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

[CP1708]

Cp you alive? What do you think? Or should we wait still

Let them grow, sign PG. Keep Randle.

Year, two years down the road, see if Lonzo/Ingram grow enough, then flip what you don't need for that extra piece.

Build, don't tear it all down chasing pipe dreams. Stay patient.

 

[MVP]

them holding back julius minutes for a better contract is going overboard though

Is there any proof of them actually doing this?

 

[SORIANOTRON]

let them grow....this aint no philly trust the process ****

we need to bring on winners who breed winning and continue the lineage of this brand, no clue what the last 5-6 years been about...management been riding the ghost of kobe bryant so tuff the last few years to salvage whatever morale laker fans have and keep some goddamn excitement around Lakers basketball.....but now its running thin....the last card they got is Kobe's statue(s) unveiling

this ain't no expansion team, build your way up kind of franchise here ok....this is the ****ing lakeshow....and if these scrubs aint good enough to get it done here....they can go. Well still be here.

 

[pmatic]

Lol...terrible.

If Julius starts 9 games his hold increases

 

[Los Angeles]

These dudes couldn't win with JLO courtside?

 

[tupac003]

Its been 5 years since we made the playoffs.

5 years.

I understand the process. I understand letting them grow.

Same time this is a franchise with 16 banners.

This has to be the last year of this BS...

 

[Lizakers]

that long streak we had.....something like 28 of 30 years in the playoffs or something crazy like that.......seems like ancient history

damn ya'll 5 straight years of this crap.....

I mean how long do you expect a team to continue to engage on defense at 150% when they cant win any games.
Yeah they're professionals and yeah they're getting paid millions to play hard every night, but cmon... be real.

Im not happy about it, nor do I accept it.
But i understand it.

 

[Lizakers]

What shooters are available? I was hoping we'd give Mike James a look as a backup for Zo, he's not really a shooter though

 

[sohi 23]

blame Kobe on the team sucking and having to resort to unsuccessful tanking strategies. Seriously, it is his fault but that's what 5 rings gets you right? The opportunity and right to torpedo the franchises future.

 

[sohi 23]

Hindsight is 20/20 but they could've signed Gerald Green a week ago.

Horrible take bro.
Ill let it slide though because mine haven't been much better.

All this losing is taking its toll on us lol

Probably gonna keep it in house and bring back Jabari Brown.

Randle rumored to be discussed with Cuban and the Mavs.
They might be willing to take Deng's contract to attain him.

If Randle is going to be let go in the off-season anyways (which I dont agree with), but if he is...then id rather do this deal and get Deng of our hands.
Worth a flyer on Noel, no?

Again...I am not comparing Randle to Noel. Randle has been one of our, if not thee best player this season. He has great potential offensively and defensively and he's a much better player. I am just saying, if were going to lose him anyways...better to get this package than nothing, right?...

If there is one thing Jabari Brown is here for, it is shooting.

 

[Lizakers]

If we have to trade Julius and Dlo to rid ourselves of the Deng and Moz contracts, then so be it......thank you Mitch and Jim........but it is what it is

 

[geno90221]

Trade Lopez

 

[Los Angeles]

I agree with this, gotta move Deng's contract.

Gotta find takers for KCP and Brook while we're at it.

 

[delete1234]
