2022 NBA Offseason thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Love the talent, hate the player.

Not the first hated player to get used to as a Laker over the years though...

You might come around.

At worst, he can be to you what Zubac is to me.

Tolerable.

I fucking hated him....lol

 

[shopson67]

Yep.

*see Ilgaukus.

Its because they carry so much weight.

This is the one time that being anorexic might work in his favor.

All he had to do was turn sideways and Lebron would passed right by (and Chet would've disappeared, lol)

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah, I'm not going to write off a guy who is only 21, is athletic and hasn't really had a chance to develop because of inconsistent opportunities. But I would say that this should be his shot to see if he can stick in the league. Otherwise, look for him on your favorite Euro league team.

I'll agree....if he gets the chance and doesn't improve? Sure.

But, he didn't get a fair shot with the Lakers.....and he is just 21.

 

[DJ Fieri]

That's likely already in the works. Plus, the Lakers just opened another roster spot. Can now do a 1 + picks for 2 and still keep a spot open...

Oh, I know.....just saying.

Karl Malone was the first one that was tough to swallow for me.

^^^that part^^^...

Dude always struck me as an asshole...

If you end up trading Russ....

Get another backup PG.

* Schroeder *

Bev is 34 and misses a lot of games historically.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They need to bring back Melo. He can shoot and I like his offense off the bench.

After we deal RW.

Him only being 21 is part of why I think he has a chance. If he was 24, I'd say he's done. He needs to either be on a bad team where he can play with no pressure...or a good team where he plays mop up minutes and gets developed in practice. Because of injuries, he was forced play minutes he wasn't prepared for. Now he'll be in a no pressure situation.

Assuming we deal RW.....who do the Lakers start at PG? Bev or Nunn?

Title only since James is the de facto PG....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bev thrilled to be back in Los Angeles....

Depends on who they get for Westbrook.

Bev.

You need Nunn to excel in the Monk super sub scoring role.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Bev thrilled to be back in Los Angeles....

He's been campaigning since the Season ended.

I mean, going from Houston to LA, not even playing a game for Memphis, to cold ass Minny, to not playing a game in Utah, to the Lakers?

That's turning a frown upside down.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bev.

I'd like Melo back so he could provide scoring.....think Nunn could be a really good starter.....but they may want to ease him back as a reserve. Bev gets limited minutes though....maybe 25 or so. Bev and Nunn would be a good 1-2 punch at PG IMO.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Pippen a few years away but I like him to be an eventual rotation player.

Only if the Nunn injury is a fluke.

Bev just misses too many games.

Luckily, you have Pip Jr on a 2 way if both miss time.

You probably don't need to carry 3 other PG's with Lebron on the roster.

So, unless Nunn gets dealt, probably no Shroeder.

Melo might be the guy.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Depends on who they get for Westbrook.

I really don't want GH.....but damn if we got Rozier along with GH? For RW and the 2 1st rounders?

James, AD and Rozier is a nice trio. I like Hield but Rozier is a scorer, defender and has Bev's mindset. Might be better than getting Irving. Fucks our cap space next summer.....but Rozier might be a better player than we could get next summer.

Wouldn't might Dennis returning.....Nunn could be dangled in a trade....

Already mentioned it.....but I like what I saw from Pippen after we got him.

Things are about to get interesting.
