A King and an Empire: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2018-19 season

Everyone acting like a Lebron lead team isn’t gonna be prone to a rough start and drama during the season.

Every team he been on it’s been that it’s gonna be far from smooth sailing we get Kawhi because that dude move different.

Yo I'ma miss BI(and Lonzo) for real. I hope BI in particular develops into a superstar and Lonzo gets a shot.



I'm happy with the trade, but it just feels a bit weird throwing away all those years of tanking and acquiring these guys and we won't even get to reap the benefits. I mean the main benefit is Davis, but still feel some type of way.

Contender? Pump the brakes. Bron couldnt get us to the playoffs this year and looked flabby for alot of the season, and AD hasn't won shyt despite having decent talent. I mean harden has taken way less talented teams deep into the playoffs than AD had and people call him overrated.

Bron was NOT looking flabby before the injury stop with the bullshyt

[Colejeezy]

i feel like bron and the lakers got a wink type deal with another player coming in if they can get this AD deal done.

At this point with Kemba its a “why not try?” Approach. Kemba could be swayed by the LA lifestyle, the premise of winning alongside Bron and Davis, and free Jeanie Buss blow jobs (apparently she down for the cause with her nasty ass)

The WORSE that could happen is he’s in “money first” mode (which I wouldn’t blame him in the SLIGHTEST) and gets the bag with Charlotte. In which case thats not even an L for the Lakers. It couldn’t hurt to set up a pitch meeting to gauge interest.


Remember the league is now WIDE OPEN in a way it hasn’t been in about 6-7 years. This free agency class before the injuries was shaping up to be the wild west of NBA fukkery. Players allegiances change on the dime.

What's the pitch. We can give you 60- 80 million less than the Hornets?

Makes sense, Lonzo traded for that #2 jersey

 

[Sinnerman]

That's not so bad then

 

[ALonelyDad]

what is right to defer mean?

 

[Sinnerman]

what is right to defer mean?

Lakers have the right to draft the pick for themselves in 2024 if they like the spot. If they do, then the 2025 pick goes to New Orleans, and we keep the 2024 pick

Or maybe I should switch that around.

 

[KOBE]

Also I have no idea why people are upset about Josh Hart.

I mean he had he's a hustle player, but he's literally replaceable with a minimum guy.


I think we get Melo for sure.

For guards it's probably something like Meeks/Calderon/Rondo if he comes back on the minimum.

I think we should definitely bring back Caruso even if it hurts getting that other third star a bit because we need some level of depth.

For minimum forwards we probably look at Ed Davis/Noah/Dedmon/Zeller.

I want Davis back most of all because I was pissed when we let him go in the first place and he was great against Philly in the playoffs before he got hurt.

Being a Lakers fan right now...

GOAT franchise shyt

all these bum ass fans soooooooooooo furious

 

[THE MACHINE]

So Lakers keep their 2021 pick
Pels get Lakers 2022 pick
Lakers keep their 2023 pick, Pels won't swap to a worse pick (assuming Lakers are better than the Pels
Pels get 2024 pick
