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

[lovehateself]

more " slllllooooowwwww roooooyyyyy" ?

dont need another frontcourt player though, at least not like him. 

 

[fapmasterjr]

Time to get Jimmy Butler.  

D'lo with the nice line tonight. Must be them new veneers

what happened?!!?!

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Medina always looks like a ******* idiot

 

[essential1]

The Hornets traded their pick last year, so they can trade this year's pick.

2018 1st then.

Forgot about it because who traded a 1st for Belinelli

 

[pmatic]

Jimmy Butler is the only "attainable" star (same tier as Boogie, George) I would trade a lotto pick for (assuming it's kept).

He wouldn't play. It's taking him to match salaries.

You could immediately cut him.

Same.

Would love to pair Butler with Russell / Ingram / Randle.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I was so pissed about that 100 point loss I been on my own strike so ain't been watching the last few games but this guy Zu might really be a player.



14 and 9.7 when he plays 20+ mins.

 

[Lizakers]

I thought I was the only one who noticed. I didn't wanna bring it up because of the whole Whiplash "hollywood eyebrows" fiasco

are they really veneers, or is it just that he got his braces off and it looks different?

 

[MVP]

No gap closes that quick.

 

[mosk33toe]

I'm fine with keeping Moz... Just have to keep him focused, and staying in the swing of things... If we can get every other game to be like we got tonight, it'd be a great investment.. Also like what he can do teaching Zu how to be effective without athleticism. Also helping him develop a decent mid-range shot would be beneficial. Finally, the non-American connection on how to adjust to US & NBA would be helpful



Deng on the other hand? No thanks.

Attach Lou & Tarik to him

I'm the opposite, get rid of Moz and keep Deng, Deng serves a bigger purpose to the Lakers, Moz is easily expendable with all the front court players we have

 

[Lizakers]

If we still have Swaggy and Lou on this team after the trade deadline, this front office's complete incompetence will be on display

Why not flip them for draft picks? Jim buss is delusional thinking we can squeak into the playoffs to save his job

Jeanie should honestly fire them immediately after the trade deadline if that's the case.

Damn all this IT craze just reminded me....I REALLY wanted the lakers to draft him...but Darius Morris and Goudelocks...damnit Mitch
But let's go team tank!

 

[dceja]

I hope we can somehow trade for butler before the celtics trade the nets pick 4 him...idk y they don't get him or cuzzo all point guards coming out this year anyway

Isaiah freakin WANTED to be a Laker and we didn't give him the time of day......now he's an MVP candidate

The FO needs a new crew anyway, Mitch is washed and Jim needs to go already

The Lakers use to be so good at seeing into the future and making moves before they would have been popular.  This regime has lost that vision.  

Examples of such moves include passing on Porzingis, not even entertaining IT or Hassan Whiteside a few years back.  I know a lot of teams passed on these guys but the Lakers use to be able to see their talents and lead the way for innovative player selections.  Now we just look for the safest route (ie vets like Moz and Deng) and they usually backfire on us.

"safest" ...how about our only route

ok then I guess we should expect more Deng's and Mozgov's in the future while other teams take on the next Isaiah Thomas and Whitesides.

Remember, Vlade for Kobe wasn't a "safe" choice.
