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

[Trojan 24]

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.

I never lost faith in @Regular_Pelinka

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

he was shooting at 40% from 3 in the recent months

gonna miss his tenacity and fukkery

 

[Regular_P]

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.

Those salaries don’t add up.

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

You can respect this neg too.

Would be nice to get Pat Bev back after he gets bought out but that ain’t allowed right?

 

[steph_harden]

Buyout Market about to be popping. Who ya’ll want?

If they didn’t get Bamba I woulda said Ibaka if he had anything left in the tank

Reggie Jackson might be a good look

Klove might get bought out too..

Nah. He’s gotta go to another team first. That’s that Gary Payton rule. Stanley is eligible to come back tho…

If Will Barton gets bought out, he’d be worth a look.

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.

It’ll be interesting because Vandy is just a flat out better more versatile defender than Bamba but starting Bamba would allow you to put AD in his more natural 4 role where he can go back to really wreaking shyt as a roamer … Ham is definitely on the hot seat right now tho he has a short time to figure his rotations out and they can’t afford to lose games in that process ..if I were him I’d probably go

DLO
Walker
Vanderbilt
Bron
AD

At least this way you have some athletes out there to mitigate their poor transition defense and I would stagger DLO with Bron to protect him a little and always make sure a playmaker was on the floor ..the bench would be nice tho

Beasley
Reaves
Rui
Gabriel/Bamba (whoever’s working that night)

Schroeder and Brown would be out of my rotation ..redundancies

Yeah we’ll see what Darvin does …will be really interesting to see what his rotations look like ..he has a lot of mouths to feed

 

[HoldThisL]

Can't believe Lonnie Walker survived the trade deadline, that's crazy.

 

[Regular_P]

Can't believe Lonnie Walker survived the trade deadline, that's crazy.

He's shooting 37% from three on the second most attempts on the team.

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

It just took time for the right moves to come together Rushing into that Hield/Turner deal wasnt it
