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

[htg designs]

Small sample size but, If this was the roster to start the season, we would not be fighting for the play in.

 

[tupac003]

Vando gotta start from now on.

It was glorious to watch our PG not smoke layups, not make god awful turnovers and when he shot 3's, you didn't groan.....

We gotta long way to go and we all know that but we got a punchers chance.

We didn't have that with Russ. Wish him all the best but he just NEVER fit on this team.

Not having to give a **** about nothing Westbrook related

 

[trynafeelmink]

for All the talk AD gets about being often injured, for some reason i don't see the same narrative on these other players. Or them being Tossed in trades every other day

Over the past three years

AD - 111
Steph - 165
Zion - 90
PG - 128
Kawhi - 85

Kawhi has missed way more than 85 games over the last 3 years

We know what it is.

Legit one of the most spirit breaking plays in the NBA.

DLo does have a habit from time to time to heat check into these, and when he misses, any hot streak died right there. But the amount of times they go in and then there’s an immediate timeout from the other team is a lot.

C'mon.

If I put out rumors I'd do better than Colin.

Does Dallas even have anything to trade, or is he suggesting Kyrie for AD?

 

[pmatic]

Before the Suns gave up all their picks for KD, you could've convinced me a trade offer for Ayton and picks was for AD was acceptable.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If you tell me AD is gonna miss 15-20 games a year, fall down a lot but be ready for the playoffs..I'll take that all day

 

[essential1]

If you trade AD for Kyrie. You then need to move DLo for a big.
The gap between Kyrie and DLo versus the gap of whoever DLo brings back will be the same damn team you have now. Maybe worse because there’s not as much inside game.

If it’s DLo for Kyrie. It’ll require extra assets. Vando and picks likely. Then it’s a better, yet similar team you had before the deadline

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'm pretty sure this is more or less the team going forward. I know the FO has been questionable but I think they have a vision and won't do anything drastic. Rob has the reigns now

 

[DLF]

AD stepping to Rob last night and hugging him I think was related to AD accepting Rob shopping him at the deadline. Only way to describe his behavior vs Thunder.

To the mavs? Makes sense for Mavs but they ain’t got a good package.

D’lo for kyrie would be straight up bc if kyrie is asking for sign and trade then Dallas loses all leverage bc what are you gonna do? Sign a disgruntled kyrie? Mavs would be getting someone back vs losing him for nothing

[pmatic]

IF a Kyrie trade is gonna happen, it needs to happen in the middle of next season. Acquiring over the summer would **** this team's depth again moving forward.

Track record isn't great on that so far.

 

[pmatic]

TBF, everyone besides Jokic and Mikal Bridges misses 15-20 games a year.

 

[king j]

They should leave Kyrie where he at....Upgrading Rui w/Jeremy Grant or OG is the move to make imo

Yes. Because the Mavs will create a bidding war. Kyrie can’t make it to the Lakers outright. Mark Cuban despises the Lakers.

They will ask Kyrie give us a list of 3-5 teams. We’ll get you your money and to a team you want.

And poof, if Kyrie doesn’t sign with the Mavs, he’s on the Miami Heat.
