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

[CP1708]

Oh good lord.
Everything is possible when you make stuff up.
I think I heard Windy say Bron wants the name changed to Los Angeles Klutch.
Never know! Maybe!

Scoff all you want, if I told you in 2014 Kobe's agent would be making all our decisions the next decade you'da told me I was crazy as ****.

And now you're hoping he throws a few more draft picks on the fire......

*Shrugs*

Not AR

Guys like him & Shannon Brown & Trevor Ariza & Devean George & Alex Caruso, it sucks seeing them go because they become the heart & soul of the team with their hustle and constant 'go', but you can't make them your deal breakers.

 

[lovehateself]

This is why NBA reporting is such a joke...

he got the klutch memo

“Don’t forget to use emojis”

If they have the choice, they’ll cut bait with Garland.

So it isn’t a full on Mitchell is getting traded. He could. It’s the more likely of the two. But Cavs could pivot some with Mitchell.

 

[pmatic]

Only three games is interesting.

 

[tupac003]

Seems like the preseason is getting shorter and shorter

 

[moonman818]

Considering most guys treat the regular season like the preseason until All-Star Break I'm ok with it

 

[essential1]

Ingram and a pick for Garland. Easy swap there.

The fact that these rumors are dropping is the Cavs tipping their hand on what they want. Mitchell could take it out of their hands of course.

 

[noblekane]

so we gonna trade for bruce brown or nah?

would be the laker thing to do

 

[tupac003]

 

[lovehateself]

si

puede

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Most head coaching experience out of tue bunch and did a great job in CLT considering what they had.

Don't want him as the HC but wouldn't be mad at the hire one bit. If AD likes him, Bron prolly let him live.

Paging pmatic


Orlando needs a point guard…Garland
Cavs need help on the wing…Bridges
Brooklyn needs picks… don’t know what either team has to offer

What kind of 3 team trade can you cook up?

Let’s say the Magic find their pg of the future, just wondering who is else out there for DLo

It really comes down to Mitchell. If he doesn't sign the extension with the Cavs, I can't imagine the Cavs dealing Garland. Garland doesn't fit the Magic's usual MO of big guards, and he would take the ball out of Paolo and Franz's hands, but beggars can't be choosers.

I don't think Brooklyn will sell off Bridges. They don't own their picks so they will be looking to be competitive and not bottom out.

Assuming in this scenario that Mitchell won't sign his extension unless the roster is upgraded... DG and Allen would be the assets I think they'd be willing to move since they don't have any picks.

If Orlando adds any PG they'll be taking the ball out of their forwards hands, but the tradeoff is at least Garland can get in the paint and help Orl play a faster pace... Magic have their own picks plus 2025 1sts from Denver and Phx or Washington that they could offer. That's supposedly a loaded draft, picks seem like they'd be pretty valuable.

Cle adds a couple of wings... Orlando gets their pg, create an opportunity for Howard lol... Nets get Levert back, a young prospect and a couple of picks.

 

[essential1]

Only issue is Suggs (RFA) and both Wagners deals come up after the season.
Paolo (RFA) the year after.

Could run into some issue in 12 months depending on what Suggs, Franz and Paolo get.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Didn't orl and cle just run 7 games . Would be funny if they made a trade

 

[grittyman]

I'm probably late, but my first time seeing Max Christie's exit interview...

 

[darthska]

Bro WUT?!

 

[essential1]

Luckily, no one had to ever root for George Karl to be good.

 

[CP1708]

I expect that exact same gif in the movie thread......
