Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

There are also rumblings that a luring and signing of Klay Thompson this summer is also gaining traction. The Leonard talk is dying because Toronto isn't letting Leonard go anywhere anytime soon.

In 16 games without James:

Ingram is averaging 18.2ppg, 6.1rpg, and 4apg.

But he's inconsistent.

We're gonna get raped badly.

We're gonna get raped badly.

In the beginning stages.

Thursday is a must win IMO. 2 games behind the Clipps.....can't afford to fall 3 games back.

 

[Retroram52]

And we got exactly that DJ. Philly came in and we lose badly. Meanwhile the AD talk continues. We could wait on this deal and sign AD as a FA this summer despite where he goes because he has already indicated he is only going to sign a one-year deal unless the RIGHT team signs him. We could then keep our young core and bring in Klay Thompson with two FA signings.

New Orleans are being bitches and have no intrest in trading Daviis to the Lakers. Hearing that punk Popabitch was in their ear. F them, keep our young guys and continue to build. When these guys get better and teams will look like fools for not making trades. Lakers are not disparate to trade for Davis like ESPN and others want you to believe. No need to kiss any team's ass. Get a Terrance Ross type shooter, and get a free agent in off season. Sign Davis after 20 season and keep it moving.

Carmelo and other buyout candidates will be headed to the Lakers soon.

A trade is pending IMO.....they removed him from the Pels intro video......they wouldn't do that if there were a chance he'd be there until the summer......something will happen before the deadline. He won't play another game there.

He's not a FA this summer.

If it happens I would gladly eat my words with salt. LOL

Sorry Retro - "the Brow" does not become a UFA until summer of 2020 (assuming he declines the 5th year player option of his current contract)

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I get it Snowdog that he has a year and a half remaining on his present contract.

 

[DJ]

James is playing tonight.....

 

[DJ]

Regarding the Lakers.....read something that the Lakers are going after AD hard now but they won't be competing with Boston this summer......and it makes sense. Boston can offer more.

The Lakers will move on to other FAs this summer.....and there's a lot of them. And the way Cousins is playing I'd take him and Irving if he's serious about reunited with James. We'd have to trade Ball and Ingram somewhere to afford them.

Or DC and get Beal in a trade or Redick or Middleton as FA's.

Or Irving and trade for Beal.

I want ross now.

 

[DJ]

I want ross now.

He's not a difference maker.....is he being shopped?

 

[DJ]

If Walton gets fired......D-Fish could be a possible replacement. He's chilling in the TWC studio as a pre-game analyst. Magic could give him a jingle.

 

[DJ]

I'm going to watch as much as I can.
