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

[grittyman]

I got a spot on my men’s rec league team if no one else wants you DLo…

I've been wanting Olynyk the last couple years. He should be second priority after Kessler if I'm Pelinka.

If nobody wants to take DLo off our hands, Rui is probably the one who has to go.

Raptors have like four proven NBA players right now, so hopefully tonight is a blowout in the Lakers' favor.

Guards who were on the roster in 2022-23:

DLo
Dennis
Westbrook
Nunn
Pippen Jr

Austin
Beasley
Walker
Christie

Now who knows the details of the type of relationship that Pippen had with any of the coaches but if I had to guess no one really paid him any mind because honestly there wasn’t any reason to even care he was there. Good for him for finding his way in the league but it wasn’t going to happen in LA.

Coach was Ham during the time. Ham is now assistant coach for Milwaukee. Pippen Jr. put Dame in prison and is showing he can be a rotation player

You might need to go back and reread what I posted. Lmao I’m just going to ignore those first two sentences since even Stevie Wonder could see what/who Pippen was talking about…

Do you think that in 2022-23 that he was even going to get an opportunity to show that he could play in the league?

If you were coaching the Lakers that season how much would you care about an undrafted, two-way player signed who was a 6’1 guard shooting 30% from the field and 50% from the ft line?

Maybe you think my comment was a defense of Ham… then you would be [Charle Murphy voice] WRONG. No, I just think that from the outside looking in what Pippen said sounded silly. Good for him that he was able to find his way in the league. But the only way Pippen was able to get this opportunity was by going to a bad team (Memphis was awful that season) and being able to play. That was NEVER going to happen in LA.

Was pointing out the relationship Pippen had with the coaches. Not looking to argue about Hams lineup decisions from 2 years ago

Then I wouldn't have got Russ

So you didn’t understand my post.

Yes, we all know who Pippen played for..

No, we don’t know what type of relationship they had. Maybe Pippen was belittled in practice, and made an example of, etc… or maybe he never really paid him any attention because of the circumstances.

None of this we will never know unless he chooses to give us some details. That what I mean by not knowing the DETAILS of their relationship.

Lol if there is one thing we know, Lakers always play down....

Hopefully they don't tonight.

“One of the coaches over there didn’t believe in me so I definitely wanted to show I can play some defense.” This was one of the details shared of their relationship from Scotty Pippen Jr.

If that's even REMOTELY true, that's unacceptable.

I know people get horny for drama… but does that sound remotely DETAILED to you?

Cmon man.
