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

[Lizakers]

Russ 5 teams in 5 years. I’m here for it. Do it Rob!

It was a year before the Suns series that the FO changed the roster - Javale, Dwight and Danny Green were all let go after the chip. Rob was trying too hard

 

[noblekane]

lakers would have beaten the suns if ad didnt re injure himself.

and who knows what would have happened in the second round maybe our shooting would have woken up by then.

but it is what it is cant go back in time

 

[tupac003]

I know we would have been older, but I still wish they would have ran that championship team back.

 

[pmatic]

I don't blame Pelinka for switching it up after the chip because Javale showed he was un-playable during the playoffs in the bubble (re-affirmed that the past two playoffs since) and Danny/Dwight on short-rest seemed risky. Ironically both made it through fine during the regular season and into the playoffs.

Surprised Ham hasn't hired a coach with previous head coaching experience, but whatever.

The Westbrook deal was bad enough but letting Caruso go for nothing made it even worse.

The scouting dept is the only part of the front office I have faith in.

It really is an excuseable and it didn't even save us any money either. Just bizarre decision making from the front office

Bron wanted Russ that's why they did it. If he wouldn't have pushed for it they don't make the move. It is what it is. Ultimately the fragility of both he and AD during there tenure has torpedoed us more than the ancillary pieces. The bubble break really was what saved this from being a complete failure.

Detractors always say this, but the team had the second best record in the league and had just beat the Bucks/Clippers the previous weekend before the shut down.

While true, Bron has gotten hurt and missed significant time every year here, but that season. We all know how injury prone AD is. We were hitting our stride for sure but being fully rested and ready to go definitely helped not only us but every team in the bubble.

Kyrie to lakers confirmed

False

My memory may be fading but I believe the lakers were the only team that got that break. Every other team was forced to run 10 miles everyday 7 days a week with no food or drink during the Covid hiatus

 

[DLF]

Well, Charlotte is out.

Mike Jordan is a ******* idiot

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

so no to breastbrook?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Trade for kyrie (only 1 first rounder needed since nets have no leverage)

Sign PJ tucker to mid level

Keep Nunn

Trade tht and other 2nd for a player.

A big HELL NO to PJ Tucker. Dude is garbage, undersized, and is more of a liability than anything.

“It made no difference anyways”

You’re right.

Lakers have soooooo many options. We can be super picky

[grittyman]

PJ Tucker didn’t opt out of his deal just to take less money from the Lakers.

 

[Lizakers]

PJ Tucker is old and slow and has an ugly shot. Has Laker written all over him.
