The Lakers 2024 Offseason Thread

I heard that but it doesn't mean the Lakers won't deal him if it means improving the roster.

He doesn't have a NTC.

Reports are the Lakers will AGGRESSIVELY pursue trades involving DLo. I think they may have a DFS deal in hand.

We shall see pretty soon.

Max Christie isn't the player Bron was talking about taking less for.

4 years and 32 mill.

SMH.

No. James was talking about Klay, mostly. Valanaciunas is headed to Washington and Harden is re-upping with the Clipjoint. The Lakers could get Brook Lopez for Vanderbilt and maybe Reddish or Vincent or maybe all three.

You don't like them keeping Max? It was a clear target of theirs. 8M AAV is a bit more than some projected, but he also signed it before FA started, preventing competing offers driving up the price even more. Ham kept his value down by using Reddish over him far too much.

I think I'm out on Brook (and the Bucks don't really have a pathway to replace him, so I doubt he's moved). Lakers are supposedly discussing a Grant trade with Portland, maybe they work Williams into that move?

If Al Horford had a nineteen year old son who was 6'10" scored 30 points, 8 Rebs a game at UCLA and came out for the draft, would every team pass on him so that the Celtics could draft him at #54??

Is that your Bronny comparison? When did Bronny get the guard equivalent of 30/8 lol?

Lakers getting criticized simultaneously for forcing Bronny to their pick AND for drafting a supposedly unworthy player at pick 55. It would be simpler for critics to just come out and say they hate Lebron and/or the Lakers.
