The Lakers 2024 Offseason Thread

[Retroram52]

Considering the source, this article does have a closer-to-reality feel to it and the proposed trades are def doable and all three would help.

1 Dream, 1 reach, 1 realistic free agent for Lakers to target

The Los Angeles Lakers have limited options in free agency. Who are the dream, reach, and realistic targets to help the Lakers contend again?

More speculation: James headed to Phoenix. Only if James walks from his coming offered max contract.

Brony is becoming the focus point.

Bronny James is expected to work out for only a few teams

The number of NBA teams that will get an up-close-and-personal look at Bronny James could be limited.

Here is a sample of the first speculation.

Maybe this will occur after the finals are completed.

Lakers, Nets had midseason trade talks about D’Angelo Russell

When D'Angelo Russell saw his name come up in trade rumors at midseason, one team the Lakers tried to send him to was the Brooklyn Nets.

Ohh.. The coach aint the problem. Its this organization's attachment to a 40 year old player that is living off past success. I don't give a shit who "formally" coaches. Lebron is calling the shots. Lets be real. Jesus Christ you could bring in Jax, Pops, Riley Auerbach and Daily.. It wouldn't change a thing

 

[Retroram52]

I agree with ya DorianRo. The only way we will know the truth is when he finally leaves.

 

[Retroram52]

This would be a horrible trade and signing. Dude is done and should retire.

Lakers could emerge as suitors for Chris Paul this summer

The Los Angeles Lakers could emerge as a suitor for Chris Paul if the Golden State Warriors cut ties with the veteran guard.

Man, Pelinka should have gone balls to the wall to trade for Irving. Luka is great but damn....Bron and Irving plus a big like AD?

We would have been on our way to back to back Finals and most likely back to back titles.

He's a horrible troll, Retro.

Or a sign and trade but that's very unlikely....

If he is released.....at vet minimum? Good addition for 25mpg....especially in the 4th quarter.

This is a sign you didn't watch many Lakers games.....Ham has horrible subbing patterns and refused to call timeout's when needed.

He had a good combine and Klutch pro day.....the kid is boosting his draft stock. Still a likely early to mid 2nd rounder unless some team is desperate to acquire Bron. Despite rumors he is opting out to sign a deal worth 60 mill with the Lakers.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't know DJ. I think that James is going to get what he wants both Redick as head coach and his son playing with him in LA. Klutch Sports and James's influences are not the best for the Lakers in the long run in my mind.

 

[Retroram52]

If James moves on and we end up with Garland at the point and several other pieces, I think we can retool and in a couple of years be on with it!!

WTH?? Since when does the employer pick the coaches for the staff of the HC?? Sorta weird.

Lakers have three targets for JJ Redick’s potential coaching staff

JJ Redick is the favorite to become the Lakers' next head coach, and his staff may be starting to take shape.

Atkinson is the leading candidate to replace Bickerstaff in Cleveland.

Fuck you, Rob!!!!

Setting him up for success since he has no exp. If the HC has very little to no exp you need a coaching staff with exp.
