The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Exactly tlance. I think the Lakers have an idea stuck their heads and they need to let it go for now and focus on what they have. Pick it back up in the summer. They may also have to contend with an ugly mess now with the rescinded Williams trade the Hornets are contesting. I don;t think Charlottle has a case but....

Yeah, wasn’t going to be their year anyway.

Get a summer to build around Luka and I think they could make some noise next year.

Meh, if they can Bamba or someone similar to come in on a buyout to get through the rest of the season and playoffs, they absolutely should. That wouldn't do anything to prevent them from shopping for someone better in the off-season.

I'm not too worried about it. All trades hinge on passing a physical.

Mamba is def the consensus signing, TJF12. So I suspect the Lakers and Pelinka will eventually add him. That would be a good stop-gap measure because the Lakers are playing very well as a team on both Offense AND Defense.

Redick is doing a masterful job getting good rotations and everyone appears to be buying-in. Should be fun to watch going forward.

I am not either, Shopson.

I am not either, Shopson.

You guys don’t feel bad about taking advantage of the Hornets?

 

[Retroram52]

Too funny Thunderc.

 

[Retroram52]

Nope, Len is not the best option. Mamba is.

Lakers have obvious buyout answer after nixed Mark Williams trade

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to sign a center off the buyout market after the Mark Williams trade fell through.

Too funny Thunderc.

I mean they really should feel bad at least

 

[Retroram52]

You would think so, Thunderc, but this is the NBA and they can be absolutely cutthroat and not even break a stare. I think Dennis Schroder addressed it by stating something about modern slavery.

They'll continue to use their 2 way guys as depth until they need to secure their playoff roster. Not sure what the cutoff is for 2 way guys to convert to the 15 and be eligible? It seems they want to convert Koloko.

Since there is no great option, there's no need to rush. The longer they wait, the more they can stretch that available $1.6M.

I think DFS makes some sense, He played overseas this year and his season is complete.

Not a Len fan at all, and been there, done that with Bamba.

Who knows, maybe the Hornets are successful in challenging the canceled trade (ha ha, just kidding).

I mean, there kinda is a reason to rush. Not like immediate, but they shouldn't play it out into March or whatever keeping options open. They need another center. There aren't any good options whether its Theis, Len, or Bamba. But there is a chance those guys could sign elsewhere if you keep waiting around and you can end up screwing yourself if something were to happen to Hayes. All this signing has to do is be a body, 6 fouls for 10 mins a game if needed. Reddish, Morris, Wood (if he's never gonna be cleared) aren't going to have much use on this roster. Just make the cut and get someone that might

You really don't know how it will turn out - because sometimes there are problems not disclosed by the other time - In this case Luka has been called lazy - That's really worse then an injury - Either way - Not to get political - but with the country being the taken the advantage of by the few wealthy in office and half of the nation lying to protect them - I find it hilarious that any one either side could keep a straight face while asking your question. So in short - If I ever found a suitcase of money - I am going to take it home and say nothing to anyone -

Hey man, joke, you said the word fittest, chill.

The Phoenix owner is an idiot

They better compete for the playoffs next year or there is something wrong

Everything is cut throat today - If the Lakers don't screw the other team over- Some one else will - But the Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol was still the better trade - This this one hasn't led to a championship yet - And I am still going to keep that suit case of money - If I find it - lol
