2021-2022 17 TIME WORLD CHAMPION Los Angeles Lakers Thread

Any news? I'm glad to see Pippen Jr. with our squad. Christie kinda reminds of Kuz…hopefully he develops into a good shooter.

Next 2 weeks are gonna be amazing or a complete disaster lol

There is reports that Kyrie wants to come to Lakers (even if it's for $6M TMLE) - which I find laughable. Why would he do that lol. But, if he can force Nets to trade him to Lakers before his opt-in deadline (36M contract) - then Lakers are in business. We will see - all rumors for now. It's nothing till it actually happens. They would have replaced Russ with Kai and that's a very good start to the off-season.

Need to get wings who can shoot 35% from 3 and play defense. That's what the Lakers need and a big that can play next to AD.

No doubt. I don't want AD banging on boards anymore. I use to want him to kill this double-double game. I just want him to stay healthy.

Why would Brooklyn take Westbrook . I would let Kyrie go take a 30M pay cut (LOL) before helping him out and taking a complete slug in Westbrook. It just makes zero sense in my opinion for the Nets to make a deal with LA

Maybe KD Misses RW and wants him back?! They were pretty good as team mates.

Nah. KD left him once when Westbrook was actually good. I seriously doubt he wants him back now

I doubt that. Westbrook is an incredibly selfish player.

Opt in

He is sticking by his man KD. Maybe Simmons will actually play and the Nets can be a real contender. As for the Lakers.... not so much

Where did I say Nets will be getting RW?

Anyway - moot point now since Kyrie has said he will finish out his contract with Nets. Nets can trade him wherever they want now though. But, I doubt anyone (other than Lakers - bc of Westbrook) wants to pay 36M to Kyrie.

A trade including Kyrie and Westbrook was never going to happen. It was fool's gold for every Lakers fan

Lakers better be getting that at min. Will probably end up with Clippers lol

We can't even give Russ away. Y'all have fun watching the Lakers next year i'm out unless he gets traded or gets hurt. I've stuck thru some god awful lottery teams and no hope seasons over the past 2 decades but he's a special kind of torture that even I cannot endure

Jeanie buss needs to do something bold and trade LeBron or AD.
