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

You only had to wait two weeks to be able to type this.

Fasho but there was a catastrophic emergency that caused the team to postpone 2 games

Lakers need additional guard help, but D'Lo is not necessary.

I by no means am speaking on the games that weren't played, I'm talking about the losses we piled up vs Texas teams while Reaves and Bron took turns turning the ball over every possession.

19% since December 1.

Bron got him an open look at the end of the third, Knecht hesitated and passed it back out and Bron yelled at him after the buzzer. Confidence is shot.

He ain’t out there for defense. If he’s got an open look, got to take it.

In terms of Knechts potential: won’t ever be a good defender, play-making is limited as well. He can have a Sam Hauser, Isaiah Joe role, but unfortunately a worse defender (and smaller) than both of them. If he improves and can become consistent shooter, his ceiling is Kyle Korver imo. With max Christie + AR (And to an extent Gabe Vincent), there’s not many minutes for him to develop here

Mitch Pelinka please.

This is the defense Jonas will give us.



No thanks

No D'Lo being why we're losing is a laughable notion to say the least

 

[Lizakers]

I noticed Dlo isn’t even starting for the nets.

Committed to the tank and starting Simmons.

Certainly not the only reason, but watching TO after TO is certainly part of it.

If he could be Duncan Robinson with hops, that be a win. Regardless, he should be getting 15 mpg. Nasty rookie wall though.

SSS, but they've committed the fifth least turnovers per game since the trade.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Myles Turner rumors for the 3rd 4th year in a role swirling up.

Not a lot of specialists seeing heavy minutes in today’s NBA… at least on good teams.

 

[CP1708]

I'm referring to the 11 turnovers vs San Antonio.

Turnovers didn't get us vs Dallas, but I have no explanation for that loss regardless.

 

[lovehateself]

Basically the same adjustment Laker coaches been asking for at least the past 10 years

15 years

EYE remember a certain coach telling a certain player to put his big boy pants on
