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

[pmatic]

No, I do. Just not sure he'll be in LA in the long view.

 

[jiffyl00b]

What are the options? If they let him walk they're the worst team in the league.

Catch 22.
If he dips, they'll be undoubtedly bad, but hey, lottery team
If he's stays. They'll just be the same team for years to come, won't be any flexibility if he signs back up with them, with the money he's owed, no chance in signing another top or even mid tier talent. I remember Windhorst pointing that out a coupe months back.

if they pay him are they even a guaranteed playoff team? New lottery rules make sure the hornets are screwed either way

 

[DLF]

Highly unlikely that he leaves 80 on the table.

After hearing him talk about MJ on Darius and Q's podcast, I just don't seem him leaving charlotte. He said something to the effect of just talking to Mike about regular stuff on a daily basis was the coolest thing ever and beyond his wildest dreams. Add in the fact that Mike can throw the biggest bag at him? Please.

I'd rather have Kawhi, Beal, AD even Jimmy.

Kemba's game is gonna age like Deron Williams' game---poorly.

The fact that Zo filéts Kemba and puts him on the highlight reel every time they play also makes me want to pass on Kemba.

Zo is gonna pan out y'all!

Or...Charlotte will be cheap and say “screw they we ain’t paying that much for kemba”

MJ will overpay before voluntarily sucking again.

I’d bet the house on that.

But they suck with kemba. U think he wants to suck AND pay tons of money at the same time

MJ don't even tip . I wouldn't count on him cashing out anybody

Those owners meetings are pissing contests.

Most competitive dude ever isn’t gonna lay down for the tank.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

MJ probably don't get great players cuz he still think he better than everybody.

"You supposed to be top 5? I'll bust yo *** right now in my extra big jeans"

I'm pretty sure I read he plays and beats players on the team 1 on 1 after practices, you know he's running his mouth

0% chance this man is still busting anybody ***

exactly. they couldn;t build a winner around kemba when he was just making $12 mil, how they gonna build a better around him now when he taking $40 mil of that cap space.

 

[drewsone]

how do you feel about this?

 

[trynafeelmink]

If Kyrie comes Ingram is probably best to be traded. I want him here but him with a ball dominant Kyrie & Lebron will not be good for his development. Although adding some more shooting to Bron/Kyrie would make him UNSTOPPABLE getting to the basket

 

[geno90221]

yeah and who gonna be the son?
kyrie?

Nobody is touching Ingram right now too risky... Lonzo would be gone if Kyrie comes

 

[sohi 23]

Lonzo & Kyrie would be a great backcourt combo.

Kyrie is a 2 anyway.

 

[trynafeelmink]

I could see teams being weary about Ingram, but Lonzo is a much better fit next to Kyrie & Bron than Ingram imo

 

[MVP]

how do you feel about this?

If Bron can deliver this I'll never slander him again. Myrie is mini Mamba and my 2nd favorite player behind Russ, I'd cry real thug tears if he put on the purple and gold.

 

[DLF]

Lol at y’all

Kyrie went to dinner to discuss movies and their respective movie companies

We ain’t getting kyrie.

We will probably get someone but it would be in the line of shooting role players. And we will sell everyone for Ad

That’s not bad. Bron and AD with shooters. Better then this year

 

[fayetnam]

I don’t think anybody is scared of Brandon injury.. If anything they playin scared to drive the price down. What he has was caused by a structural issue and won’t happen again

 

[drewsone]

ain't gonna front he looks good in the colors lol
would be explosive if he came to LA and they ran it byke

 

[pmatic]

The small chance of player X signing with the Lakers in July is why they'll hold off on draft night trading for a star.
