Y’all bum ass mafukkas don’t deserve a title: 2022 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers off-season thread

[Left.A1]

TJ Warren may be another good gamble … wonder what they do at center ..Jones feels more like a backup

 

[VegasCAC]

The Lakers prioritized two way athletic wings, and got them

Now gotta somehow get Kyrie and add some ring-chasing vets and its looking like a solid squad again

Hell blow up and we’ll have to spend $10 mil a year when we could have locked him up longer and cheaper

Need to sabotage his rookie year so he is forced to take the min again

 

[KillerB88]

Assuming they flip Westbrook for Brogdon/Hield or Rozier//Hayward


Brogdon
Hield
O'neil
Simmons
AD



or

Rozier
Hayward
Oneil
Simmons
AD



Both are playoff teams

he's probably getting traded to BK with Talen and Russ' contract tbh. there's a method to this madness. one thing Rob knows is the cap. remember 2 years ago when they clowned rob saying he didn't know the cap and wouldn't have enough to sign Kawhi and then he traded bum ass wagner to the wizards. he's a questionable gm at this point but as a former agent he knows how to manuver cap space

 

[KingBeez]

it's a great deal for one year. he's worth more than that and have you seen the MLE options? he gives us shooting

Another W

Lonnie has potential as a high scorer, but he’s not a good shooter from what I remember. Lakers need efficient shooting, not scorers, that’s what did them in last year.

Lonnie had decent splits his first two years when shooting 1 3pt a game, but when he went to 5 a game, he started shooting in the very low 30%

I think the Lakers should’ve used the MLE on a wing

 

[Osmosis]

Way too many guards: Russ, Reaves, Nunn, THT, Walker, Troy Brown.

If possible, the TMLE would have been better served on divincenzo, Gary Harris, or Warren. A trade has to be on the horizon.

Can walker defend?

I would have liked Dante and Wes Matthews but Lonnie Walker is not bad on the MLE

 

[Morethan1]

In would have liked Dante and Wes Matthews but Lonnie Walker is not bad on the MLE

He's ass on defense

And Tony is not a nba player

 

[Sinnerman]

Unless we're trading THT and Nunn, using the MLE on Lonnie is dumb

You might be right I now that familiar with him.


But the Wing market seems to be trash.

 

[KingBeez]

Can walker defend?

When he was drafted, people thought he could become a potential 3&D guy, but honestly he can’t based off eye test and analytics

 

[KingBeez]

This team how it’s currently built isn’t doing anything next year

Lonnie sucks on D, and now you have way too many guards who all play similar basketball that’s not aligned with winning

Not to mention, the second unit is they’re gonna lose any lead that the first unit gives them
