The Lakers 2024 Offseason Thread

[Retroram52]

Lakers are now officially in the offseason. Thus the appropriate thread. Immediately, the topics will be the roster movements and whether or not the Lakers are going to keep Darvin Ham as their Head Coach. We shall see.

 

[Retroram52]

Lots of speculation as to what James is going to do. Most recent proposal is a bunch of assets going to Chicago for Zach Lavine. If the Lakers could get LaVine for say Cam Reddish, Hood-Schifino and a Second Rounder, that would be a better trade. We shall see though.

Could the Chicago Bulls trade Zach LaVine to the Los Angeles Lakers?

If such an offer were on the table for the Bulls, they ought to pounce.

Here is another run at several trade ideas. I like the second one.

The Lakers should focus in on Trae Young and DeJounte Murray. Send any combination of Hachimura, Hood-Schifino, Russell, Reddish, and Vincent for Trae Young and Dejounte Murray.

This is what this bitch really thinks.

Ham is toast would be my guess. So another season, another LeScapeGoat. Lebron will bring in some coach that bends over to his will (and then if lakers lose again he’ll be toast
(To placate the 40 year old) like the last 3 coaches. They’ll probably ditch AD due to his constant injuries and bring in a healthier superstar would be my guess. And then Bronny with his .00000000001 PPG will be drafted.

I still like Murray too. However, it seems the Hawks may be keeping him over Trae.

That's easy to say, but Schroeder left for a bigger role (and to get away from Ham, who threw him under the bus a bit).

Well, here ya go DJ.

Lakers fire Ham after 2 postseason appearances

Darvin Ham has been fired as Lakers coach after reaching the Western Conference finals last year and winning the inaugural in-season tournament.

www.espn.com

It finally happened.

Who is replacing him?

 

[Retroram52]

Nobody knows at this juncture, ALR!

 

[DorianRo]

Only took a few days for LeScum to run off (is it the third coach? LOL). Ham was decent.. He'll find a nice home place. Ive seen alot worse coaches than Ham. Most thought the Lakers would get demolished by Denver and they didn't.. They were in many positions to win the series. They would have had a nice deep run if they avoided Denver (the worst possible matchup for them). Who knows may have made the finals if someone took Denver out

They fired the entire coaching staff? Including Handy?

New coach will want to bring in his own staff. Most were Ham's guys, other than Handy. It is funny to see him called a "long term assistant;" that long term is 5 years lol.

Fuck it.

Let James walk.

 

[shopson67]

Fuck it.

Let James walk.

Not going to happen. He likely signs a 2+1 extension after he opts out. He won't sign for a while though, to maintain some leverage on Pelinka.
