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

They need to give Russ MORE minutes, his productivity is the highest on the team when factoring in minUtes played and role on the team


I can't remember the last 6th man that affects the game the way he does.

For better or worse, that's AD. Say they trade for Poeltl. What's his purpose when AD is healthy? He's a free agent too.

Trading for a center would be stupid unless the cost is minimal. That's AD's position, not to mention, LeBron thrives as a four now.

Bogdanovic is the guy who makes the most sense by a mile. Small forward shooter who is playoff tested. The Raptors have some guys too like Trent that could fit in.

I do believe they need to trade for guys now to fill out next year's roster because they don't really have that much cap space considering everybody on the roster is a free agent besides Bron, AD and that bum Damian Jones.

AD is best at the center position. But his body just can’t hold up there. Every year it’s been the same thing. It’s time to make some moves to help him out and see if he can be preserved a little more with some real help. And in terms of bigs Turner is the fit out of any other big in the league...save for an Embiid.

You wouldn’t need Turner if AD could stay healthy. But he can’t and he’s probably going to start having a maintenance schedule going forward too so u need a competent big with a skillset to compliment AD when he’s there and LeBron when AD is out.

I agree 100% Bogdanovic would be the perfect fit if All things were level tho...

Stein said the Lakers will most likely play AD at 4 when he comes back, that is why they plan to work out Boogie and Cody Zeller. With that being said, I do not want Poetl. AD already dominates the paint on both ends, you can put any capable big and it should be fine. I am with you on Bogdanavich. He's a proven playoff guy and a shot creator. We struggle at clutch time, and he helps a lot.

Turner or whoever would just probably be for this season. AD not playing center full time after having a stress fracture man.

Well, if they think AD isn't gonna hold up at center and want to trade for a backup plan right now, they need to trade him in the offseason because that's too many resources at center otherwise.

Lakers you my only hope
Keep up the good work

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Kings always play well against the Lakers..don't like these early turnovers

 

[Voice of Reason]

They have to keep Thomas Bryant at all costs him and Bron have terrific chemistry if he wants 8-12 million I would give it to him.

I agree but that's not happening because his trade value is at an all time low and him and Lebron and buddies and business partners.
