2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Goddamn….lol

Durant > Brown

But, I would not fuck with that chemistry.

Plus, age, injury history, cost to get him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Monte Morris too.

He in yr sights?

 

[shopson67]

Fortunately, you are now the LA team with the incompetent management.

We shit the bed on Wall.

But, we didn’t trade away out depth nor pay him 47 million to be ass.

6.5 this year and a team option next.

Hurts.

But, isn’t unbearable.

We all know that all the Clippers do is pick up the guys the Lakers don't close deals for (CP3, Kawhi, George, Lue). Even Wall was a projected trade for Russ last season. I half expected the Clips to get Kyrie. Little brother syndrome.

Russ isn't ass this year, he's just not worth that salary. He'll be in the league next year, can't say the same necessarily for Wall.

Mecca not biting....LOL

*Sees Big Red lurking*

[shopson67]

To buy him out as you suggested.

That is eating salary.

Id make him sit his ass on the bench and waive a rally towel.

You're still paying that same money. Could potentially save some by buying him out.

Who knows what Washington wants to do?

They want to keep Beal and Kuz.

Gonna have to pay or trade Zingers and overpay to keep Kuz.

Currently 10th in the East.

Id love to have him and he fits our trade exception.

But, I haven’t seen anything that says he is available.

Id like him and Daniel Gifford.

Melo will be injured again any game now.

Just let the wild ass Westbrook show roll.

Honestly, he had his shot to see the vision in 2016

I’m ok missing out now

Him and al coming the same offseason would’ve been monstrous

Either wash or Portland needs to trade their star guard to the other

This half ass shit is ridiculous and a waste of time for both

Short rope though, don't want to accidentally win a few.

Took me a minute to figure out who you meant by Melo. I have emotional ties to the other (Orange and Laker), lol.

Holy shit. I take one weekend off with the fam and Kyrie gets traded to the Mavs.

From what I understand, that was definitely the best offer on the table for Kyrie.

Rumors have it the Lakers offered both their first round picks, Westbrook and either Austin Reeves or Max Christie.

Nets wanted Reeves AND Christe.

Am I mad? Heck no. Kyrie would have been amazing but by getting rid of ALL your youth talent AND the draft picks, you pretty much lose all hope for a rebuild.

Good for Kyrie, good for the Mavs.

Now Pelinka better get his ass in gear and get something else done.

Also, that loss to New Orleans was fucking pathetic.

Nets wanted pick swaps on top of all that. They weren't going to send Kyrie to the Lakers unless it was a drastic overpay.

Wait….

Westbrook is unplayable in the 4th.

He will be unplayable in the playoffs.

He is not good anymore, despite his padded stats.

You are confusing not as terrible as last year and functional with being a decent player.

Also…. Lamar Odom, Deandre Jordan, Pat Beverly, Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, Nick Young, Kaman, Ron Harper…

Fuq outta here…lol

Both teams have a incestuous relationship with the others former players.

I don’t know why some Lakers fans think every good player available is destined to be a future Laker.

That’s your trash managements fault that they assumed they didn’t need to trade assets and that guys will just wait until the offseason to fall into your open arms.

Those days are long gone, Fam…..lmfao

The need for backcourt upgrades was fully evident in that game. Can't let a backup PG like Alvarado ring you up like that. Seems the Lakers players' minds weren't completely in the game, but I can see that I guess with the Kyrie news in full bloom at the time. They really could've used Kyrie, if only to close out games. They lose games late far too often.

Russ really us unplayable in the 4th.

Thats why I really want him out, even if it costs the team a pick or two

I still think you can get a decent haul with his salary slot..….

…...as long as you give up the picks.

Oh god yes. That second half was hard to watch

At this point the front office HAS to do something.

Not doing a damn thing in the next four days is going to piss Lebron off as much as the fans.

Yup.

Alvarado 18.

Bev 7.

Dennis 7.

That shit cannot happen.

Also, please stop having Pat guard 6’7 - 6’9 wings.

It can’t work for a full game.

Plus,those 3 and 4 guard lineups?

Starting to side eye Ham.
