The Lakers 2024 Offseason Thread

Yea, everybody knows that DJ, except possibly Shopson. I mean you even know what a chocolate lager is (I believe is was a Yuengling you were drinking for a while). If anybody would know what a good beer is, it would be YOU!!

Basketballreference has Ingram under contract next season at 36 mill.

 

[Retroram52]

According to alot of places including HoopsHype, the Pels are aggressively intending to move BI because they think he is not a good fit with Williamson and they don't want to pay him the next scheduled contract payment. The W's have some interest because they need a forward of BI's stature to provide help for Green. But we shall see how this plays out.

The Warriors are capped out. Not sure what they could trade.

Chicago has some interest but I think what will happen is nobody wants that big-ass contract and the Pels will have to rescind their "aggressiveness"!

I assume it would be Wiggins + filler? Wiggins and Payton would almost work if he opts into his player option. Warriors can't take on any salary via trade since they're over the 2nd apron.

Well then, the pundits who write that the Warriors are one destination for BI are full of poo!!

Here is an updated version of this story. Looks like the original and it is on yahoo which should tell you everything about the validity of it.

Pelicans reportedly will "aggressively" try to trade Brandon Ingram, hesitant to extend him

There have been fit concerns with Zion Williamson and Ingram.

Well according to Mark Stein, these are the teams now interested in BI.

Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, and Orlando are the teams considered likely to be interested, according to Stein.

In order of preference...

1-Borrego
2-Cassell
3-Redick

Borrego led Charlotte to 43 wins a few seasons ago.....think about that for a minute.

Plus, he has experience. Not a great trio to select from but he would have the best chance of having success IMO.

 

[DJ]

1-Philly has nothing to trade for him.

2-Perfect on the Cavs since they need a SF.

3-The Hawks is interesting but they have Hunter. Probably package him in a trade for Ingram.

4-The Magic need a legit PG.

Bron was at the Celtics vs Cavs game last night and now there is speculation he may go back to Cleveland....

SMH

Not happening. He also could've been leaning on Mitchell a bit to push his way West...

 

[shopson67]

Apparently the Lakers are using Coach K as an unofficial advisor to aid with their coaching search. Most likely his impact is providing more background on Redick.

 

[Retroram52]

Sam Cassell is an interesting addition. I am with DJ on this one. Borrego is probably the guy!

 

[Retroram52]

James back to Cleveland would be a good fit and maybe get them over the hump to a ring. Speculation has it that the reason James is considering Cleveland is the Lakers are not real keen on drafting Brony with their Second Rounder this year despite what they are saying in public

Here is this clown, still pushing this trade proposal of BI to the Warriors when the Warriors don't have any cap space to do this deal. I think some people are just bored.

Trade proposal sends Brandon Ingram to Warriors

The proposed trade would see the Golden State Warriors swap Chris Paul and Moses Moody for Brandon Ingram.
