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

[tay1]

Nah man. It’s only December

Season starts on the 28th brother

 

[DLF]

Stupid nfl putting a great game on the nfl network and not fox.

 

[atlsfinest]

 

[mr j 858]

Not time to panic yet.

5 straight losses and 3 at home. AD out again for a long time. Lakers 2 games under 500.

 

[DLF]

Need an idiot like pelinka to trade for him!!!!

 

[DLF]

Russ woulda been the perfect Clipper

 

[DLF]

When this guy makes sense. You know you in trouble

 

[sohi 23]

Russell Westbrook is ******* garbage.

 

[atlsfinest]

 

[DLF]

curious to see what basketball nerds and analytics say about collison. I felt like his defense was pretty good. Shot will come with rhythm. Hope he plays a lot these next 10 days.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Don't worry guys he's outta here.

100% guarantee he's traded.

 

[DLF]

Don’t like the pessimism. Team is great. It’s only December. You guys are panickers

 

[DLF]

Sorry brosizzle
But we have absolutely got to play small. We cannot play Dwight Russ and tht together. You just cannot. Bring tht off the bench.
Bring Dwight off the bench

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Definitely keep Stanley and DC. Don't care who you waive. DAJ, Baze, AB etc. Let IT expire. Keep combing through the waiver wire when names pop up.

Give Rondo a coaching/scouting/player development spot next to Handy. He'll probably excel in another role around the team. It's clear he has support with most of the team and the coaches.

RIght now Rustle stock is low. Gotta pump and dump to even get something.

 

[DLF]

Hate to say it but we need a few more people in Covid protocols. We need to bring in a 6’8 to 6’10 high energy center on a 10 day to start with lebron johnson monk and Russ. Just to see what it’s like.

Russ= dogecoin


Honestly John wall would be better. But I think he has 3 years left

 

[ill 949]

Can a team straight up release a player? Buy-out his whole contract, AEG better help us with that Crypto money.

 

[DLF]

Can a team straight up release a player? Buy-out his whole contract, use that Crypto money.

Yes of course


We can waive any player. It’s usually a vet min guy


Baze
Dj
Monk
Ellington
Melo
Ariza
AB
Reaves

Can be simply waived

AB is most likely bc his deal would be void once released. The other guys, Jeanie would need to pay the entire salary and tax on it

 

[DLF]

Wouldn’t mind a ad/johnson/ariza/Reaves/bron lineup

Shooting would be an issue but this assumes ad is on his A+ Game and Reaves and Ariza shooting 35 percent from 3. At least in spurts would be good

I'd put in Monk for 1 of Ariza/Reaves and we got something

 

[Lizakers]

We gettin new rock bottoms every night. Lesgooooo

 

[DLF]

I’d replace Collison for rondo
I’d replace Johnson (assuming he plays decent next two games) for DJ

Still got Baze and AB to waive for other other wings that become available.


Trade tht and Nunn for grant.


Get AD a good psychiatrist.


We might have a chance in a play in

 

[tupac003]

Turned it off after the 3rd.

Watched the rest of Cards game.

Watched the 4th qtr on DVR.

Russ is the worst "superstar" to ever don a Laker uniform.

I feel like an idiot buying the Russ Can't beat LA shirt.

Should have bought Melo.

Damn man sorry about the shirt. I was making fun of people earlier who bought Russ gear. We almost had that game.


Anyhow:

Throw OKC like 3 2nd rounders. Nola gets their big three Russ/Ingram/Zion with graham and valuncunious as shooters. Can make the play in easily. Gets griffin some time as gm.

 

[noblekane]

guys you have to stop thinking westbrook is getting traded.

nobody wants him.

so the only guy we could trade that someone would want is tht

and we probably could only get someone like danny green for tht if were lucky.
