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

[CP1708]

Bruh... we are ELEVEN YEARS AWAY from your first doom & gloom prediction.
Saying it's 'getting old' is inaccurate; it's old. Presently. Currently.
We're definitely winning for the next TWENTY ONE years.
JFC
We're not the Cubs, bruh.

???????

Next year is 15 fam.

11 years from my 3rd example.

I thought you were talking about 15 years from last championship.
I didn't read your entire response. I usually don't read the entirety of your doom & gloom BS.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[CP1708]

Facts = doom and gloom. Shrugs.

Worst stretch in Laker history, inarguable fact, is ME being doom and gloom? Or me telling the truth out loud?

I could try bein like you guys "golly gee shucks I hope we sign LeBron to his super max contract forever, we can't ever lose him" but there's enough of that already.

 

[tupac003]

Worst stretch in Lakers history but the NBA has stayed the same so there is no reason why the Lakers shouldn't always dominate.....

Zero context at all just worst strech.....

Never seen anyone argue in the most obtuse way besides you. And it's been going on for years....

But everything CP says has to be facts....

Man please just go root for someone else.

 

[CP1708]

Naw I'm good. I'm gonna fan how I fan same as you're free to fan how you fan. Being a blind homer isn't for everybody. Some things I look the other way for, for a purpose (tanking), other things are not ok in my opinion. (Maxing out 40 year olds) And I speak to those. Just because I don't blindly follow all of you guys with your hopes and dreams doesn't mean I'm rooting wrong.

Projections aren't facts but go off.

"I'm right you're all wrong!"
You and that other guy stay on that time.

1 of 14 isn't projections bro. That's literal season by season easily googled for reference.

2011 thru 2024 season by season records.

I'm not making those years up, I'm not erasing anything, I'm pointing to them. Those aren't projections.

Me suggesting it could get to 1 of 15, or 1 of 20 etc, those are projections.

1 of 14 is factual. And historical.

 

[tupac003]

It's my own fault for engaging.

Won't do that again.

"I'm right you're all wrong!"

You see me telling Tupac he's wrong? Cuz I'm not. I said directly to him, he can fan how he fans. I'm not going the same route.

All of you can fan how y'all wanna fan. I'm not going the same route. I'm not going to cheer all homerish for JJ getting hired. Or Celebrate Chris Paul joining in 2024. Chris Paul in 2012? I woulda been jumping for joy. 2024? No thanks.

Bron in 2018? Joyous.
Bron Max deal in 2024?

I'm not just gonna celebrate every move Kobe's agent makes, I'm gon call that **** out. When he does well, then I'll call that out too.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Chris Paul and JJ tho. Bruh what are the Lakers really trying to do to me

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Imagine a starting lineup of
CP3
AR
Bron
Vando
AD

 

[darthska]

You see me telling Tupac he's wrong?

Explicitly? Just him?
No.
"You blind homers all hope-y and dreamy..." = mockery = "You're wrong."
Can we pretend subtle jabs count or nah?
Nah?
Cool.
Go off.

That's not me saying you're all wrong, that's me saying I'm not following the same path. I'm not blessing Jeanie or Kobe's agent blindly. There's more than enough of that in here, I'll go a diff route. No harm, no foul.

 

[essential1]

DeAndre as the backup Center. And it will Clip hearts and minds.

(I want none of these three things. But I’m willing to be wrong about JJ).

 

[moonman818]

CP0 can't be any worse than that random light skin PG we had last season

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Dang yall took his 3 away, now he sounds like he's named after a Star Wars protocol droid.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Think D'lo is a lock for Orlando. There's a chance he could get traded for Wendell Carter and free the Magic to pursue someone like Claxton. Which would take the Nets out of the Mitchell race

 

[SORIANOTRON]

CP0 can't be any worse than that random light skin PG we had last season

Yes he can.

 

[pmatic]

CP is still a fine player for 15-20 MPG, but there are obvious shortcomings (defense, won't shoot threes, can't get into paint).

But if you told me he was better than Vincent next season, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Lizakers]

Why won’t he shoot threes? He used to

 

[pmatic]

Why won’t he shoot threes? He used to

I think it's just a mental hurdle that he's much more comfortable in the mid-range.

 

[pdino]

Cp3 injured EVERY year now. I can get on board with 15-20 minutes backup role for vet minimum, but that's about it. He's 100% assist-hunting and not looking to do anything offensively. He needs to be wide open to take a shot nowadays.

Not really sure how Gabe Vincent fits in. He's a smaller combo guard, streaky shooter

 

[MVP]

They need to turn Gabe into something else, he isn't really needed for what his skillset is. He's a poor mans Caruso.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Gabe helped slow down Brunswick and Trae in the playoffs. Cp aint doing that . He serves a purpose if he can get healthy.
