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

[MIKE LOWERY]

FOH. Bron and AD wanted Westbrook. They both buddies with Russ. They both were holding the meetings at Bron crib. They both talked about sacrificing with Russ at Bron crib after Dame and DDR didn't work. And Jeanie made sure to get her media tour going after that terrible season last summer and say it was her call and she had the final say. Reports even say she was the one to turn down the UTA and IND offers for Russ and the picks. She had taking a liking to him.

They all wanted him, especially after talks with DDR fell apart.


Except Pelinka, who wanted Hield, who was a Kobe guy and former client of his. He got overruled out the gate.



Time to watch CLT and what could be. Sigh

yall going hard on westbrook but we still beat the bucks with him.

and we were 2 ad free throws away from beating philly and the celtics.

this team can win with westbrook on it

but ofcourse only if ad plays

which IS the reason we are struggling this year

he just needs to play ball with them leg braces forrest gump had on.

 

[grittyman]

23 games left until the trade deadline…

 

[Lizakers]

On pace for 32 wins
Even if we out-perform that by 5 wins (long shot), we still only get to 37 wins

Season is DONE DONE

 

[pmatic]

The Warriors had consecutive injury riddled years, but came out of it with Wiggins and Poole in route to a title.

After the last two seasons, the Lakers may have Reaves and ???

 

[grittyman]

Scottie Pippen Jr and Jay Huff

 

[DLF]

Thank god we gave Pelinka the extension. Can you imagine the rumors about Bob Myers being hired away given that Lacob hasn’t offered him an extension yet.

In Rob we trust.

I trust him. If he says it’s a point guards league. Then dammit it’s a point guards league

[Lizakers]

Can’t forget Swider the summer league legend

 

[darthska]

Why do you believe the bolded is true when everybody and their mama reported otherwise?

Reported or speculated?

And it's just funny seeing your stance on LBJ juxtaposed to an actual Laker legend you blamed for everything.

"blamed", past tense. Exactly. And eventually came around to realizing how misguided that was. Make sure you tell all of it, not just the part that fits your narrative juxtaposition.

Bron's hands been all over this team since the day he signed in 2018.

... and Giannis' hands been all over the Bucks since the day he signed. His brother is trash, and on the team. You think that they didn't at least consult with Kobe before trading for Pau, drafting Bynum? Of course Lebron's hands have been all over this franchise since the day he signed; that's part of being a franchise player. But for those of you that hate him because of your unconditional loyalty to someone else, his hands being all over the franchise is a bad thing even though it wasn't a bad thing for your guy.

 

[darthska]

Leave Linda and Jeanie out of this.

It’s hard for women to succeed but you wanna bring them down. SMH. Pig

No. Just criticize then for their job, not their sex lives or any other weird stuff people do with women in charge.

Really not that difficult. Look, I can't stand her... because of her job, which is to run my favorite team. She's bad at it. Who she's banging or making out with literally has nothing to do with that.

Again, not that difficult.

Not quite Laker related but funny:

 

[kingjaffejo]

Feel sad for y'all man … dudes in here writing books and soliloquies on a poorly run franchise since the death of its patriarch.
I’m loyal to the purple & gold but not to these unintelligent, uninspired souls running it.
Everyone needs to emotionally pull back and just have fun with it for the rest of the season

 

[DLF]

Qft.

Still living and dying by every shot for a team ran by dimwits. Did you guys not see the documentary? The team is run by toothless hillbillies. Losers that never accomplished anything outside of being born to a rich guy


Long term, that 2020 title might be the worst thing to happen to lakers. We have 1 out of 10 years where we weren’t a dumpster fire. Delays the inevitable purge that needs to happen. Prob end up being 1 in 25 years soon.

[lovehateself]

didnt he trip over the halfcourt line in that game too

 

[DLF]

Trade everyone. Extend Russ

 

[Lizakers]

Jeanie still doesn’t understand how we suck with all these big names. Can’t wait to max Draymond and Klay at age 37

 

[atlsfinest]

Start Magic, Bench Kobe, Cut shaq

 

[darthska]

Start Magic, Bench Kobe, Cut shaq

No.

 

[grittyman]

Start Shaq. Bench Magic. Cut Kobe.

Bring on the slander

 

[geno90221]

Start Kobe
Bench Diesel

Cut Magic
I don’t want his son anywhere near the team
