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

Can someone enlighten me if trading Zubac during the Magic/Pelinka era was a good move? Were we ever able to retain him down the road? Or was he just going to be a trading piece for let’s say Westbrook down the line?
The original sin was letting Brook Lopez walk for nothing to sign Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson and Mike Beasley. :stoneface:

With that said, Zubac could've been re-signed that summer. It might've cost them Javale and maybe Danny Green would've had to take a bigger paycut than he did (he had a bigger offer from the Mavs IIRC). Sucks because Zu has signed value contracts for the Clippers since.
 
Rewatching the Phoenix game. The Reaves and AD chemistry was lookin nice. Also, Reaves got a lil handle to him.
 
Over 3 games? :lol

I don't swing like that, man. Even lifting after a 4th game is a lil too early, it's not even Halloween yet. Season doesn't even start til Christmas.

If he can play like he did in Phoenix, give it to him. We couldn’t ask for any more from him.
I just don't want to wear him down as the season progresses. Everybody hates D'Lo but he definitley has room for more usage to preserve AR (plus AD and Bron).
 
So far AD and Bron are doing their MVP thing

AR and Rui are playing better than ever

If DLo truly is a fit, tonight would be the time to shine, he hasn’t had his turn yet.
 
Here's what's unfair about that: if we were 0-3 and all 3 games were absolute blowouts, (I mean, you've done this before), you would be one of the first to hit the thread with "Man, I'm sure glad we got a new coach!"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I totally forgot that.
AD tearing through the league and it's...
"Bah. Humbug."
🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

You doin way too much right now.

Bah. Humbug????
AD has been GREAT early on. Know what that means? Trade Value HIGH point. That ain't Bah anything.
If he keeps it up, great, ride it and hope it leads to something big(ger). If anything bad happens elsewhere on the roster, pull the trigger and move him rather than wasting him.

I don't care if we go 82-0, it's not because we have a different timeout taker. :lol
The other night I saw a lineup of something like Jax, Vincent, Max with Bron/AD. Ham would have been CRUCIFIED for even thinking about that lineup.

CRUCIFIED. I mean lit on literal fire.

Not a word was said when JJ does that.......cuz it's 3 games in.

Give it a min fam, it'll come. Trust me. It'll come.
