The Los Angeles Lakers 2023-2024 NBA season

[Retroram52]

Lakers had their first preseason game against the Dubs. Got beat. The 2033-2024 Lakers season is underway with 6 preseason games with all of the re-upds and the new faces!!

Ready.

The Lakers have somebody playing in preseason with the name A Fudge....

LOL.

2-way player out of Florida, athletic wing. Was a teammate of Castleton in college. I doubt we see any of him when the games start counting; he's a G-league developmental guy.

Hodge is the 2-way player I like most. Aggressive defender and 3 point shooter, step up overall from Swider IMO.

Yeah, end result doesn't mean much. No Lebron or Austin in game 1, and mostly depth guys playing in the second half. Warriors played Kuminga a a ton in that game, even late when the Lakers had 3rd stringers and 2-way players out there. Not sure what they're trying to prove with that lol.

A good look at the new guys though and who to keep and who send down.

Great to see DLo playing well and shooting the lights out, no hangover apparent from the conference finals.

Looking like Ham wants to shoot 50-plus treys a game this coming season.

If they're going in, keep shooting lol.

 

[Retroram52]

Yeah like Reaves and Cam Thomas did the other night! Talk about a Hockey shootout!!

We beat Brooklyn in a no-D game. Lakers are 1 and 1.

He’s a really interesting player

He’s just really old For a rookie

Guys like that have poor track records but there’s always room for exceptions

If the dude was a normal aged senior he’d have gone in round 1

Swider was 24 too, so still a step up IMO.

The Lakers beat the Queen's Wednesday and Gabe Vincent, D-Rus, and T-Prince played very well. Lakers didn't have alot of starters playing so it was a good win. Hachimura looked good as well.

Yep, only starter to play was DLo (who again looked good). Good to see a better performance out of Prince.

Prince is a good 8th/9th man on a contender

He’s been pretty replacement level but his size makes him workable and a little switchable

Really liked our role player additions.

Me too DJ!! I really like what Pelinka did this off-season and the Lakers are a deeper more versatile team because of it!

Much more optimistic heading into this season than I was last season.

LOL.
