**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2026-2027 offseason begins

There’s no escaping the stigma, so I might as well embrace it. I am Timid.

If I'm Rob, I'm starting the rumor mill that Bronny is "highly valued asset for the future core of the team, cornerstone to be built around."

Jaylon Tyson and unprotected 3 FRPs, best we can do Cavs. Let us know if Bron wants to play with his son, thx
“Just look at how former South Bay Lakers players have flourished in the league after working with our elite development team “
 
Lebron and Lakers mutually moved on (with lakers having a more prominent role in the moving on process since they have Luka).

Still As CP said, it’s a fair question to ask: why not resign in LA?

I think that decision either woulda been harder and or it woulda made his decision look sillier if they were able to get Kessler without giving up so much, dumping all the dead salary using those picks, signing Peyton Watson and one-two of grimes/mamu/sexton/smart - then he woulda looked dumb as hell signing with the Warriors

Kessler
Lebron
Watson
Reaves
Luka
Grimes
Smart
 
1. He felt “disrespected”

2. He didn’t see an opportunity to win

3. He wanted more money

It can be a number of reasons why. It just doesn’t matter anymore.
Bro seriously WHAT ARE PEOPLE NOT GETTING ABOUT ALL THAT?
Especially those last 5 words.
Like... water we dewing? 🤣
 
it would be salt in the wound if LeBron takes the minimum elsewhere. Let’s be real, even if he was happy here and wanted to come back, he would never take the minimum for us. It’s just really rich that he wants to do it now. Maybe I’m just salty lol

LeBron is in the rear view mirror now. Who cares who he signs with and for how much. Thank you for your services and for the Temu championship in 2020 and happy trails!
 
Don’t know where we have left, but throw what’s left of the bag at Peyton Watson. Legit POA defender is exactly what’s needed

Only way you get Peyton Watson is to dump Vando, Hardy, Laravia, Knecht with all our picks to a cap team and offer that 28 mill to Watson. But has to be done by Monday morning.
 
Defense was not the problem for the Mavs that Finals. It was the offense.
 
Yes and yes.

There were some awful individual defensive performances from Luka… two things I remember mostly from that series was Windy calling him out and they kept mentioning his “blow by rate” (or whatever they called that stat…lol has that even been used since that series?). Boston did attack him repeatedly on that end… was it bad ALL series long? Not sure maybe he got better the more it became a talking point.

Offense was the main issue… Kyrie had a bad series, don’t recall Luka being all that great either. Pretty sure that Boston team was full of great individual defenders, I would imagine if you go back and watch there was no pick and roll matchups to exploit and even if Luka scored he had to work hard for the buckets he did get.

False
You get Denver to sign and trade with us
After convincing them they will be the ones to save money by stretching vando, and then trading Hardy’s Deal for more 2nds all the while taking on a THJr replacement type shooter in Knecht

If only Rob was creative enough

This is exactly what I mean. It will take a couple years for Adou to learn the intricacies of the game and when he does, he can be the Lakers version of OG
