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

[ayotayo]

They left out Brad Beal

 

[tupac003]

Not making the playoffs...no way.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If we can't beat out the kings and clippers LeBron aint ****. Schedules are basically the same

 

[Lizakers]

Can someone tell me what the hell was the point in even signing Beasley

Broooo I said it back in July Beasley was pointless especially @ 3.5M

 

[geno90221]

They left out Brad Beal

Huh he’s there

 

[pmatic]

Could've given that money to Brook Lopez.

Only hope is GS rest starters against us towards the end, Portland is probably going to rest starters against us or Kings, depends on which game is later in the season. Utah is certainly going to be in playoff mode that late in the season, probably play guys first half depending on the score. On the bright side though Kings could have the Clippers schedule, then it would really be over.

 

[kobeoverbron]

Does 1 chip get Bron jersey retired?

that's a yes.

 

[three6mafia2007]

Bron got 1 elite season left. It’s over after next year

 

[geno90221]

Bron got 1 elite season left. It’s over after next year

He still gon avg 24 8 9 at age 35

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bron got 1 elite season left. It’s over after next year

I thought he had one more year like last year and then next year would be like this year. Welp

 

[drewsone]

that's still a lot of elite years tho

if bron gets 1 chip here AND gets all-time scoring here then yes i think they retire

idk if 1 of the 2 would do it

 

[sohi 23]

Purely speculation on my end but I felt like the Beasley signing was a move to get in with KD this summer since Beasley and KD are homies.

KD ain’t coming anymore so it doesn’t matter

Issa wrap after next season and he knows it.

 

[geno90221]

Issa wrap after next season and he knows it.

Issa wrap meaning what?

Bron declining is still a top 10 player

 

[MVP]

Issa wrap meaning what?

Bron declining is still a top 10 player

Issa wrap on him being top 5, hell he's probably already there. I don't think it's going to be a gradual decline. It's why he was pushing for AD right now.

 

[drewsone]

he gonna turn into a pass-first 3 pt shooter

 

[CP1708]

Walk us thru the scenario, so we can all get over it early.

Say we go "worst" case signing (true worst case is sign nobody, but this would be worst case of actually adding someone)

Jimmy Butler.

Bring back Rondo.

Ball/Rondo
Butler/Hart
Ingram/19 first round pick (top 15-16ish)
Bron/Kuzma
McGee/Wagner

2 spots left for another C and G. I don't know if KCP or Chandler etc could be one of them. (or find another 1 year type)

How would we handle that? As not sexy as that is, that's the best team we will have had in 7-8 years. 2nd roundish, with maybe a trade deadline deal that could make something happen?

 

[pmatic]

I think I would rather overpay Bullock for a year (a la KCP) than sign Butler to a multi-year contract.

 

[ayotayo]

Huh he’s there

They left out the Lakers logo on his jersey

 

[pmatic]

Perhaps don't trade the best center on the team?

 

[geno90221]

Perhaps don't trade the best center on the team?

Perhaps just resign B Lopez

Earvin is a idiot

 

[whoaitsgee]

Worse case scenario.

Butler
they trade BI and Lonzo for some lateral
crap vets
Jason Kidd replaces Luke
Locker room deteriorates
AD ain havin all that and joins the Knicks or Giannis as a FA 2020

 

[three6mafia2007]

He still gon avg 24 8 9 at age 35

In a lethargic offense run thru him where he dominates the ball and his teammates stand around clueless. That ain’t elite
