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

[grittyman]

PG wants Max money for 4 years at ages 34-35-36-37.

Ballmer agreed to ages 34-35-36 but won't keep payin for his glory years.

Even Harden only got 2 years. Age 35 and 36.

Again, not helping your case.

So you think this is a good move for Ballmer?

4 years from now who knows what the cap will look like, and PG will be an expiring contract.

They should be trying to win now because their draft cupboard is looking pretty empty.

But yeah good luck with Harden, Kawhi and DJJ... is that even a play-in team? (Totally makes up for having a year long negotiation with your max player but then deciding to let him walk....for nothing)

He's gotta be the best in the biz!

Again, he may have something else cookin.

You wanna ride for Jeanie, you go ahead. I won't try to stop you.

Let's ask Jeanie, she's had 3 in 4 years.

Great


Run it byke

Haven't mentioned her at all.

Again, this is just about Ballmer.

He can be looking at the long term, but it's still gonna sting if (when) Kawhi goes down next season and the Clips end up in the lottery only to have to give the pick to OKC.

Anyhow, good for him for taking a stand

Rob looking dumb

THREE AND THIRTY?

I don't ever want to ever hear 'RoBfAtHeR' again, not EVER!!!

 

[Lizakers]

Sounds like Rob was tempering fans’ expectations with all those comments about how hard making a trade was in todays NBA

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Jus sayin

 

[darthska]

Someone tell me we couldn't have afforded 3/$30mil, or maybe 3/$33mil.
Please.
Lie to me; it will numb the pain.
We NEEDED that, and for 3/$30?!

 

[essential1]

Are you saying you don't want to trade D'lo?

Get a better PG without gutting the team in one of the moves, and we'll talk.

For example, Trae Young is better than DLo. Trading for Trae with DLo going out with whatever is needed to be sent out... STINKS

Lebron ain’t taking a pay cut for just any old player.

It has to be a specific OLD player lol

Thank God Chris Paul signed somewhere. You know damn well if Klay didn't sign, they'd give CP3 that MLE.

And I think C CP1708 would have a heart attack

Nah I’m sure they know CP3 is washed.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Jonas went to the worst team in the league with plenty of cap space and couldn't get the mle. Might be a good reason for that

 

[essential1]

They know his contract is bad, and will trade 1 pick for it. Great.

(It is a terrible contract btw)

 

[darthska]

Nah I’m sure they know CP3 is washed.

Oh I don't think they know that at all.

 

[grittyman]

We not listening to Turdwin bro

 

[darthska]

I have a strong feeling we're running it byke.

 

[essential1]

Not the only guy reporting about Grant.

4 years left on it increases by $2mil a year.

Shivers down my spine.

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Lakers going to mess around and offer 4 years 20 per to Klay watch

 

[Lizakers]

I know most of yall blocked Brosizzle, but we DO need some damn size. Gonna run it back with string bean Wood and 4 fouls per minute Hayes?! Cmon Rob, we need some girth to bang down low

 

[darthska]

Cmon Rob
