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

[Admiral Ackbar]

Yo, Scottie Pippen Jr. is now teammates with his former stepdad Malik Beasley

 

[Mars]

I also think Russ is going to the Clippers now.

Good...Let Russ take away possessions from Kawhi/PG13

@GreatestLaker trying to find a way to praise these trades without giving credit to Rob or Jeanie

People who said Bron gutted the team's future were either lying or clueless.

I’ll believe it when I see it on this team .. but that’s what they better hope he can do becuse they have nothing else in the event he falters

They really do need some sort of real 3 & D guy …maybe they’ll just outscore people ..that could be the strategy because this offense should be excellent with the shooters finally in place …or maybe Ham comes up with some sort of blitz/scramble back scheme but I really worry about them keeping players in front of them on the perimeter… I didn’t initially think they were but they might need to start Vanderbilt over Rui even tho his shooting is shaky

Yeah, it looks like they didn't make a trade so still no 3-and-D. I definitely agree that Vanderbilt might be a better starting option than Rui, or maybe even Bamba.

Rob did it again.

A buckeye I can respect. Come take notes, @smitty22

Look at this fukking fraud

Puts all the blame on Pelinka and cries and daps up every post criticizing Rob, now when Rob makes good moves and RESTORES OUR FUTURE this fakkit uses that to pretend like our future wasn’t gutted and looking very bleak prior to the last few days as way to defend Bron

 

[steph_harden]

Rob Pelinka went from WOAT to GOAT in 2 weeks, what is he on??

Gawdlinka got his weight up. Now he flexing out here damn

 

[TheLostOnes]

Jeanie probably gave some sloppy for some of these moves they doing. Thank you white demon

Gonna miss Pat Bev tho he was by all metrics one of the top defenders at his position. Underrated playmaker and was hitting shots too. Gonna be hard replace his vet presence too

Take notes on this fade.

 

[Regular_P]

Not listening to players

Pelinka

Rob's generally made good moves. The only really bad one was Russ, which was forced on him by Klutch and Jeanie. The insane Klutch/LeBron narrative slandering him for being inept that caught on with so many was nuts.

Wonder what @ALonelyDad is gonna say now that he can't blame Pelinka for Ham's bozo rotations and defensive matchups, like Bev defending small forwards.

 

[Osmosis]

Don’t really understand the Bamba trade …if they were trying to free up room for Gabriel and Vandy where will Bamba get any meaningful minutes And now who are the lakers going to use to guard point of attack in pick n rolls …DLO and Dennis/Beasley?



Maybe they’re going with a “our offense will be our defense” approach

trading lonnie and +a vet min could have got them bamba. Would have done that instead, bev is a culture setter and the best perimeter defender on the squad.
