The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Idk what you do as NO if you just trade Ingram for picks

Their FAs are….fine but moving this salary to keep them doesn’t move the needle

You may as well trade cj and do a little reset

Trade Zion while you’re at it because what you are saying sounds like a rebuild

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Lots of talk about Paul George coming back to the OKC. I don’t see Presti making that kind of a splash but it may be doable.

We all know you want James

That’s kind of my point

If you just get picks for Ingram…what are you even doing

I don’t see a path forward

lol you give up and rebuild too quick. They just had a rebuild 5 years ago. Made the post season 3x since I believe

What do you call dumping ingram for draft picks

Cj is on the back 9 of his career

Zions body is a ticking time bomb

It’s a tough spot to be in

Teams that in general dont have a path forward keep the league afloat right?

All of this stems from the Riley presser to end the season. I don’t think Butler goes anywhere. Pat Riley is almost dead. He’s not trading away his best player to rebuild. He wants to take one more swing at a trophy.

I agree but that all depends what he can get for Jimmy. At this point the benefit of trading him is less than keeping him imo

The lakers can’t play themselves….

It’s not only keeping him, it’s extending him for over 50m per year in his late 30s

Opening up a starting spot for Murphy is what I call it

 

[redskinsfan1963]

who besides the lakers/Cavs need a hc?

Yeah....I agree with this.

They aren't doing anything in the WC.

Murphy was already playing 30mpg

Injuries

Starting to be some rumors re: what a JJ Redick coaching staff might look like if the Lakers hire him.

Saw an article that if they hire Redick, they're expected to target, Sam Cassell, James Borrego and Jared Dudley.

Not sure I like the idea of hiring Redick, but I like the idea of those assistants.

But if only they could the last decade

Possibly Sacramento with the way their extension talks with Mike Brown seem to be going.

Lakers should simply bring him back

Or cough up their first for Lue

Not sure he'd be interested considering how things ended the last time.

Doubt the Clips are giving up Lue...especially to the Lakers.

If LeBron trusts Reddick (and I believe he will, at least at first) then I think it is a gamble worth taking.
