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

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I don’t know what’s sadder

Those players playing for that many teams or us signing both of them and starting them

Turns out, it was the latter

 

[pmatic]

I will take Thomas Bryant.

 

[DLF]

I will take Thomas Bryant.

Happy with any of those

 

[Lizakers]

TB all day

Lamb is always hurt

 

[lovehateself]

Considering the signings , lamb is not needed

 

[DLF]

Ad is not playing lots of center I see

We need wing depth for that to happen. Lebron now has to play the 3 so that ad can fill the 4 spot.

Ad at the 5 means you are gonna be forced to either start Stanley at 3 or run a 3 guard lineup, which we know doesn’t work.

 

[DLF]

Good thing about Lonnie Walker signing is that he’s good trade bait bc of his inflated name/rep.

 

[DLF]

I will take Thomas Bryant.

Would you rather have Gabriel or Bjelcia?

Unless you watched him that is!

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Are you sure?

Yeah, pmatic found me

 

[pmatic]

Would you rather have Gabriel or Bjelcia?

Gun to my head, probably Gabriel. Can't see Bjelica surviving with these small guards on the roster.

[lovehateself]

Hope JTA can shoot over 35% from 3 if given 20 or so min

 

[DLF]

Number 18 on da way

 

[DLF]

Nope

Depth chart:

Kyrie/pippen jr
Harris/Walker/Christie
Kd/stanley/brown
Lebron/JTA
Jones/ Bryant

 

[D_eezus]

a Kyrie

Better than last year imo

 

[kabl4z4183]

honestly, if you are the Nets and you plan to rebulid, the 47mill expiring contract of russ + tht + a 1rst pick for Kyrie its a good offer

 

[tonelow]

Not too concerned about the wings right now, enough “innings eaters” on the roster now for the regular season. Will need a knock down shooter and maybe a quick on ball defender for the playoffs.

Can’t really judge till Russ is traded.

It really is and they can possibly get out of Joe Harris or Seth contract too if they wanted. They would easily be in play for next offseason with all that money off their books

 

[tay1]

Nets gonna try to squeeze both picks out of us

 

[DLF]

Especially and only IF kyrie comes out and says he will only resign with lakers or else….

 

[MVP]

This is the line where where I'd not worry about the picks, give them both; especially if you get a Joe Harris or Seth Curry back. Myrie would be given a max extension in the summer so he and AD would be locked up and in some machination we would have at least 3 1st rd picks outta the next 4 drafts if I remember correctly so there is an opportunity to get some talent in the draft going forward.

[Brosizzlew30.23]

We saw this coming...

 

[DLF]

Lakers need to sign Miles bridges for vet min. He’s Klutch too
