2023 offseason thread

Lakers have officially won free agency. No balloon payments to worry about in years 3 and 4.

 

[trojanfight]

Pacers pick was not part of the Beal trade.

WE DESTROYED THE FA PERIOD!!!!!!


LET US START THE DAMN SEASON NOW!!!!!!

Do you like the moves the Cavs have made?

Yes so far. Still need a center

The Pacers trade was a secondary deal that used two 2nds from the Beal trade, so it was rolled into one big trade as the Beal trade wasn't finalized. It also cost the Wiz their own first (a trade up using the 2nds).

Bamba still out there i think.

Yes so far. Still need a center

Allen + some picks for Embiid sounds legit to me.

You have anyone in mind they could go after?

Plumlee or Landale

He was talking about a backup big,

Besides Embiid will be in OKC in a year or 2.....

Trojanfight is an embarrassment to Laker Nation and a casual fan.

NBA.com lists it as one trade anyway my point is for the talent Dame is I would expect Miami to have to give up multiple first round picks 4 or more. What the Lakers had to give up get AD is comparable.

You still casually falling asleep at 9 pm regularly or nah?

Just listening to some discussion, it was said that whoever gets Lillard is taking the Nurkic contract. Makes sense.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yeah, that's a load of garbage excuse he's using. He's desperately trying to drive people to sign up for an account so Twitter themselves can get the user's data (how all these sites make money which is fine, part of the deal). But Twitter has completely stagnated since he bought it. On top of driving away tons of advertisers, they aren't attracting new accounts and current accounts are engaging less and less. This is just a desperate move to boost the numbers in the short term but has no long term value and will likely backfire spectacularly

they have consistently broken records for engagement and have actually put out new stuff---- old twitter would take years to put out anything

I would not say so......Dame should not be cheap- but when AD was traded he was young and generally considered a top 10 player. Dame will be 33 in a couple weeks and has lost a lot of some of the recent seasons to injury. AD was on his way up when Dame is on his way down.

STill a great player- but I would not compare the AD and Lillard deals. I would compare Lillard more to the Beal deal--- Lillard more valuable obviously- but closer to that than Davis. Most games he has played in the last 4 seasons is 67

Well of course. Didn't think the Cavs were looking to replace Allen.

How you like what the Lakers have done? Gotta say I don't like it.

You, Mecca, and myself date back to the olden days of FN.....let me just say right now, right here.....























































































LET US START the season on FUCKING MONDAY!!!!!

Something I just heard said, probably true. The pressure of all these signings in LA falls squarely on one person, Anthony Davis.
