The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[DJ]

The Lakers only want to offer Irving a 2 year deal to align with James.

Smart. We'll see what Irving says.

No team wants to offer a 4 year deal.

So glad the Lakers didn’t get in the Irving non-sense.

Mavs gave up quite a bit for that head case.

Rob needs to be working on a deal now that Irving is on the Mavs.

Um..........

DFS, Dinwiddie, a 1st and a 2nd is quite a bit? LOL.

Reaves to return tonight.

I think it’s time to admit the AD-LeBron pairing no longer works.

It worked for the 1 season that ended in the bubble, but since then has been a disaster.

This is no Kobe-Shaq or Kobe-Gasol.

Lakers would be smart to trade AD while he is healthy and his value is high, because these 2 superstars are not cutting it together.

They are either injured or they just don’t work well enough together to be successful.

It certainly doesn't work when AD is out there sleep-walking like last night. Something was up with him, he didn't even stand with the rest of the team to see Lebron's game winning shot.

I think you meant his record breaking shot.

The Lakers lost.

Why did the Lakers trade for Russell?

He didn’t work the last time, what makes them think it will be different now that he’s old.

1-He is 26.

2-Making 47% and 39% of his shots.

3-They also added a good shooter in Beasley and a young stud in Vanderbilt. Both under contract for next season while Russ is expiring but they could flip him in a sign and trade.

4-They only gave up their '27 1st rounder. They still have Walker, Bev and their '29 1st to make another deal.

They won this deal.

 

[DJ]

LOL at old.

26.

Well DJ, you got your trade and with moving Westbrook and adding younger players to go with the first trade of Nunn to get Hachimura, the Lakers got younger and brought in some deep shooting and youth. Not too shabby.

Nope.

And Rob will try and move Walker, Bev and that other 1st rounder IMO.

I’m meant older, not that he was old. Sorry for the miscommunication
