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

[ton3rl]

When did I say this was anything more than what I believe makes most sense for LeBron? I never said take this “rumor” to the bank.

If LeBron leaves Cleveland, I don’t believe it will be to play with “Playoff P” in LA. But I do believe Lakers are still an option for him.

If LeBron agrees to move west, it’s not to play with Ball, Kuzma, or Ingram. All of those will be shopped (along with Deng and picks) IF LeBron wants to go to LA.

Or LeBron could goto Houston, have CP re-up there

Just stay away from the Lakers.

Wtf is dude doin at grubway
And why we stay draftin dudes with the woat knees

 

[MVP]

Looks like Boogie is back in play

 

[Lizakers]

We need a half court beast like Boogie for when the game slows down in the playoffs.....and to battle Embiid in next year’s finals. I’m in for Boogie

 

[dceja]

Just really concerned about his injury...1 year plus team option would be ideal

 

[DLF]

Damn had pants. You old

 

[thasoleful1]

Boogie adding “a team that is ready to contend” puts us right in that FA convo. Gonna get really interesting come July.

He might sit the entire 18-19 season
Not paying Boogie $30M just to rehab

 

[oh you mad]

 

[MVP]

He says he's targeting training camp to be back. Ambitious but I'd take the gamble for next season barring something really happening with Kawhi. At worst he'll be a better version of Brook as he rounds back into shape. Him + PG would be a A by Maginka.

DeMarcus Cousins: ‘I’m shooting to be ready for training camp’

He's probably not being entirely truthful and trying not to scare of teams but still

Tears will be shed for JuJu

If Boogie wants to come they have to move Deng and bring Juju back at a reasonable price. Our 1st rder next year and Zu should do it.

All the Zo jerseys on NDC are on sale

[moonman818]

Is this the most important offseason for the Lakers ever?

Probably 1996. Signed a prime Shaq (one of the biggest free agent signings ever) and traded for Kobe on draft night.

We literally paid Deng $18m to play one game this season. If we strike out on PG, I can see us getting Cousins a 1+1(team option) deal

That was the old management signing tho
we can’t count that against Magic and Rob

 

[619destroyer858]

Boogie and Lebron maybe?

 

[geno90221]

Is Boogie even off Crutches yet?
We just cannot sign him too big of a risk
