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

[moonman818]

If he's going to be here this year he better be shooting 1000 threes plus every day. He needs to be near 40% this season.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Russell supposedly 'lost his job' last season but his usage was basically the same and his assists went up. Zo will lead the break when he has the opportunity but dlo has a year under his belt with Luke's offense and zo has never ran much pnr for his career. Dlo has the keys until further notice

 

[MVP]

What's so funny he's basically Russell Westbrook shooting 3s now without any of the other scoring prowess.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If he had 50% usage he might have more scoring prowess too. Both zo and lo are basically​ shooting guards with good vision who need to improve their PG skills. Difference is dlo is 2 years in of working on those skills. Zo hardly ran pnr action and when he did it was below average

 

[MVP]

at Zo being a 2 guard

 

[purpnyellow]

From that highlight vid it looks like Zo can attack the paint unlike Dlo

This thread going to be lit next year. I already see the lines that are drawn.

I hope we draft Josh Jackson still.
I have taken into account everyones notes about his flaws (mostly shooting) but that can be improved.

IMHO, he has every other skill right off the bat to be an impact player and athlete for our team on both ends of the floor.

I know the ESPN or NT experts might not agree, but thats just how I feel.

Josh Jackson is the 2nd best player in this draft....and for a long time was considered the #1 prospect and could still be that in time.

Lakers and Lonzo was a match made in heaven though....and y'all can't deny fate

 

[MVP]

Josh Jackson isn't even better than Ingram though.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

I don't like Jackson at all. Nothing tells me he's any better than BI going forward and he's a natural 3 IMO which I'd rather have Ingram there

Big fan of Fox, I think he's got 2-3 best potential in the draft... But if Lonzo ISN'T the pick Should/could we trade down to #3 or #4 or #5 and pick up a 2018 pick and BPA

My Laker Big Board:

Fultz
2a.Ball
2b.Fox
3 Jackson (i guess)
4. Monk
5. Isaac

 

[MVP]

Yea if we got 3 I would have gone with Fox.

 

[geno90221]

Trade #2 for #3 and Ok?

 

[noblekane]

they really gonna give the keys to a rookie?

 

[noblekane]

Trade #2 for #3 and Ok?

trade druss and 28 for 3?

 

[geno90221]

trade druss and 28 for 3?

Do it Rob!

 

[MVP]

They tried to do it with D'Lo he wasn't ready. Zo seems to have the mental fortitude and maturity to handle it. Plus he's tailor made for Puke's system.

 

[Mr Dink]

Malik Monk >

 

[ValarMorghulis]

D'lo -> Monk backcourt works too

Trade down only if we get back a 2018.

I mean PHX ain't far away from SoCal... Lavar can make it happen there too

 

[MVP]

FOH with Monk

 

[licensed to ball]

Jackson gonna turn into the next Kawai and all we'll have to celebrate is the ZO8's in a few years.

Hooray.

 

[Mr Dink]

I'd take Fox over Ball, too.

 

[Mr Dink]

Assuming D'Lo moves to 2......

Fox -> D'Lo.

 

[MVP]

Next Kawhi huh?

 

[dceja]

You guys act like all these young guys are gonna end up being studs...not how it works
