**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

If the Hawks draft Sarr #1, that makes one of Capela or Okongwu expendable.

Give me Capela for Rui and JHS all day long

I wanted it at the trade deadline. I still want it today

My only reservation is Capela looks to have declined in the last year or two. And it be harder to play him with AD because he has no range (unlike Jarrett Allen, who's my preferred target).

Those are valid concerns with Capela, but why I like Clint so much is that his presence immediately fixes one of the Lakers biggest weaknesses against the bigger and more elite rebounding squads, especially against DEN - offensive rebounding.

Capela, even in his advanced age, was still tops in the league this season in that category.

Allen is top 10 in list as well, and I, too, prefer Allen over Clint but Capela wouldn't be a bad consolation if Lakers are unable to land Allen since Clint may be more gettable should the Hawks draft Sarr

LaMelo is...LaMelo, Bouknight is already out of the league and Trezz has always been a headcase.

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

At least were not the Knicks

So knuckleheads gonna knuckle regardless of the coach…

Another reason to say goodbye to employee #1

Say that in our thread, not their thread.

If Okongwu is available, he's LEGIT. 23 y/o, would be great to have him now and in the future. He defends and can hit 3s.

Sign a Jaime after not drafting a Jaime


And bring back Los Lakers jerseys

Borrego had them over .500 and took them to the playin with various injuries throughout. He should've never been fired but MJ has always been clueless in the fo.

Wouldn't want him as a head coach but great assistant.


Saw two trades over the past week that have me pondering. The PG one is tew much but the Dejounte Murray and Nick Richard's one

Just throwing this out there: I absolutely hated JJ Re_ick at Duke.
I mean HATED.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All sane people did.

 

[Lizakers]

Maybe Chris Finch will be available for us soon

 

[darthska]

Hire Becky Hammon & Hubie.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Thats what the Timperpups get for being compared to the 2010 Lakers

 

[lovehateself]

All sane people did.

so it makes sense for him to come here

One lucky shot deserves another...

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

I was standing in front of a liquor store tv watching this, everyone ran out the store like D Fish in celebration

 

[moonman818]

I'll never forget my brother calling us from college to rub it in that Tim hit the "Game-Winner"

Called him back after .4 and he turned his phone off

That initial interview list is expected to include assistant candidates such as Miami's Chris Quinn and New Orleans' James Borrego among multiple others, sources said.

Kendrick Nunn and Gabe Vincent weren't enough.
