Cooked Kings, bytchmade bigs, and shytty snitches: Your 2022-23 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

[Voice of Reason]

How do you construct a roster with so many weaknesses when you have 2 top-10 players to start with?..... It's like LA needs everything.....A defensive wing...A shooter...A defensive big...A Point Guard.

If you're not going to make trades to improve the roster for this year or next, blow it up.

You are exactly correct they need multiple positions.

Blowing it up does not make sense when you don't own your pick next year.

Trade AD and Lebron = Getting Picks.

At this point... You just have to move on from that trade and look for the future.

Try to get yourself a late lottery pick and get a head start on the rebuild.

Ya lakers nikkas is funny man. I really hope you guys can fix this but that ending was wild

AD's trade value is low right now.

But I agree if you could a decent package for him that would kick start a rebuild.

Unless they're able to get back a top young talent/draft picks for AD/Lebron.

Hypothetically...If ATL chooses to move Trae Young and you can get him for Lebron or AD, you have to make the deal.

Breh, you argued that Westbrook was the best player on this team as recently as like two weeks ago. You even argued that the Lakers should construct their team around him... Might want to refrain from acting like the voice of reason

Jeanie and company (Klutch, Pelinka, Rambis, etc) dismantled a championship team in two short years. They were nearly a .500 team without Lebron and AD in 2021, they haven't even approached .500 with Lebron and AD healthy this season. She deserves criticism.

I SURE THE fukk DID. Let's look at exactly what I said.

Jeanie had it right the first time. All things considered with Bron and AD's health, avialblity and play....he's the best and most consistent player the Lakers have. And it would be smarter to trade AD/Lebron for shooting than to rely on their super star upsides to maybe kick in for half a season a piece for the next two years. At least if Westbrook shyts the bed the shooters you get for him can benefit whoever you bring in when his contract is up.

I got negged and laughed at, now we here. Had the Lakers done what I BEEN saying they should do, they'd have the shooting they need and wouldn't be chasing a fukking play-in spot.

When I said, best, I didn't mean statistically, I meant for the team and the scenario they're in. "Building around Russ" entails what? GETTING SHOOTERS FOR HIM TO KICK IT OUT TO. A move that would benefit him or anybody you plug into his roster spot when his contract was up. Yet you had Brian Windhorse crying about why there's so much support for Westbrook from fans and the FO just becuase they won't trade their picks to appease Lebron.

Unless they're able to get back a top young talent/draft picks for AD/Lebron.

Hypothetically...If ATL chooses to move Trae Young and you can get him for Lebron or AD, you have to make the move.

I guess... I just feel like that's unlikely.

Wow…. usually you’re the most optimistic person on here. Now you see what’s going on

this is why I said we're in no mans land

we literally have no direction. if the celtics can trade paul pierce and kg and the clippers can trade blake, u can trade anthony fukking davis. there's no emotional attachment to him whatsoever. those 2 trades set those teams up nicely for the future. we're gonna keep AD until he expires and lose him for nothing.

[CantStop]

AD for John Collins, Hunter and their draft pick this year + a future first

 

[jaydawg08]

At this point.... I'm on board to tear it down. Got a championship out of it, was dope to see. But this organization needs a HARD reset. Mostly starting from the top.

Bron needs to go somewhere else to maximize his last few years, cause he's still amazing and he doesn't deserve to be wasting away his last few years like this.

Front office......... Jeanie Buss needs to take a hard look in the mirror and course correct. The front office can't make "layup" decisions that have cost the Lakers year after year. Signing rookies to 2 year deals and not 3, consistent massive roster turnover every off-season, trying to plan around a FA off-season where the actual players are chit!! Draymond Green or Kyrie is the fukn best player in the FA pool next year, and one is a headcase and the other can't shoot

 

[CantStop]

we should be hoping for more losses

nothing to gain by going 37-45

media started to dikk ride us a bit when we had a little momentum after the 2-10 start. nah we need the clowning. THEY need to get clowned

i dont give a fukk about this team. imagine giving a damn about a team that has a C rotation of Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones

 

[Hersh]

do y'all think we're closer to blowing it up or closer to making the right move to contend?

Westbrook and both picks for Trey? add nun and Bev to get hunter? / Griffin / holiday?

 

[VegasCAC]

Probably could've used Matt Ryan instead of Schroder in the corner
