Trade Pat Bev, Nunn, Lonnie Walker and two future 2nd rd picks to Spurs for Josh Richardson and Doug McDermott.

Slap yourself.

Lol why? They’re barely playing and Spurs are in full tank mode.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

THIS is a good take.

Russ has been the MIP of the year so far with his ability to generate scoring opportunities for the Lakers with seemingly NO SHOOTERS.

It's still early, and the Lakers have another 2 levels to reach before they hit their final form.

With that said, it might be time to bet on the LAKERS to win the most unlikely championship in its history...

Shut the fukk up.

Looking sweet now

Need one consistent shooter

 

[Boonapalist]

With AD playing like this I’m actually looking forward to Laker games again win or lose

 

[areohbee824]

Absolute masterclass performance and on the road against one of the best. Bron playing much better too. Great way to open up the road trip

Shut the fukk up.

You don't like what I have to say?

Put me back on ignore and never qoute me again.

But everyone knows you can't do that, theres too much evidence of a personality disorder from you.

So deal with it, Loony nikka.

I have a few Pat Bev jerseys I can send to you and the fam.

LWO. Lets Ride!

Reaves makes defenses pay on offense hitting open shots and creating while Caruso still clanking wide open shots. Defensively caruso is bette due to athleticism but reaves ain’t no slouch due to his iq

Wake me up when they are above .500

Why don’t the lakers have these young developmental guys on longer contracts? So Lonnie walker basically is just there for the season. They couldn’t do those 2-3 year deals for guys like reeves?

 

[staticshock]

Hawks-Lakers finals coming up

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Russ 6 man/ most improved
AD MVP/DPOY
Lebron community assist award


Those are my predictions for this year

These guys are on veteran minimum deals or in Walker’s case he signed for the tax payer MLE as LAL had no cap space this summer.

Lakers don’t have their bird rights to sign them to go over the cap.

So to keep them they will need to use their 2023 cap space.

I got it but I'll use some teams as examples. You know those deals like the 76ers use to give to guys like Covington. The Lakers seem like they have a constant depth turnover and don't lock the developmental guy's into longer term contracts. Basically the Hinkie specials. The Heat and Raptors are some of the better teams at that lately basically those end of bench guys that they tie into 2-3 season deals who end up becoming productive depth.

Lonnie Walker for example would to me be more valuable on a 2 year or 3 year deal right now. During free agency (I know he's Klutch) couldn't they have used that MLE on a person who stays around longer? Not saying anything is wrong with Walker but I would for example have liked him better on a 2 year team option type of deal. Because if Walker remains healthy he will most def not be playing for the MLE next season.
