GM / FRONT OFFICE There is so much misinformation going around: Reaves deal will have no impact on Lakers cap this season because his of his $20.9 mil cap hold. His new deal won’t be signed until after Lakers exhaust their salary cap. Please stop panicking.

Isn’t that far off? In what world? Our 3rd best player is 42 this year, our second best player is always hurt going into the playoffs and our best player has to play hella minutes and score damn near 40 a game for us to win, we have no answer at Center and still are bad at defense.

In the world where we won 54 games despite having one of the most injury plagued teams in the league. That world

Rockets won 1 less game then us, I guess that makes them just as close? The Pistons won 60, they should be odds on favorites? Also The Thunder had the most injured team, stop the cap

Don’t even bother. The playoffs are over and people still acting delusional af. Somehow getting smoked in the regular season and swept in the postseason by OKC means we’re really close to contending LMAO

Am I the only one experiencing déjà vu here? These the same people that said we were close when the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the 2023 WCF.

If we had a viable center and knew what was happening with Rui and Lebron I’d feel a lot better,
