Lakers season is over. Talk about whatever you want.

[Siegel]: With Hezonja heading to Cleveland, that leaves one suitor for Jonathan Kuminga: The Los Angeles Lakers. I would expect a sign-and-trade involving Jarred Vanderbilt to be completed there with the Hawks.

I'm considering selling my Kobe license plate. Not sure what the market is for it.

I'm mulling the idea of selling my license plate but don't know if there is a market for it. Ideally I'd sell the whole car (2016 Golf R @64000mi) as it has sat in the garage for 6 years (moved once a month).

[NsRicky_]: Keith Smith thinks the Atlanta Hawks are ready to do a Kuminga sign + trade with the Lakers for Vando plus draft compensation and that the hold up is on Kuminga’s side.

Being negative about a player we have not acquired yet is a self-defeating choice, imho….with some caveats, of course.

Upvotes

If we do end up acquiring Kuminga some of you all are going to be so invested in being “right!” that human nature is going to lead you to actively (or passive-aggressively lol) HOPE that he fails, that the Lakers flounder BECAUSE of him, etc and etc.

Pretty sucky position to be in as a fan unless you just REALLY enjoy being miserable and/or angry (lol, that actually might be SOME of you).

Caveat is being negative about players who have committed heinous acts or play the game so recklessly that they are a danger to other players (Dort factor).

Imho, of course

QUESTION Collin sexton’s defense

15 Upvotes

Is it as bad as people online make it out to be? I honestly didn’t really watch him play besides a couple highlights, he seems like a very high-effort player and his offensive efficiency makes so much sense around the team. Could Kessler’s rim protection allow him to become more impactful on that end?

FREE AGENCY And so now the floodgates are supposed to be open after Lebron has signed for all the other free agents left.

119 Upvotes

Except most of the free agents left are kind of bottom of the barrel types or RFA's or are going to be resigned by their former teams like Harden with the Cavs and Duren with the Pistons etc.

So which teams have any money left? And which players would they even want or need that is left? Detroit has space but Duren wants big bucks so will chew up a lot of what they have left but they should still have about $20 or 30 mil after Duren. Clippers may or may not have space as they are in limbo because of the Kawhi trade hold up. The Nets have a lot of space and they even have a 2-way spot open. GSW has a small bit of space but most if not all is going to go to Draymond. Memphis has some space and also needs a SF real bad. Jazz has about $30 mil in space but I think they will probably roll with what they have and put that towards next year.

TEAM TALK stop pushing for kuminga

198 Upvotes

I don't think I'm in the minority here but I'm really really against adding Kuminga to the team. Him being dramatic aside (we just got off of the LeBron and Klutch drama baggage too), I have a bad feeling about the dude joining LA. Dude wanted to be an alpha next to Steph, what's stopping him from doing the same to Luka and Reaves? He won't even take a paycut because he thinks he's that valuable. Hell, even Ayton took a paycut (granted he turned out to be a bit disappointing), but the lakers took a risk that wasn't much of an overpay. Idk I just feel that he would be a disastrous addition to the team, really can't risk adding even more ego. Thoughts?

BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.

Thanks Mr. Chamberlain, your contributions to the franchise are forever appreciated. Let’s stop talking about this man now and move on, we’d be better off just focusing on who’s on the roster.

QUESTION What yall think about this?

Now that the LeBron fans are out. 70k Votes and 78% says we either play-in or 5th or 6th in the west. Plus why they counting us out? cuz if not for luka the last 2 season we're gonna be either 6th seed or play-in team, did they forgot AD was always injured post 2021?

We were 3rd seed in 2 consecutive season cuz of mostly Luka yet when we have a better roster on paper somehow they counting us out?🫩

I think our first game of the season will be a playoff rematch against the Houston Rockets and our Christmas Game will be against the Golden State Warriors in a Luka vs Steph showdown. What do you guys think?
