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

[pmatic]

Something ain't adding up

A LeBron to Warriors trade is nearly impossible because of the apron rules and salary inbalance. It's unrealistic to do a five for one trade in the middle of the season. But maybe with a third team involved.

 

[Lizakers]

If Lebron wants that Kobe and Magic #5 real bad he’ll push for a trade

Agreed.

Getting Steph or Giannis to LA with him and AD should be his goal.

(I assume, that won't happen, sadly)

 

[CP1708]

Maybe I should have expanded more about this hypothetical situation... it was basically preventing a ripple effect.

If Lebron and AD won back to back titles then Vogel probably doesn't get fired (right away at least) and the Russ trade never happens.

My point was mostly about how the situation would be viewed differently by fans, expectations and what not.

I mean......? Sure, if we win again in 2021, and we don't do the horrible Russ trade, and we don't fire Vogel, and we don't give away KCP and Caruso, and we kept adding/stacking, sure, their jobs would be safe.

They did, literally, NONE of that. So one, or both, should go.

I still give Magic the credit for getting Bron in the first place, and Bron/Klutch worked the AD trade. Half the roster been Klutch guys the last few years.

Magic left because of.......???? (I dunno which, but someone in the org)

The Russ deal.

Firing however many coaches at this point.

Letting Caruso walk over money when there was no reason to let him walk.

Whatever the hell the Rambii roles are, or why we should even listen a God damn word they say.

Word is Valanciunas just worth a 2nd round pick at this point.. Lakers probably want that

 

[pmatic]

JV is far from perfect, but he's competent enough and physical. Wish his contract was a year shorter though.

Maybe the Wizards can shake two seconds, but hopefully Pelinka can get it done with just one.

A 2nd round pick to anybody but the Lakers. We will get taxed.

You said all that but didn’t really answer my question.

[lovehateself]

Lmao this argument gets said daily I don’t know what in the hell Bev talking about

Hilarious that JHS is still out after that game where he played more than 2 minutes and his body immediately shut down from over exertion

Hayes and AR being out so long is annoying. A sprained ankle and a bruised hip?? Man Up! As Byron would say

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Went to Staples Sunday for the first time.
Super impressed with the facility and how smoothly everything runs, adequately staffed, very clean and always someone around to help you out.

I've heard people say the Lakers org is a top tier organization, but you really feel it at a game. I've been to a bunch games in Oracle (RIP) and it was no where near as clean, smoothly ran and organized.

It was pure entertainment from the minute you walk in to the confetti (we won) that falls at the end of the game. Ya'll LA folks are spoiled!

Whole arena went nuts for Bronny when he was at the scorers table

 

[SORIANOTRON]

*DIE HARD BONUS*

Saw this dood wandering around outside after the game

 

[CP1708]

 

[pmatic]

30 ball.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

They put him at pg and he's played great the last two games. Forcing it a bit in this one but still cooking.

 

[pmatic]

 

[tay1]

He’s looking more comfortable out there.

 

[Lizakers]

All these days off to practice and watch film, hoping we don’t get blown out by MIN without LeBron and AR
