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

[SORIANOTRON]

Not worried about playing Memphis to be honest.

One pick left for NO from the Anthony Davis haul and so far in terms of draft picks they have Jaxson Hayes, N'keal Alexander Walker (who they traded) and someone named Dyson Daniels to show for it.

Not exactly Brooklyn/Celtics Part 2, Bill Simmons.

 

[frink85]

had folks saying we were gonna end up gifting Wemby to a top 4 seed

 

[thasoleful1]

That’s all folks

The irony is, we made some blunders POST ad trade

We still had a pick in 2020 (lots of good players in late 20s: Desmond bane, Jaden Mcdaniels (he’s who we drafted)) but traded green and the pick for shroeder (which was dumb. A wing and a pick for a small guard).

Then we traded a 2021 pick in a Russ deal.

So we still had good draft picks to play with.

They ended just letting Lonzo go for nothing and hart got traded for McCollum who they seemingly can’t stand anymore lol

Bron has lost game one 21 times, but won the series 12 times.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He's 29-21 in game ones

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

If Bron wins game 1, that's damn near pack em up status. Only time it backfired in recent memory I can think of was 2011.

If lakers win game one it’s because Lebron don’t trust them
Game one has always been a feel out

 

[tay1]

38 year old Lebron don’t got time for feel out games. We gotta handle business. They got a 4 day rest now so no excuses.

Pretty much the longer series extend, the more risk

 

[lovehateself]

i say we should win the first 4 games of the series

 

[pmatic]

Good thread.

[noblekane]

draft picks will always be a gamble

so why not trade um for a sure talent?

They need to figure out how to counteract the double teams AD gets. He doesn't respond quick enough.

Bc we have an excellent scouting dept and guys like shroeder and Westbrook aren’t sure talents lol

I know we say it quite a bit but I legitimately don't think Darvin Ham coaches this team at all. I think he just a cheerleader / motivator. This could be troublesome in the playoffs when he goes up against competent coaches who make adjustments

Edit: oops wrong thread

theyre not allowed to broadcast actual x's and o's
why do you think these clips are all usually obvious " keep shooting, it all starts on the defensive end, be aggressive etc" type stuff

Phil kept it real
