Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

Reaves has 31 points. Monk has 41 points. Two guys that need to re-up with the Lakers.

Un-freakin-believable. Lakers win it 146-141 in OT. They do not lose 50 games this year and the youngsters played very well!! Keep all the young guys and trade everyone else!!

Monk had 41.

Reaves had 34 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Vogel was smiling last night after the game. Think he knows it's coming and is relieved.

Pelinka needs to be on the hot seat next season.

You realize if we keep all the kids and trade all the vets we likely win 20-22 games next season.....right?

@shopson67, @ChiefsLakers67, @Shaqdaddy11. @trojanfan12 what are the chances of getting some support in these threads next season.....other than cameos?

LOL.

I've stuck mostly to the main NBA board, but only because there wasn't a lot of activity here necessarily.

LOL.

The real fans will be here, as always. It's how we usually separate the real Lakers fans from the bandwagon ones. Last time we fell on hard times you always saw who stuck it out...

Anyways, now that Vogel's fired, I'm for blowing it up. Anyone else...?

To get who/what? That's the big question. If AD comes back in better shape and Lebron is still at the same level more or less, I'd keep both and just move Westbrook. To get true value for AD, the Lakers need a longer stretch of healthy play. I don't think they even consider moving Lebron without him forcing the issue.

If Hield/Brogdon is a real possibility for Westbrook, they need to seriously consider that.

That usually happens when you begin a rebuild. Expect losing seasons for the next several years until at least Jeannie Buss either sells the franchise or cleans-out her "friends" from making basketball decisions. You ain't going to see a championship for awhile DJ. Get used to the idea until this mess in LA gets resolved.

 

[Retroram52]

BTW, Coach K or Nurse are my two choices for the next HC. Ten-to-one, these Rambi idiots will hire Rondo and Howard as the next HCs and then the colossal eff-up will be in full swing.

They aren't going to trade James or AD and do a rebuild. Trade RW and get better pieces/role players and not a Lakers reunion.

If you haven't read, Pelinka would like to do what I suggested because that is where I got it from. Actually I got it from Jerry West who recently said some things that are obvious. They need to rebuild by doing those things but Rambi ain't going to let that happen. So you are probably closer to what will happen unless the FO and ownership get cleaned-up.

Westbrook to the Pacers for Hield and Brogdon is interesting.

I've heard that too. That deal should be done in a heartbeat!

 

[Retroram52]

I agree with both of you but team Rambi have not approved any of it mainly because there is info about that the Pacers also want a number one pick and Rambi are not budging. Stupid fucks are going to eff this thing up. If they would just get out of the way and let Pelinka do his job, Westbrook would be a Pacer like yesterday.

I don't think the Lakers have any firsts to hand out till like 2055

Vogel gone. Thanks Jeannie Buss, Linda and Kurt Rambis, and LeBron James for effing this entire season up and getting this guy fired.

Frank Vogel fired as Los Angeles Lakers coach after disappointing season

Frank Vogel, who coached the Lakers to 2020 title, has been fired after three seasons with the team, the last of which was a 33-49 campaign.
