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

[Hijo Del Promo]

Big difference. Carmelo has a jumper to fall back on when his athleticism, first step etc decline

What can Westbrick do when he can be faster and jump higher than everyone?

Master of the Quadruple Double.

The funny thing is, I believe you might be right. I believe that Russell Westbrook is so stubborn that he would literally rather retire than adjust his game or accept a reduced role. Like you mentioned, when it's all said and done he'll be pushing $300m in NBA salary alone

Also, Russ doesn't strike me as the type of guy who is obsessed with winning. Of course he would like to win a championship but it's not the most important thing to him


he would only want to win a title on his terms.

Russ probally 500m's deep. NBA, plus the Nike deal and Mountain Dew.

Russ won.

I thought the Ben Simmons drama was bad.. man Russ not only can't shoot, seems like he can't
do sh**. At least Melo could hit corner threes, I don't see him humbling himself help him in any way.

He can't contribute to his team and he also can't take criticisms? A lot of demands from a guy whose
success is not predicated on anything other than being "here".

It's done.

Russ will put out IG videos of him training this summer, scrimmaging at lifetime, hitting jumpers like “I’m back”. Watch.

I checked Westbrick's agent, Thad Foucher's client list just to see if I could connect any dots.

Mitchell Robinson is an unrestricted free agent. I'm sure Foucher can leverage his free agency with a Westbrick trade. He also still has SGA and Lu Dort in OKC if he wants to pull any favors with Presti/OKC.

This came up on my YouTube. I watched it. My goodness. My goodness. Hollywood couldn’t make up a better ending. And people wonder why the nba sucks to me since that night.

 

[Lizakers]

The games keep coming. Another great one in store tonight.

 

[tupac003]

Yeah just started drinking. Bout to light a cigar.

Hopefully we just don't go down 20 in the first 5 min.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Watching the show on their only visit of the country.

 

[Lizakers]

At least it’s not on national tv lol

 

[tupac003]

No Melo, no THT, no Ellington.

Maybe a short rotation helps.....

Maybe....lol

 

[tupac003]

If we would rebound the ball man...

 

[grittyman]

3rd foul on Gabriel so weak.

I hate that offensive player lower the shoulder in the defender and still get the foul ball crap.

Either a play on or offensive foul smh

Why waste a challenge in the 1st qtr though Frank? #JeenYuhs

 

[ill 949]

team playing with a pulse

 

[Lizakers]

They always sucker me into watching these games

 

[tupac003]

Terrible close to the half. But probably the best half of ball we have played since the all star break.
