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

[freeze]

 

[Lizakers]

He also made 11 of 41 shots in those 3 games

Didn’t they say he can get zero turnovers the rest of the season and he’ll still lead the universe in turnovers? That’s how bad it is

 

[htg designs]

Russ is *** and needs to go...

But a theory I have, which maybe unpopular and controversial, is a team takes after the habits of his leader. Unfortunately at 99, Lebron is still the best player on his team an leader. His effortless defense for most the game, and pacing himself has the team lethargic. Now he can turn it on and drop buckets assists whenever, which he has been. But his teammates cant replicate that production.

AD should have been the best player and setting the tone for the team at this point. But we know how that went.

The Lakers' other main problem besides Russ' inadequate basketball skills: no center.

Small ball will NEVER work

 

[noblekane]

bad coaching is the biggest problem.

 

[DLF]

All jokes and memes aside, I still effs with Russ. I think we have 2 more glaring, critical issues more important than any issue that could point back to Russ.

True

1) death
2) taxes

 

[DLF]

Lol he’s also a -40 last 3 games. Usage rate gone down last three games. Shooting 25 percent from the field last three games. Assists down last three games.

So yes. He can get 0 turnovers….by just not touching the ball.

Wanna know who else has 0 turnovers for the lakers last three games? Me. Sitting on my couch, eating snacks, farting and drinking pop

Perimeter defense isn’t good either

Vogel struggling with a roster they can’t defend, in a system that requires defenders.

He’s def not having his best year but dammit we got DJ monk melo Ellington Russ on the team as rotational pieces lol. We picked up a player out of the league a day before season start and another halfway through the season and both START for us bc of how bad rest of the roster is lol.

 

[pdino]

need to acquire some guys who looking to play defense and not looking to shoot. Some buyout guys who could help off the bargain bin:
Thad Young- past his prime, but a + defender, can play SF/PF (much needed)
Torrey craig- He just looking to defend and rebound, good fit with all the guards
Favors- serviceable backup big who offers some rim protection.

Dwight need to play more, and need to open up shop to trade away Russ. DJ should needs to be traded

It's not surprising we don't have much to work with as far as trades go.

 

[brownmamba]

Blame the entire team for their failure NOT just one player

we'll see how the second half of the season turn out

 

[brownmamba]

another L tonight

 

[darthska]

Hell, what are our proud wins this season? :/

-foe

 

[tay1]

If we could get ANYTHING out of DJ and Bazemore, that'll be great.

Wish we could get a player like Robert Covington, He would help a lot on this team. Myles Turner would be perfect.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

What a nightmare season.

Putting 140 on the Blazers or whatever it was works for me. But I'm biased on that one, I know it was meaningless overall.

 

[DLF]

Sooooo….people around the league have eyes and are not stupid? ConfirMed.

 

[had pants]

 

[Lizakers]

Washington can make no trades for 5 years and they’ll still be riding the high of finding a team dumb enough to take Russ and give a draft pick on top of it all. Unbelievable

It’s like your girl getting pregnant by another man and tricking you into raising the baby. We got played

 

[brownmamba]

Magic was right "Jeanie DESERVED better"

FIRING Vogel doesnt solved all the Lakers missing pieces this season

practice practice and more practice,,Lebron needs to step up his leadership
