The Lakers 2024 Offseason Thread

[DJ]

Didn't want him as the HC before this.

SMH.

And in 2018 he had to apologize for using a racial slur towards Asians.

SMH.

Redick in two days on the job has already demonstrated he is a complete unmitigated clown. The Lakers are going to regret this hire and they will have to look themselves in the mirror and collectively admit they effed the pooch this time beginning with that idiot Jeanie who supposedly runs this dog and pony show!!

Might be time for the Bus family to cash out and sell the team.

Jerry is rolling over in his grave.

 

[Retroram52]

I fully agree DJ. I have been saying this since the firing of Vogel and that whole fiasco. What she did to the Logo alone qualifies the entire family to take their money and get the hell out of the business because they have become the laughing stock of the league once again.

I don't know shopson. I think we need a lane-clogger for a change. A true Center. AD apparently doesn't want to play the 5 all the time. He wants to more time at the 4 but may Redick wants better defense and kid with kind of body and size is just what we need. You can always rotate in Vanderbilt or a floor space like Hayes or Wood.

I think that's a role for a part time player though. I think Edey in that role is underutilizing the pick and his talents. He just doesn't fit well next to AD offensively. Defensively, he'll struggle with switches and get hunted a bit.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves has come out in public and has stated some of the players believe they need an upgrade at the 5. See for yourself.

Austin Reaves feels Lakers should upgrade at the 5 to help Anthony Davis

Lakers guard Austin Reaves feels Anthony Davis could be an even greater defensive player if he played alongside a physical center.

More speculation about the draft for the Lakers.

Lakers could move up in draft to target two specific prospects

The Lakers could end up being very aggressive during the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft.

Dalton Knecht was a nice e pick.

A JJ Redick type player.

What a nice coincidence for the Lakers and their new hire; the guy that slips out of the lottery is potentially a bigger, modern version of JJ lol (other comps include Wally Szczerbiak, Mike Miller, Grayson Allen, Max Strus, etc). JJ should have an easy time designing plays for Dalton.

Yep. I love it after missing on Whitmore last draft.

I was pissed.....really wanted Whitmore.

The Lakers finally put together a decent First Round draft and select a "steal" that fell to them. Let's see what the Lakers do in the Second Round. Maybe Redick has some influence. We shall see.

Could be pretty uneventful, just waiting to see if Bronny falls to 55. Hopefully they add/buy an early 2nd, would love to add Bona or Smith.

This is too funny.

Bronny James goes unselected in first round of 2024 NBA Draft

Where will LeBron James' son be taken in the second?

Shocker, lol.

 

[DALLAScornhusker]

Great, father and son playing in the G league. No more arguments about who is running the Lakers.

 

[Retroram52]

Too funny. Doesn't take a genius to get the notion that nobody wanted to watch the 2nd Round of the Draft knowing who the Lakers were going to pick outright with no mystery whatsoever!!

 

[DorianRo]

Nothing crooked about that. LOL. I wonder how many legit ball players got overlooked to appease Old ass LeHype's Ego. Well its no secret who runs the Lakers org.

I said a long time ago AD needs to bail out of there and find a REAL organization to play for. Not the Los Angeles Lebrons

 

[Retroram52]

Pretty close Dorian.

 

[Retroram52]

Two more 2-ways signed. One is a French guy.

Lakers sign Armel Traore and Blake Hinson to two-way contracts

The Lakers have added two undrafted free agents to their roster following the 2024 NBA Draft.
