The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

On the surface last night was a bad loss but the Hornets had their starting lineup healthy....not exactly a tanking lineup.

The Lakers are a conundrum at this point. Idleness and paralysis, doing nothing is just going to exacerbate losing with fragile-boy out AGAIN! Pelinka and friends really should decide to crap or get off the hopper. But I doubt anything will get done in the near future now that Jeanie Buss is getting married to that comic dude.

Their last 3 first rounders didn’t play


What a disaster franchise lol

 

[Retroram52]

Spot on Q. They are indeed a mess and they are just going through the motions (or so it appears) in this sort of loser's limbo. Pathetic.

They also want to sign bridges to get his suspension over this year so when they land Vic they’re ready to go

I don't know why the Lakers seem to always focus on the backcourt when their problems right now are in the frontcourt. They have a host of guards some of whom are useless. DJ's fav trade would make the most sense because they could get their problems in the frontcourt addressed by bringing in Turner and then they could get their guards-lust fulfilled with Hield. All they have to do is get on it before the trade deadline and give-up at least one of the coveted First Rounders but like I stated, I doubt much will get done at least in the near future.

They really need a bigger wing to shoot and defend 3s

And wouldn’t cost both firsts


And maybe let’s you keep beverly by trading for Richardson instead of hield

 

[Retroram52]

You can have Beverley and Nunn. Send them both to Indiana with a Second and maybe somebody like Brown Jr and that should pry Turner and Hield loose.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers starting-out pretty stout in the first quarter against Dallas. up by 11.

You could probably get hayward, who fits the lakers perfectly and keep a first

Plus get like oubre and plumlee

Then turn nunn, a c like Jones and maybe Christie in a deal for Richardson

 

[Retroram52]

Bryant is in at Center. Doing well so far.

 

[Retroram52]

I wouldn't send Christie anywhere. He is going to be a good one. Make Brown Jr. and Richardson should be a done deal.

 

[Retroram52]

Schroeder is playing well these days.

 

[Retroram52]

Shit, since the Lakers don't want to play D today, the Mavs have come back to within 6 points.

 

[Retroram52]

Typical Lakers when James plays. Everyone else just stands and watches him shoot. Mavericks have come back to within 4 as the Lakers fade.

 

[Retroram52]

Brown hits a three. That helps.

 

[Retroram52]

Schroeder has made all of his shots so far.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers have played some D finally and they have boosted their lead back to 11.

 

[Retroram52]

Dallas comes back to within 6.
