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

[licensed to ball]

Now we're a horrible franchise because Nick Swaggy P Young declined his player option to go chase a massive contract.

Okay.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Yeah that depth we had sure won us a lot of games last season

it won us more games than the previous year.
but damn to that progression, we needed to clear space now 

so if we keeping swaggy P, that's gonna change our record?

Okay.

You going to a game at StubHub this year? Beer on me.
MVP you're invited too

Watch Brook get a max next year

From who ?

Explain your reasoning or logic here.

If anything he might be willing to take a pay cut to stay in LA and play for the Lakers after they use up their 2 max contracts on superstars.

Haha I remember this post almost word for word about Roy Hibbert taking a pay cut after getting stars.

Looks like we aren't getting him until at earliest the trade deadline or next year

 

[MajinZuub]

Our two best shooters, on a roster lacking shooting, gone.

One of those best shooters shot what the center we just traded for did on the same amount of attempts.

huh?

Misread some information that I saw earlier, apologies.

Okay.

Just wait until Thomas Robinson isn't retained. We'll lose the heart and soul of our team.

 

[noblekane]

Pritchard saving magic from himself

sounds like hes putting the pressure on the magic

**** it if it means stopping heorge from going to cleveland give um the number 2 pick

 

[Lizakers]

First D'Lackadaisical
Now Swaggy

What's next? Ennis leaving?

We are the Knicks

 

[junglejim]

Just wait until Thomas Robinson isn't retained. We'll lose the heart and soul of our team.

Just wait until 2018 when we only get george and there was no reason to try to clear cap space.

 

[MVP]

Just wait until 2018 when we only get george and there was no reason to try to clear cap space.

And when they actually get somebody you need to disappear.

Let him go to Cleveland though.  That team aint winning anything and once he sees that he will be a spot up shooter there he'll want out!

 

[junglejim]

And when they actually get somebody you need to disappear.

All that for 35 wins. Sweet

You do seem mad.











J/K bruh

 

[cassanova brown]

Ivan Rabb, Tyler Lydon, Kyle Kuzma, Terrence Ferguson, and Semi Ojeleye are the ones that I remember off hand

 

[MajinZuub]

Yes please to Terrence Ferguson

 

[junglejim]

Yes please to Terrence Ferguson

Agreed. Dude could be a pretty solid player

 

[MambaMentality824]

They actually kind of are? Quite a few 3's come off of PnR's from guards, it pays to havea 5 man who can show hard on the Damian Lillard's, Chris Paul's, and Steph's of the world. Especially when almost every guard plays out of PnR.

It goes without saying why Bigs matter more to defense than guards at the rim, but they matter a lot in today's game too.

This isn't about Brook Lopez btw, I'm just saying why one would care more about Brook's defense than D'Angelo's.

Every G plays out the P&R besides the one we are about to spend the number 2 pick on

I was really thinking about it and its starting to hit me that our drafting these past few year is likely gonna end up being a failure. Obviously Dlo is already gone in a move that was a salary dump essentially... thats a failed number 2 pick.

Randle is definitely a solid player and will be for a while in this league but will never be a star or anything,

Ingram is where I really get down, I just have so many reservations about his game... So much of our future hinges on him but idk if I ever see him being a great player in this league. Hope I'm wrong.

Now we are about to take Lonzo, his ceiling is NOT very high IMO. High floor so he''ll be a solid PG but don't think he has anywhere near the scoring ability to be a top echelon PG in the league. Much rather would take a flier on Fox or Dennis Smith who's being very overlooked.

Overall, its just depressing to think about that we aren't getting blue chip studs with all these high picks. Hopefully some of these guys prove me wrong otherwise our future is literally hitched to Magic being able to lure FAs here which is also something we have failed at for the past 5 years.

Woj reporting teams in a frenzy right now trying to free up money to sign Swaggy
