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

[drewsone]

well another reason he hasn't been able to drive to the paint so easy besides the injury is that the team has poor spacing

need to start making shots to help open up some space

I don't buy it. Sure could the spacing be better, the only thing that can stop Lebron from driving is Lebron and it's magnified late in games cause of his lack of confidence at the free throw line. Either the defense is going to collapse and he kicks it out or he gets a foul or hoop. Even before the injury he was settling a lot or just downright being passive at inopportune times.

i can agree with this at times.
he def likes to shoot a step back 3 more than going to the rack for sure.
he sucks at the line and im sure that's a reason he doesn't mindlessly attack late game cuz he's def going to miss 1 or both

but i still would like to think the subpar shooting is a reason defenses are able to stop him from driving. but he also does look really slow sometimes too. dude is weird cuz there'll be a play when he looks washed and non-explosive driving then there'll be a play soon after that where he just flashes to the hoop easily lmao

Magic goofed...we should have kept Lopez....

 

[Lizakers]

It takes time to get your rhythm and timing back after a long absence. Don’t expect Zo to come back and be where he left off either

[kobeoverbron]

[MVP]

Brook + Randle

Not sign Lebron

 

[Lizakers]

Mamba MVP turning on 24K?

 

[drewsone]

think Randle was gone regardless.
Brook def could have gotten signed but idk lol.

Lakers still aint fill that roster spot so idk what they're doing on that end either

 

[Lizakers]

Just call up MbongaGAWD

 

[MVP]

Mamba MVP turning on 24K?

I'm beginning to yes. He letting Klutch run the team and that ain't it. We need Riles byke.

 

[drewsone]

haha even West would be better rn

Riles was the only guy to keep Bron in check tho true fax

[whoaitsgee]

Lebron gets what he wants. The rest of the league (Boston, specifically) can put all their chips on the table. AD is Laker bound.

 

[Lizakers]

With Rondo being the only PG on the team, kinda wish we signed a PG to a 10-day or have “young Ernie Johnson” Caruso some run

 

[MVP]

Less than zero ****s given

 

[drewsone]

that juts re-affirms AD relationship with RP/Bron/Klutch lol

seen some folk in the other thread saying RP and AD relationship is tarnished or w/e

 

[D_eezus]

Bron just need to put up the Zer

Don Bron


He gives NO ****S
