The Lakers 2024 Offseason Thread

[shopson67]

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.

 

[Retroram52]

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.

I think the Lakers Jeanie Buss and the Buss family should now follow the Celtics ownership and put the Lakers up for sale. Jeanie Buss and her siblings have run this franchise into the ground and their business model is outdate and has lost touch with the present-day NBA.

Maybe if they had not won a title just a few seasons ago....

Don’t want Lopez.

Been there, done that. And he isn’t worth trading away those guys for.

Has the FO lost their freakin minds?

 

[Retroram52]

Yea ALR. The Lakers have dropped their interest in Brook Lopez. They are focusing on moving DRuss with the Nets.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers and Pelinka need to stop this shit!! They are done. DeRozan is going to sign with Miami to play with Jimmy B and Jeremi Grant is not worth any yielding of anymore draft capital just to make a trade. He is not going to improve the Lakers anymore than what they already have.

Rob Pelinka is willing to give up draft picks in the right deal

Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said he will continue to be aggressive in pursuing trades and that he's willing to give up draft capital.

Lakers sign their draft steal. Kid should do very well.

Lakers sign Tennessee standout Dalton Knecht to first-round contract

The Lakers signed Dalton Knecht, the 17th overall pick in the NBA draft, on Tuesday to his rookie-scale contract.

Horrible front office. Lame/Subpar acquisitions and then re-signing a 40 year old that hasn't played D in a decade to a contract $100M plus and giving him the run of the kingdom. Gimme a break. Whos running that shit? Biden?

They have essentially fucked themselves for god knows how many years now. Sell it off to someone who knows how to run it

The Lakers are the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA, more concerned about their brand vs winning championships.

If the Lakers are smart, they should bring back Kuzma and Ingram and drop the pursuit of Grant. Useless.

Kuz AND Ingram? How can they add both?

LOL.

 

[Retroram52]

Well they are not going to add Kuzma because he sucks as a replacement for DRuss and Ingram is probably going elsewhere. So now its neither, dude!

This didn't age well....
