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

[lovehateself]

You guys gotta stop crying over DLo lol

Last time I checked, he's not a Laker anymore

Nobody is crying.  Most of us are over it.

Just relaying the news Sean Spicer.

FAKE NEWS
but seriously I still see a bunch of whining on twitter about the trade still

This isn't twitter tho
Junglejim the only one still firm against the move

I didn't like it but I understand the move
Just sucks that it didn't help us get PG

 

[CP1708]

if i were a team i would have taken the unprotected pick instead

Nobody wants anything unprotected from Magic.

I won't say that I'm a fan of the move, but at this point I have to give magic the benefit of the doubt that he knows something we don't and free agents are coming. If not, I'm starting riots

Just watched the Thomas Bryant post-draft nterview.  That guy definitely lied on his birth certificate.  He is no younger than 32 years of age.  Even his suit was something my dad would wear.

your dad is 32?

 

[iceinmyveins2]

your dad is 32?

Reading is fundamental

So...the Lakers initial offer was an unprotected future first rounder + Mozgov or Deng instead of D'lo.  No team budged so they had to include D'lo

Jim and Mitch

 

[akajae]

You're right.

D'lo only 21

 

[pmatic]

Why didn't they just sign Ed Davis and Al Farouq Aminu like I pleaded for them to in 2015.

Magic said Lakers aren't close yet to another deal. But things could still happen.

Looks like they offered everything they could and the pacers aren't biting. Also pelinka says their plan is to bring in two superstars. Everything else aside, how is that any different from the past 5 years?

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Until they give up Ingram, Pacers won't bite

 

[eracism]

Are the Celtics the only realistic option for PG? I read that he would get less money if he signed an extension than if he were to wait for FA. So basically he will become a FA and therefore Lakers? Pritchard an idiot?

Than they can kick rocks

 

[purpnyellow]

By the trade deadline pg13 will be worth a 2nd round pick if pacers keep being stubborn

It's been like 3 months of this regime chill the **** out

 

[iceinmyveins2]

I actually read that if George signs a 3 year extension and then gets traded to the Celtics, he'd make more money now and  when he re-ups in 3 years.   yikes!

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lol I'm just saying bro. That's pretty much the same old plan. Hopefully they do a better job of executing it

 

[ValarMorghulis]

And when he agrees to sign and goes to Boston this will be the least excited I will be for a Lakers season ever.

 

[Lizakers]

And that's why you get him a year early for all you guys that say wait til next summer

Now he's willing to sign an extension extension with Boston if Heyward goes

 

[iceinmyveins2]

I can see Magic wanting D'lo gone to hit the reset button on the culture of the team.  If all rumors were true it makes sense to get rid of him now with Ball coming in.  Also helps that Nick Young is gone now too.  Start fresh with hard working guy that wanna make that extra pass and are team first

And who are those guys ?
our best shooter now is Brook Lopez

 

[moonman818]

Magic jumped the gun IMO...

But **** it. What's done is done.




Let's
Go
Lakers

 

[moonman818]

BTW this team better win every summer league game by 20

 

[licensed to ball]

Regarding the waste of D'Lo's talents and the #2 pick...It'll be okay fellas, our team can't get any worse. We're lucky to even have gotten 3 straight #2 picks in my opinion, i guess thats why it doesn't bother me as much.

But i understand why for some its a tough pill to swallow. Its a shame, it really is. But I just wish we could all look on the bright side some more.
