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

[Maximus Meridius]

Possible? Yes
Probable? Probably not. But I need to put the TM to work

AR
 Beard
Bron
AD
Lopez

Rui, JHS, Vando, Christie, Lewis, Castleton, TT, add sharp shooters like Seth Curry for the vet minimum and Gordon for the 4.8m MLE

#ByeByeDenver

Stop, just stop

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Seth on the way

 

[DLF]

Final prediction

Roster will be:

D’lo/shroeder/Javon carter
Reaves/Gordon/christie/JHS/reddish
Rui/brown jr/lewis
Lebron/Vanderbilt
AD

It’s a small man’s league

 

[pdino]

here's the new big Lakers signed, 23y/o 6'11 with 7'+ wingspan. Averaged 16pt/8reb/3Blk
Doesn't shoot 3s.

He’s probably our 4th big this year.

Lakers going into next season with Rui, Bron, AD and Castelton as their 4 “bigs”? They have to get another center right?

We’re going to be a small team. /

 

[lovehateself]

TT might end up sticking around

I forgot about Wenyen.

If can't get someone for TPMLE gonna have to search the bargain bin: Jock Landale, Jaxson hayes, Biyombo, Nerlens Noel, Drew Eubanks etc. I saw some flashes from Omer Yurtseven, wouldn't mind a flyer on him

 

[sohi 23]

Dlo/brown/JHS
Reaves/Gordon/christie/reddish
Rui/brown jr/lewis
Lebron/Vanderbilt
AD/Gabriel

Mins: Gabriel, Tbj, Gordon, Reddish
MLE: Brown
2 way: Swider, Castleton, Hodge

Hard capped w/ 1 open roster spot

I know they’re not bigs but I want Yuta or Curry

 

[pdino]

I like Wenyen, but need someone who won't get bullied by Jokic ideally.

Good spacing guys and much needed 3 point shooters. Wouldn't mind the bi-annual exception on them if they'd go for it

This Castelton guy isn’t going to make the final roster… I’m sure they’ll find some vet min big, haven’t totally ruled out Bamba coming back

He's just on 2-way contract (he's signed to G-league and Lakers if they want to bring him up from G-league)

 

[essential1]

My best case scenario roster:
DLo / Carter / JHS
AR / Bruce Brown / Max
Vando / TBJ
LeBron / Rui
AD / Biyombo / Wenyen / TT

DLo: 3 year / $62-65mil (either front loaded or flat)
Rui: 4 year / $64mil
AR: 4 year / $80mil


Pivot point from Bruce Brown is a harder path. I wouldn't go Schroder / Gordon, just a waste if that's the direction.
Pivot point is if Jeveon's contract is above BAE then Dennis for BAE. (If Bruce Brown isn't the MLE, you can split MLE between Carter & Biyombo like $7m and $3m, and be able to have a Vet Minimum fit into the last $2mil of the MLE. BAE could be for a shooter at the 3)
Castleton & Lewis are on two-ways


Biyombo may end up getting more than minimum, but at best it would be part of the BAE. He took a minimum last year, year before was $3.5mil. I think he ends up as a minimum again.

 

[tay1]

Biyombo is a good body to have next to AD

 

[lovehateself]

I’d rather have Dennis back @ 7 mil than give carter 7 mil

 

[essential1]

I’d rather have Dennis back @ 7 mil than give carter 7 mil

Probably get Carter for less, maybe $5.5-6mil. I just picked a number that I think would lead the pack.

 

[noblekane]

I’d rather have Dennis back @ 7 mil than give dangelo 7 mil

fixed

 

[reconic supreme]

feels good lakers aren’t chasing that super team bs anymore lol

I feel like that stuff is a trap post-KD Dubs era

 

[MVP]

D'Lo ain't getting 22 mil

 

[Korofi]

Brook and EG

 

[pmatic]

My ideal pivot from missing out on Bruce Brown would probably be Taurean Prince ($7.5M) and Eric Gordon ($5M) splitting the NTMLE, Mo Bamba getting the BAE ($4.5M) and filling out the roster with Corey Joseph and a third center (Wenyen, Alex Len, Robin Lopez, IDK) for the minimum.

Davis/Bamba/Third Center
James/Hachimura
Vanderbilt/Prince/Lewis
Reaves/Christie/Gordon
Russell/Joseph/Hood-Schifino

 

[DLF]

here's the new big Lakers signed, 23y/o 6'11 with 7'+ wingspan. Averaged 16pt/8reb/3Blk
Doesn't shoot 3s.

Most importantly

He’s cheap. Less than vet minimum

 

[DLF]

Stop talking Bruce Brown. He isn’t coming.

Every year you guys fall for these fake reports.

When will you learn?

12 mill ain’t getting you ****.

Descending in position had me blanking for a split second.

I was like why does P have AD at point.
