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

Happy Steve Nash day.

I'll never forget it was @ JD617 who tweeted me to check my TL knowing I was about to be SICK.

Dude broke his leg the second game of the damn season.

DLo for any of them, they are worse. The drop off in Guard play if you don’t replace DLo is huge. Spencer Dinwiddie isn’t a serious replacement.
Rui for any of them…. better with Grant, even with Cam, worse with Kuz.

Grant is worth a first. Other two aren’t worth 1, let alone 2.

 

[tay1]

DLo gotta go too. We have too many guards.

Steve Nash lol
Had a good year the season before he was a Laker, then completely turned to dust smh

Lauri Markkanen is the one guy I think could be big on this team. Young enough to build around, old enough to help this window, moves Bron back to SF, would give us size advantages again.

**** you Danny Ainge

He’s not saying anything nobody else won’t admit. DLo is a good person to have during the regular season.

POR will relent cause noone is giving them that with Grant's deal.



The fact that negotiations are ongoing is good.

I can play that game too buddy

Can you play the 'civil disagreement' game? I'd love to see it.
You won't last the season in here going at him, or anyone.
You have the choice to take that as a warning or a threat, and I can't control how you take it.
I do know that several people have you blocked, which is good on them, but still shows that something needs addressed so here we are.
I expect you to clap back at me with some sort of witty quip. And that will be fine, but the point will still stand.

eh, I like Jerami Grant, but that 5 year 160 million contract age 30+ is daunting.

Rui + DLo would help Portlands cap situation/timeline. DLo expiring, Rui still young(er) with 2 years on contract less than Grant.

We'd be in shackles with salary cap situation paying AD/Bron/Grant though, not sure if that's the big 3 that can get a chip

18 & 6 ain’t easy. Especially when you have the guys he has on front of him.

Great facilitator, great shooter.
Fits the catch and shoot model and can get hot on his own.

What he is and how he is perceived will always differ drastically. A good deal his fault, some just circumstance.

Defense concerns, playoff concerns, even fit concerns. Sure.

But he does have some floor raising tendencies on teams he plays on, even if he’s far away from star and even all star labels.

My hope would have been a capable guy who can switch between the 2 and 3 that bridges the backcourt and wings on defense.
Then you could have played DLo alone, AR alone and them together equally.

The funny part is whatever he said I can't even see it...I accidentally saw those first 3 posts....

Thank God for ignore. I'm very sad you don't have that.

We get....we got it...2 bigs.....

Oh I sure can. You and I have had plenty of civil disagreements so you already know fam

But....

Tell that to your buddy tupac003 too will ya

I was minding my own dam business til the chimed in right? Show me this was not the case. Seriously.

Did you give him the same message you're giving me?

Talk to that guy too

Be fair, be reasonable, and let's see if the others will act like grown men

Go back and see his INITIAL POST and don't tell me he wasn't coming at me

I will stand for civil disagreement but I will not tolerate unfairness.

Why did you not "warn" him for the post he made to start this whole thing? Now dude is saying he "accidentally saw my three posts?" LOL

Don't tell me his smart aleck remark wasn't a jab at my comments about bigs. Dude just cant help himself. I wasn't born yesterday

And FYI this ain't no witty quip either. This is the truth and FACT. REREAD all the posts AGAIN my friend and you tell me who initiated the jabbing.

I'm perfectly okay with you warning me. But I'm not okay when you stay silent towards him as well cause he ain't as innocent as he makes himself out to be either. And I don't care if he's been a member on NT for 30 years, that don't mean squat because he's been throwing jabs at me for a very long time if you've been paying any attention to people other than me

You and I have had plenty of civil conversations and civil disagreements so you know where I'm coming from. As a staff member I would expect you to moderate with total fairness, with zero amount of "favoritism", as I am aware some folks here are long time members.

Now I'm moving on. And my point stands. Let's not act like tupac003 is 100% innocent and never throws jabs at me. Keep it a buck and be fair. Period.

$20-25 million for Demar?

I don't see the Lakers sending out $25 million in salary just to get a 35-year old Derozan.

My guess is Demar is out of the Laker picture if that's how much he wants to get paid for the next three years
