The Los Angeles Lakers 2022 Off-Season Thread

[DJ]

Give up young talent and 1st round picks to get RW only to trade more 1st rounders to unload him a year later.

Man this FO is a mess.

Maybe, but if it results in Irving and Harris it would be worth it.

Irving isn't a PERFECT fit with James, but he's a better and pretty good fit with James and AD since he can shoot (Harris/Curry can too) and he has played with James. Irving can come in and play PG but in reality be the SG since James is the de facto PG. And Irving showed with the Nets he can still play at a high level.....Irving, James and AD is a pretty good trio.

"The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook, 2024 second-round pick, 2028 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell and No. 22 tonight, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium."

Picks? 1. Gave up #22 and got 2 second round picks back.

It is wild to me the lakers could’ve been rolling with kcp hield and Schroeder (I know, but still) rather than Russ

I don't think this season would have ended up that differently.

James and AD were hurt.

Supposedly, Lakers are interested in a former player they released after rookie season, C, Thomas Bryant who last played with the Wiz.

Also this:

Lakers could target Eric Gordon if they don’t get Kyrie Irving

It seems like the Lakers have a plan B in case a Kyrie Irving trade doesn't go down.

Question is: Is the team that Gordon is on willing to take Westbrook's contract?

 

[tomodach10]

Atleast, they are getting younger legs this offseason.

 

[Retroram52]

Another G-League player is standing-out and he is a good one. Paris Bass. Played for the Suns and is back in LA to make a splash!

Lakers could benefit from adding versatile Paris Bass to their roster

The Los Angeles Lakers could benefit from a guy like Paris Bass who had a big day in the California Classic Summer League.

A tweet I saw mentioned Hield and Gordon being backup for Irving.

It would be for like THT, Nunn for Hield. Maybe 1 of the firsts.

Not sure about a deal for Gordon

 

[DJ]

I don't like that either.

Nunn could be a difference maker.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, DJ, there is a lot of rumors going on about who the Lakers are going to trade for. The key obhective is to move Westbrook and get some better help as a replacement. The focus is too much on Kyrie when it could easily be Hield for Westbrook and maybe a First or Second.

 

[DJ]

RW, Reaves and a 1st for Irving and Harris.

THT, Nunn and a 1st for Hield.

Irving
Hield
Harris
James
AD

Reaves
Walker
Brown Jr
McClung
Melo
Toscano
Jones

Sign some more FA's
