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

[tay1]

People say Bron is a diva.

Kuminga not really that guy and he’s doing all this

 

[MVP]

He should fire his agent and take the damn deal

 

[grittyman]

Kuminga talk

 

[g-time]

Kuminga talk

 

[king j]

I’m starting to understand the Warriors side in this now

 

[tay1]

Kuminga talk

Can I interest you in some more Kuminga information?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Does Pelinka want to bring on a player who’s not happy with his salary and expect that player to be a model citizen in the locker room?

If Pelinka really wants Kuminga, I can see him caving and adding Knecht to the package so he can pay Kuminga the $20 mil that he wants.

 

[lovehateself]

20 mil for Kumingo ???


Nah

 

[MVP]

20 mil for Kumingo ???


Nah

Midas whale go all in for PJ at that point

 

[tay1]

Tucker right? The shoe guy?

 

[CP1708]

Tucker right? The shoe guy?

 

[Berzerker]

He should fire his agent and take the damn deal

Who is Keith Smith? Serious question. Is he legit or a hack?

 

[Berzerker]

20 mil for Kumingo ???


Nah

Worth taking a gamble on ONLY if the last year is a TEAM OPTION. However knowing Pelinka, this is a long shot.

 

[pmatic]

He's legit. He does a bunch of salary cap work.

 

[tay1]

My barber just legit texted me we signed Kuminga

PJ Washington would be so much better for this team than Kuminga

Rob father just seems to be in love with JK’s ceiling. But if he has a great year and we can’t afford to retain him, what’s the point?

We will have gotten good production for a discount

 

[Berzerker]

Nothing like getting in the playoffs and getting tossed right out because your 40+ third best player is taking $52 mil off the salary cap. The SAME player who decided to sign elsewhere for $4 per this season.

Lakers impressive playoff record the past 5 seasons:

2-4 (lost 1st rd)
8-8 (lost conf finals)
1-4 (lost 1st rd)
1-4 (lost 1st rd)
4-6 (lost 2nd rd)

Isn’t that still better than being the worst team in the league year after year?

Regardless of outcome you have a chance to compete just by making the playoffs.

I see YOU aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed
