The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

We need somebody to get on J. Green and slow down his threes.

 

[Retroram52]

They are just killing us with long-range shooting.

 

[Retroram52]

AD and James!!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice, DRus!

 

[Retroram52]

Now it's Poole with the long bombs.

 

[Retroram52]

Like I stated earlier. The W's don't have answer inside in the paint.

 

[Retroram52]

Klay is also hitting the threes tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Excellent, Schroeder!!

 

[Retroram52]

I am sure the Lakers are hoping the W's start missing those three bombs and that is what is happening

 

[Retroram52]

That's the way Schroeder!!

 

[Retroram52]

Looney misses a three.

 

[Retroram52]

AD makes both FTs. Well done!!

 

[Retroram52]

Damn it!!

 

[Retroram52]

What are you doing Schroeder?!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice shot by James!

 

[Retroram52]

Well-played half as we go into halftime up by one!

 

[Retroram52]

That was one of the best defensive quarters by the Lakers I have seen this year. AD was awesome the whole game. Reaves was excellent and DRus, James, and Schroeder all played great in the second half. The Lakers weathered that 14-0 run and made the plays they needed down the stretch. Thursday night is the next match-up.

 

[The Q]

? Don't know what you're getting at...

Basically they now feel like they’re one player away from at least a wcf run (could still get there) but having Beasley and that first to trade to get another key rotation guys seems like a missed opportunity

Also just read hollinger this morning ln the athletic and it sounds like the lakers will likely be hard capped if they retain reaves

Not sure how that's applicable. From my understanding, the tax apron hard cap is triggered by using the non-taxpayer MLE (Lakers will be taxpayers), using the bi-annual exception, or acquiring a player thru sign and trade. Reaves doesn't apply to any of those. Just sounds like they won't be acquiring a S&T player or using the bi-annual (approx $4.5M).
