Lakers Off-Season Thread

Money aside, whomever claimed that Sacre is as good as Mosgov needs to share his stash.

Laker fans have seen enough of Sacre to know that he is a good guy, good teammate, overzealous cheerleader, and tries hard on the court. He just lacks too much of the talent part of the equation. He doesn't really belong on a NBA roster.

The bold is why I liked him on the end of the bench as that 13th-15th guy. But yeah, he really does lack in the talent department.

Well, we all knew he was done when the Lakers signed Mosgov, kept Black, and drafted Zubac. Sacre could probably play football as big as he is. He make a great DE or TE.

Why?

Why?

Maybe in the years he's been out of the league, he forgot he was a huge bust and actually learned how to play NBA basketball. That's the best I've got

signed to a 1 year $8 mill deal. If you have not seen him play in the Olympics he has been balling.

Haven't gotten to see much of the Olympics. It's only 1 year. So no prob. He'll either show he's ready and be re-signed, or he'll show he's not and he won't be back.

Looks like Xavier Henry has returned. He was one of 13 FAs who tried out for the Lakers in a recent minicamp.

I don't think this official just yet. I've also seen he's signing for a vet minimum deal. I saw somewhere that the vet minimum is close to around 8mil Chinese Yuan. Regardless, did not see this coming.

It is interesting that they held this FA minicamp. If they are signing Yi, they are at 15 players. More writing on the wall that Young is gone?

Gotta try to hold on to that Chinese fan base post Kobe.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Why?

The have to spend the cap money anyway. Might as well sign a player rather than distribute it amongst the players.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Ingram finally signed.

I know it was all to do with the cap but part of me was a little worried.

LA has announced Kobe Bryant day.

The NBA forum didn't appreciate me posting it too much.

ugh. lucky it's early...

Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle will be out of commission for a few weeks this offseason after lacerating the webbing on his right hand. He had seven stitches, the Lakers said Tuesday, and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Randle had a terrific rebounding season but struggled on both ends of the floor last year -- as every single Laker did. This is a key season for him, so he needs to be in a good place going into camp. Luckily, with more than four weeks before training camp, there's plenty of time for him to get back into a shooting rhythm and heal completely before preseason really begins.

Also, tearing the webbing on your hands sounds really painful, especially with seven stitches.

Fortunately he's left-handed and it's probably not a serious injury. He'll be ready opening day.

Should be a interesting season to see how Luke gets this new roster to play well. Every article I have read indicates pretty much that people want to play for Luke. Shoot, Jason Terry nearly begged Luke to sign him before Terry signed with Milwaukee. This is a good sign that is returning to the Lakers.

We all know that the Swag's days are numbered. It is just a matter of time before he is gonso for good.

sooner the better imo...

Seems like a whimsical interest and potential signing especially because we are filled up in our front court. I suppose the more the merrier.
