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

[CHAOSE57]

**** basketball reasons, set us back so much.

Regarding KD and/or Kyrie. I'll take Irving over Durant, unless we can trade Westbrook for KD. I'm not giving up AD for KD if Brooklyn is going to require AD in order to get KD.

If we trade Russ for Kyrie, draft a big at #35, split the $6.4m MLE to get a couple solid young wing defenders or shooters, then trade THT for another 3&D, shooting guard, or 2-way Big, we right back in the championship hunt.

We would be set at PG with Kyrie and a 100% Nunn.

Reaves, Gabriel, and S.Johnson provide solid, young, and hungry role players off the bench much like GS had with GP, Kuminga, and Poole.

Warriors and those soft @** Celtics would be in trouble. A 100% healthy Milwaukee squad IMO is still the team to beat cause of their size and length. Had MIL been in the Finals with Middleton, they would've beaten the Warriors.

Westbrook and AD for Kyrie and KD....

This is crazy.....

Me or the Show? Tried to tell y'all Russ was on da way. This makes too much sense fit wise, yea we'll be top heavy again, but basketball wise it'd be nirvana barring health.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Not really excited about a Kyrie/AD core moving forward

Me neither bruh, get #18 out of it next season though...

 

[DLF]

Need kyrie to go full ballistic with pulling every trick in the book

 

[noblekane]

this teams success will always depend on ad's health. he hasnt been able to stay healthy as a laker for a whole season since hes gotten here.

we really do need a couple of athletic bigs to plug in when he inevitably goes down.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

[VinMillerHearn58]

[UsualSuspects]

[D_eezus]

He coming off the bench… **** it why not

 

[tupac003]

Wow…it’s gonna happen ain’t it.

I highly doubt it. Like 95% of me says no chance.

But....

Another big/wing the Lakers should look to draft if still available at 35 is 6'11" Serbian Nikola Jovic.

I've seen his name on mocks around that slot, and the only thing I know is that his name trips me out every time I read it lol.

Yeah aside from the name and it's striking similarity to Jokic, dude can ball and has tremendous upside. He would be a steal at 35 but I just don't think he'll get past the first round


Lakers need another playmaker/ball handler to help Bron out right? Jovic can do things with the ball in his hands in transition that only guards do. And Jovic is 6'11" so he can pretty much switch all positions. His game kinda reminds me of the late great Drazen Petrovic
