The Los Angeles Lakers 2023-2024 NBA season

[Retroram52]

The Lakers came out flat, got too far behind, tried to make a comeback in the Fourth Quarter, and couldn't get it done because they were not playing any substantial defense like they played the night before. James had a triple double but nearly everyone else demonstrated a mental attitude that was bordering on disdain and resentment for playing in a back-to-backer that everyone in the NBA these days hates. Typical modern day players. They want the big money and then they mentally choose which games they are going to really play in and which ones they are just going to show-up in.

AD disappeared last night.

Lakers are now 5-10 in their last 15 games against the Kings.

They just cannot beat those guys, it's pathetic.

A defensive guard would certainly help with Fox. Maybe Vincent can help in that regard when they next play? Vando's defense could help as well.

AD disappeared last night.

3 games in 4 days, even with a 4th quarter rest in game 2. Lebron got a game off in that mix and played better. Sucks, but it's a game in November, not a huge deal.

But, it's a recurring pattern with him.

But, it's a recurring pattern with him.

Sure, but then it's on Lebron and Ham to get him going. He needs to be fed the ball, it's not really in his nature to continuously demand the ball. This is correctable.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, James and AD must be applying pressure on Pelinka to move Vincent and DRus in a trade to the Bulls for Zach Lavine which would be a stupid trade but it smells alot like James playing GM again.

This is not a trade, this is highway theft by the Bulls of high order, The Bulls want Vincent, DRus, Hachimura and two First Round picks, 2028 and 2030 for Lavine. What a joke,

Shit, why don't the Bulls throw in Demar DeRosen for that haul?

Proposed Lakers Trade Package Swaps Starter for 2-Time All-Star

The Los Angeles Lakers rumors are heating up suggesting the team is interested in trading for Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine.

Sorry. The Bulls want Jalen Hood-Schifino in the package not Vincent who at this point is probably done for awhile seeing he has a bad knee.

 

[Retroram52]

Here is another take.

Would trading for Zach LaVine help the Lakers?

Any offer from the Lakers for Zach LaVine probably would begin with D’Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura.

We started 2-10 last season and 6-6 this season. And we are still missing several rotation players.

This season should be a lot better than last season.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I agree and the Lakers should not trade for LaVine! Just let the present roster gel and they will be fine for the season! If the Bulls want to trade with the Lakers, the Lakers should send them Vincent and a protected Second Rounder!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Was not a fit with the Lakers but this guy wins at life....mad respect for RW.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I would not want Klay Thompson..........

He is really bad right now.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James balled out last night. Little early but fuck it I will say it. He posting MVP type numbers.

Russell was efficient but nobody else had a great game.

That ain't getting it done, Retro and I don't think you can put protections on a 2nd rounder.

Besides, the Bulls will get a 1st, probably 2, for Zach.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers should not be the one sacrificing their roster and two number ones for this guy. It is a bad deal for the Lakers!

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers host the Rockets tonight. We should win that game.

Check out this parlay I hit last night. Steph clinched it vs the Thunder. Alternate point and prop bets.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow dude. You are raking-in the cash!! Yep. The Lakers should win this Houston match-up, but historically, they hate playing on Sundays at home as much as they disdain back-to-backers!!

Down to my last 5 on FD and I put together a wild 25 leg parlay and altered it.

MY LUCKY ASS. LOL.
