Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

Nunn is not going to play a minute with the Lakers this year. His Tibia bruise is NOT healing. He'll be part of the summer purge involving Westbrook who is now rumored to want out of LA as he faces a benching the rest of the season.

Here is one of many articles about Westbrook.

Report: Lakers, Russell Westbrook have ‘mutual interest’ in parting ways

The Lakers' season has fallen well short of expectations and that could lead to changes this summer.

Trade brow to Boston for 3 firsts

You want him?

Doesn't work under the salary cap rules. They would have to include players.

Nunn will be back.

 

[DJ Fieri]

If we can't trade him (and I think we can) RW could also be stretched (like Deng)......that would put us 2.5 mill over the salary cap,

We would then have the non tax payer MLE and bi annual exception to use.

Yup. But the Celtics will have quite a few expiring deals they could offer, plus theis and then the picks

Brown, Smart, Theis and a 1st

 

[Retroram52]

Yea. I agree. We should ship AD out the door to the Celtics for their proposed package. James and AD are both toast as Lakers.

Would a dumbeff statement as this:

Lakers news: Frank Vogel believes Wenyen Gabriel has ‘upside’

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel is hopeful about the potential that forward Wenyen Gabriel, whom the team just signed, has to offer.

www.yahoo.com

If Gabriel has upside, what about Jones and Doumbouya who Vogel just cut to sign this stiff Gabriel. This whole organization is effed from top to bottom.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It's entertaining. People call AD glass but he averages 60 games a season.

About the same as KD (920 games in 15 seasons) but you don't hear people calling him injury prone or glass.....

The Laker hate is real.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James questionable for tonight's game vs the Clipps.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Off Friday so I will try and be here all game.....LOL.

We will see.

[Retroram52]

Soon to be a member of the Miami heat hopefully.

Nunn has a player option I don't think he will turn down.

 

[Retroram52]

I am not sure but you may have a point DJ as his leg bone is not healing so he is going to milk a paycheck for as long as he can. What I find just plain stupid is to think adding another two players, both whom don't play a lick of perimeter defense is going to change the status quo of this well known shit-show. We are down by 5 points at the end of the First Quarter and it is obvious that with Augustin, little has changed.

He is going to try and get healthy so he can get paid next summer. Because he won't get more money this summer anyway.

Also, the season isnt' going anywhere. So why rush it back for a season going nowhere?

 

[Retroram52]

And the lead widens as this team is lost.

 

[Retroram52]

Agreed Q. Nunn is hoping something will give but to date, healing has ceased.

 

[Retroram52]

And now the lead is a full 10 points. Loss 35 is on its way.
