelinka

 

[dceja]

couldve kept lou and done the same and gotten more

But we need him gone for development and tank

Yes and they have Den and Portland's 2nd rounders.

I give this deal a C. Not thrilled.

Shout out to whip for the big heads up doe
