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

[whiplashtw03]

If Ainge isn't willing to throw Bird an assist by giving Larry Legend Boston's #1 from NJ and Bird is dead set on dealing George, the Lakers have a chance.

But BOS has the advantage just like they did back when they acquired KG from McHale. Lakers wanted Garnett badly and pursued him to no end only to fail because once a Celtic always a Celtic.

Butler or Melo imo are more likely in spite of what's being reported in the wire today.

 

[Lizakers]

The problem for Boston is they know PG loves magic and the Lakers so he can walk next summer

 

[MVP]

Magic and rob would get pg stupid endorsement deal money easily make up for what he loses

80 million though (if he makes All-NBA) and technically that's "illegal".

Y'all gonna be real mad if Lakers-Knicks pull the trigger on a Melo or Rose deal

 

[purpnyellow]

Yes keep them bums away I would rather stick with the team the way it is

 

[Lizakers]

Ya I'll flip my lid if we get 2 washed "stars" like that

 

[Los Angeles]

whip u must cease this nonsense at once

 

[whiplashtw03]

Negotiation tactic: Build value by talking up a player and stating he is "untouchable."

 

[JCMojica24]

I believe you whiplash

So is it happening? You gonna tell us or is this another "bait and switch" situation for your sources?

 

[P C H]

young fella can't get by any defenders without a screen and he can't blow by any big man coming off a screen AT AGE 20.
ya let's be patient

FOH with that bull

Considering that he's one of the best ISO scorers in the league, what does any of this mean.

 

[pmatic]

Sam Amick made a good point right now on the radio

There's no way the Lakers will have the All Star game at Staples next year with no Laker in it. They will make a move.

That's actually a terrible point.

I've NEVER been a fan of Melo. Even when he was in Denver I always and still view him as B grade superstar.

My sources are quiet thus far today, which means the Lakers are busy on the phones assessing several scenarios.

 

[noblekane]

I'm a big melo fan but I wouldn't want him here at this stage in his career

Would be like Kobe farewell tour all over again but longer

Sign PG outright if you want him. No need to gut your youth to get him.

 

[had pants]

 

[Lizakers]

That's actually a terrible point.

Not really, he's saying this is how magic and Jeanie view it "we must have our own all star when we host the ASG".

He makes a good point in that that's their mindset, I'm not saying they're right

But the all star game is here next season.

"The Lakers' young core isn't that good" or "The ownership situation is ugly with the Buss family" are points I can understand.

But not having an All-Star representative is not a point of contention.

 

[sohi 23]

The almighty all star game. What ever will we do.
