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

[Los Angeles]

This is where Magic & Rob come down from the rafters and throw that 1 year offer

 

[sohi 23]

This is when Magic's smile needs to pay off. Sell KCP that a year in LA under the spotlight and playing with Lonzo will rebuild his value and allow KCP to cash out next summer.

Not sure he takes it over whatever Brooklyn offers but we need to go hard after him.

 

[lovehateself]

nets have their money tied up right now with the otto porter offer and the wiz were gonna milk their grace period before matching last i read. 

 

[sohi 23]

True but Washington is gunna match eventually. Why would KCP be in a rush to sign if he knows he can wait a week and get cashed out by Brooklyn?

 

[licensed to ball]

**** the 1 year deal give KCP da whole bag.

 

[sohi 23]

Yeah let's sign KCP to a long term contract and kill our chance at Bron+PG next year

 

[Lizakers]

Y'all crazy, after the Hardaway and Porter deals, KCP lickin his chops

4 years 70 mill at least

Yup, Otto got 100 Tim got 70. He's not taking a 1 yr deal.

Only hope would be Wiz not matching for Otto, that would take the Nets out of it.

 

[lovehateself]

nets will move on to Jonathon Simmons. 

who am i kidding  

id rather just let the kids get the minutes 

 

[sohi 23]

Our only competition is Brooklyn but like you guys said, I don't see him passing the guaranteed money for a 1 year in LA.

I was just having fun.

@wojespn: Sources: If Caldwell-Pope's willing to do a one-year balloon deal, the Los Angeles Lakers have significant interest in pursuing him.

THERE WE GO!!! LETS GO EARVIN!!

Dude, you really need to get over this. He's far too insecure to sign with the Lakers, and he's not dumb enough to leave the east. He's going to re-up with Cleveland for the supermax.

 

[cassanova brown]

I don't want KCP even if it's one year. Dude is hot garbage.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

KCP

DO IT MAGIC!

 

[sohi 23]

I would be willing to bet a lot of money he's not resigning with Cleveland. Just look at how the GM situation is playing out right now. That is not a stable organization. Plus all the rumors of him coming to the Lakers, it's way too much smoke to act like it's all a fantasy.

He's definitely not signing a super max tho. He's all about shorter term contracts so he can opt out and resign for more $$$ at any time.

Word. Let's go after Jamal Crawford

 

[MVP]

Long shot, but gotta try at least. He's not a shooter in any sense, but maybe he's willing to bet on himself. Doubt it though.

 

[tonelow]

Would have preferred Hill or Bradley but KCP would still be a decent fit.

Yup I think he's definitely leaving and we will be one of the options.

Cleveland doesn't even have a GM right now. And the only guy Cleveland signed so far is Jose Calderon.

 

[kingjaffejo]

This is where I watch to see what 24K Magic can really do

 

[MVP]

As much as I'd hate the move there's too much smoke around this Bron to the Lakers thing. It's like the return to Cleveland thing except it's way more mainstream. I don't know why he'd do it from a basketball standpoint but oh well.

 

[licensed to ball]

Beggers cant be choosers.
If you think going after KCP with nothing to lose is a garbage move then you're probably the kinda dude who thinks James Johnson and Kelly Olynyk being paid 120 million together is a great deal.

this will hinder on the progress of our young guys

if they ball out, its a no brainer to come play here instead of being stuck with myrie and aging bums like TT, Shump, Klove and JR

 

[mosk33toe]

What's wrong with KCP?

I'd take him in a heartbeat, KCP and Rondo wrap it and up and hope the kids go hard.

 

[QU!K]

Cavs should just recognize real and make Bron player GM
