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

[Peep Game]

It was a fair trade, watcha talking about

A 1st round pick is more valuable than a 30somethig year old "Super 6th man" who had a career year on terrible team.

Super 6th men DONT work anymore. Bench units >>>. They already got EG. I just think Dantoni and the rockets wanted more scoring where they didn't need it.

Lou Will doesn't make them any better.

I don't think you watch enough Rockets games to realize the bench scoring sputters if Gordon is off. I'm not sure how adding another much needed scorer doesn't make a team that's already good but shaky better. Plus they got rid of Brewer, who comes in when things are going great and ruins it, no matter if he's playing 6 minutes or 20.

Whip you got sum esplaining to do

On the phone with peeps from The Vert right now. There may be another one coming.

You already know A LOT of big things happened just today alone. Glad to see everyone marked their calendars for Tuesday.

Don't blink or you might miss something between the lines!

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

That was 2014 correct? When we actually owned our own pick in the draft correct?

[MVP]

I take that as a yes.

Did Mitch get anything for Pau who was an all star the following year? Yes/No

Did he get anything for Dwert? Yes/No

Had he gotten anything for Lou/Nick? Yes/No

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I take that as a yes.

What point are you even making? That has no consequence whatsoever

In grading what the deal is it does. They could very well get another Nance this year if the pick isn't moved in another deal.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Is the Wiz, CHA, and Indy pick heavily protected?

 

[denni5themenace]

you say that like the rockets are going to miss the playoffs

this **** gonna be around the ~25th

nah i know itll b around 25-27

ooooooh! that joke went over my head completely rep

That's the word and Hou pick wasn't

He been Broussarding all this time.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense.

Bruh..whut. That doesn't make any sense and you know it. We both know you're bs'n at this point. Completely hop scotching the actual point as you tend to do and straying from the topic. Let's try to keep this linear

1. Mitch never got this kinda value for pieces
2. Actually he did, way better value actually. Here's proof
3. Yea but we had our own pick

Don't start over. Just stop

First you said he never got value for pieces. Now you wanna modify it and say he never got value for pieces, that were big name players, two days before the trade deadline, in years where we owned our own unprotected draft pick. Out here looking like an ESPN stat.

Now you wanna say hey they could draft another Nance. Tell me what that has to do with anything in the linear progression as laid out above. Nothing

 

[MVP]

Not today Satan. You not going to kill my vibe.

 

[noblekane]

If they can trade nick young before the deadline I will never talk bad about magic again lol

Who cares. Let the loins rest man. No more infighting. We are one now. Except Dlo fans vs Dlo haters. I got a feeling that's ending soon too. 

I just want to know a few things from Mamba though, what are you referring to specifically when you say Mitch didn't get value on assets. I think you referred to Pau and Dwight. 

But those two points aren't factual. 

1) Pau didn't have a market during the 2014 deadline. He was getting max a second rounder and a salary fill in. No one was offering a first rounder from reports. Correct me if I'm wrong. So you're complaining about an imaginary deal. 

2) Shipping off Dwight in 2013 during the deadline is based solely on fantasy. How the hell do you tell Kobe that we are scraping everything and rebuilding right now and not even giving you a chance at a run in the playoffs. That makes 0 sense. On top of that, let's say hypothetically your star player known to cause a ruckus is cool with shipping off his second best player, what are people giving up to get a guy that is gong to be a free agent in a few months. 

Mitch isn't without fault, and a great argument can be made what happened today with a new regime was much needed. Maybe the game has passed Mitch a dude that's been doing this for like 30 years. 

But you can't be altering events man. At least from what I understand went down.

Sweeping the floor right now.

 

[pmatic]

@ArashMarkazi The Lakers' goal going into the trade deadline was to get a first round pick for Lou Williams and anything for Nick Young.

Team could be unwatchable if they trade away Swaggy.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Swaggy P on the chopping block apparently

 

[WAKKO!]

Last time we used houstons pick we landed larry lance right?

 

[laker4lifeman]

The Zu and Nance show is enough to watch.
