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

Give that man 8

 

[MVP]

Give that man 8

Haha I said Bean should do that but it wouldn't feel right

 

[EddieDoyers]

PG can only get 8 if the Black Mamba okays it

 

[essential1]

PG still reiterating that he wants to be in LA. He needs a rep to call Magic, and say don't trade for me.

 

[purpnyellow]

PG needs to hit up magic and say tell Rob to do it!

 

[pmatic]

Even if Larry Bird had remained, staying on board as the Indiana Pacers basketball president rather than stepping aside as he did Friday when general manager Kevin Pritchard took the reins, the team’s Paul George problem would have remained.

Whether in free agency two summers from now or via trade before then, the four-time All-Star is still hell-bent on joining the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe now more than ever.

So what do you propose we do if we lose our pick?
I mean options are limited, free agent choices are limited, the CBA doesn't give us a lot of realistic options outside of the Dwights of the world. We gotta do something.

Getting PG pennies to the dollar

[Los Angeles]

May 16.

 

[Los Angeles]

thx

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Any concern that PG and BI might get in each others way?

 

[pmatic]

If Ingram improves his jumper, he'll be fine next to anyone.

That will separate him from being good and great.

 

[dceja]

Ingram will do well with pg and dlo...pick your poison type of team

 

[mr j 858]

PG13 coming this summer via trade ?

Russy or Boogie in Summer 2018?

Randle should not be on this team past next years trade deadline and definitely does not deserve a contact extension.

 

[dceja]

Russy isn't coming and do u really want boogie?

 

[Los Angeles]

cant wait till gordon to be a laker.

bum *** clippers

 

[datkidfiasco]

randle and deng for pg who says no

 

[mr j 858]

Cross Gordon Hayward off the list this summer.

Even if Pelinka is tight with his agent. They may listen to him & Magic over the phone but nah he ain't taking less to come play for the Lakers this summer.

 

[essential1]

You couldn't put PG, Westbrook & Cousins on the same team even if you wanted to... Under any circumstance other than gutting the entire roster of anything but minimum players... And that would be even if we never signed Deng or Mozgov


Also JC prevents adding talent more than Randle does... Also Randle is the better player

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Gordon Hayward would be

But there's just no way he's going to leave Utah.

 

[essential1]

Just for reference.... In 2018...

Westbrook - $36mil
George - $30mil
Cousins - $30mil

The 2018 salary cap is projected at $108mil... Just having Ingram alone prevents you from getting all 3. The era of creating a big 3 when none of them are drafted by you is over.

 

[dceja]

How overrated is doc rivers tho lol never understood all the love for him

 

[licensed to ball]

I would take almost anything for Randle, even another late 1st rounder.

I just don't wanna give him a max extension.
