The 2023-2024 NBA Season

History? He's not even the dirtiest in the current league. Chris Paul is still active

Grayson Allen too

Incredible

And he's the real MVP 2023-2024 NBA.

The Lakers shot 38% from 3 last season. So, their 3-point shooting was fine. Better than it has been, maybe ever. DeRozan is really good in the midrange game. With what the Lakers have in paint scoring and if they can stay close to what they did from 3 this season...DeRozan could do a lot of damage with the midrange game.

Lebron, D-Lo, Rui and Prince all shot 40% or better from 3 and Reaves shot 37%.

Also, they can still make a trade or 2, if necessary.

As I said, I don't see them getting him, but they can definitely use him if he decides he's made enough money in his career.

I knew that the Lakers perimeter shooting including threes did improve last season but I was unaware of the percentage change. Then the Lakers should change their tune and focus on the roster they have for continued improvement. Like you stated, if DeRozan wants to come to LA, I am sure they'll work something out but the Lakers are going to have to cut somebody's salary to make the numbers work.

Well, as I thought and others too. The lakers ain't doin' any big, third-star trades this summer because they don't have the money for any of them like Young, Murray, or a DeRozan. Just going to make a few tweak trades to continue to improve the present roster and sign James to a Max.

Buha: Lakers are leaning toward not trading for a third star

The Lakers may not swing for the fences and go after a big name this summer.

More evidence. The Lakers are having trouble deciding on their HC. Everyone is waiting to see what happens in the draft as well.

Lakers would prefer to keep Austin Reaves this offseason

The Lakers seem to value guard Austin Reaves very highly.

If I understood what I read correctly, they could sign him with their TPMLE without affecting anyone else's salary. But it would be a big haircut.

They might be able to do a sign and trade, but I'm not sure of the rules or if they'd want to use it on DeRozan.

I doubt he would take less than the MLE...even though he is from CA. If he took the TPMLE that would be sweet.

It was a hell of a goaltend to save the day

I'm glad it didn't get called. LeBron got another ring (in a place that had never had one) and the Warriors got KD and created one of the few best teams to ever play together. I don't think they do it if they win back to back in 2016

If they called it KD is a Celtic…


So they definitely should’ve called it…

You read correctly, TJF12 and I firmly believe the Lakers are going to forego doing much trading this summer. They may accommodate DRuss if he wants out. That would be the only sign-and-trade I think the Lakers would be involved in and the return probably would not involve Young, Murray, or DeRozan. I think the Lakers are going to focus in on their new HC search and the draft.

Definitely would be, but like I said...that's a big haircut for him.

No idea what their relationship might be but if Gilbert wants to swoop in with big money for him that would be OK.

Paycut.

It’s because he’s about to play a universal villain in the sports world.

Oh wow! Who could see this coming? The Celtics fan says don’t pick on the white guy, let me throw two black guys under the bus instead.

There’s a reason I said in the nba

Allen has more notoriety in college
