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

[halcyon]

Gahhh dang. This off season is dreadful. Hopefully there's videos of the Lonzo workout tomorrow and see if the hype is really worth it.

BBB Team. Big ballers only

Team Fox.

But would immediately start looking for a reshuffling of the bench spots at the 1 and 2.

Fox / Russell
??? / ????
Nwaba

Backup PG is a little less important because Russell can slide in. Would need somebody to give a solid 10 minutes total (start of 2nd and start of 4th).

JC can handle the rock at pg and get buckets against second units

He could... And at that point I agree.

But whether we drafted Ball or Fox, which is what I think it's down to for us... He may not be the right fit anymore... Everything we need him to be, it appears he's either been stagnant, or gone backwards... Passing, shooting, defense.


I'd be far more happy with a traditional 3 & D guy.... And just take chances on that guy who fills in for a handful of minutes... And try to use Clarkson with other things to reshuffle a bit elsewhere

I don't get the Fox hype at all. Just like in 2015, I never understood the Mudiay hype. Shrugs. 

Mudiayesque smokescreen. Just like people kept talking about how athletic Mudiay is, they say the same about Fox. Both are athletic dudes, but no where close to what people make them out to be. 

Every one of these dudes in the media that keep praising Fox, start off focusing on his personality. Why does that matter if he has so many significant flaws in his game? He fits the prototype of guards that have struggled in this league.

BBB all day

Can't wait to hear feedback from the workouts

 

[Kaleo15]

Fox is baby Westbrook for the people that don't see the upside...

D'angeruss

Goddamn he really does play like Russ.

Plus he's left handed. Left handed players are always harder to guard!

Extremely interesting blurb by Eric Pincus today about Paul George.

That's been known for a while. Why I always laughed at people who suggested Dlo would get traded for George. As if their agent is gunna allow Dlo/Randle to leave LA like that . He could easily threaten that PG won't resign if Dlo/Randle are traded.

"I think we often overlook the best way for a team like these Lakers to obtain star level players is to turn their current players into stars, rather than looking for outside help."

This front office is starting ​to win me over
