A CENTER.
FIRST FROM FREEDOM'S FRONTIER AND SECOND TO NONE!! 2024 LAKERS 83-0 MNBA CHAMPIONS!!! 🏀🏆💥
Cousin
Hodges
Did we use #14?
@JSM24, do you know the reason why they don't try to get Dwight Howard?
Love to see someone who cares about the Lakers this much. You're always straight cookin no matter what.
I would put D'moi Hodge trough the roster and try to bring Dwight Howard back
Center at 14 Tristan Thompson bc he is NBA champion, he wants to be here. He will sign the vet min. But above all he has automatic great chemistry with Bron. Chem with AD. AD wants nothing to do with Christian Wood. Caselton and Dmoi are signed to 2 way. Leave them the fuck alone. They are going no wear. They are nowhere close yet to NBA Level to pursue 18. Let them grow. Need to shut the door. That said 15 be Rudy Gay or Markief Morris
I hope Colin gets that 15th roster spot and you can get woods but Im more looking into a PF/C who's like wood, or frank and I like the idea of getting boogie cousins but we will see.
Lebron is the sf bro not the pf
If the Christian Wood plan backfired, why not Tristan Thompson? The way he was defending against Jokic in the WCF surprised us. He deserves a second chance. As for the 15th spot, I would say Hodge since, like you said, he is similar to KCP.
for the fifteenth spot get Wenyan Gabriel.
Castleton should not be in any conversation regarding our final big man spot.
you leave the final spot open and tell all the players on the roster to ball they ass off and earn the spot
don't fill it unless it's an obvious signing
JSM, what are thoughts about the Sacremto G League Center? He seems a solid option
i prefer castleton if the lakers don't get wood. high IQ guy and a good passer. just needs to bulk a bit.
Lamar Stevens and Bismack
Cole swider should give up his spot to Alex Fudge
Another big, Colin Castleton🎉🎉🎉
Hodge and McGee 🤔
I say hodge is like a mix of Gary Payton and Ray Allen.
So is dY birx starting in Shanghai? Just asking for a friend 💜💛 pew pew ⛳
BRING BACK BOOGIE. Give him the chance he didn’t get to prove
if they're serious about playing a big next to AD they should take a big with both spots or sign a big and give Castleton some time. or just leave that last spot open for flexibility
Ngl what happened to the D Cousins rumors
Either Christian wood (only) and if not affordable maybe Bismack and Boban Marjonvic
The reason why I focused more on big men was bc AD could have many injuries that can impact possibly the entire season but if we don’t need that much big man, then maybe one of The two of Boban and bismack and Kelly Oubre Jr
We have them in two way contract, why rush to include them to the roster? If DMoi is really good then we could move him later on. The player we should target is Kelly Oubre. He can provide depth to our SG position. He is a better player than Cam Reddish. He can also be our primary defender against Murray and Booker. If i'm Ham, i will use Reaves as point guard in crucial stretch of the game since DLo is a liability on defense. A closing line up of Reaves, Oubre, Lebron, Rui and AD is promising. I can ser the Lakers trading DLo anyway at the trade deadline. For center i don't mind bringing Dwight. We lose to Denver not because of Jokic, it's because we couldn't stop Murray, KCP and Brown.
Castleton or Hodge on a non guaranteed deal means they might be shipped out if the right trade / buyout target emerges.
I don’t like the idea of having to make a roster spot and neither does Rob historically.
I like Option 3. They might not need much but give them abit of time to develop. If it’s clear we need one in the post season then convert one after the buyout market closes.
This is depended on who they sign for the 14th. If the 14th is Wood, a respectable vet will be the option for the 15th. If the 14th is anyone vet big, I would like to sign either Hodge or Castleton and get Fudge or/and anyone they see fit on a 2-way. I saw rumors by AK and BK also that the Lakers may not sign Swider back on a 2-way. And lastly if the 14th is a young big, I like to get a vet big for the 15th for insurance for that 14th spot big.
Sign morris
Castleton – 2way
Hodge – 14th roster spot
T. Thompson – non-guaranteed
Sign wood and hold the 15th spot in case of the buyout market, injuries, or one of the two way guys.
Wood has a soft defense, AD is effective at 4 (if they will play him at 4) with a defensive minded player at 5, or maybe a player that willing to rebound, we all know that lakers were not good at rebounding without ad at the rim
For real, we need to get javale. A 7ft vet center with championship experience is EXACTLY what we need. He'd only play against other teams bench units so his athleticism is fine. And he would be the perfect mentor for hayes. Give him the 15th spot. if we can't get christian wood then promote castleon to the 14th spot and mcgee can mentor him too. That is a championship recipe. Hodge is dope but we already have enough gaurds. We need bigs.
I like Hodge but we’re already guard heavy signing him would be redundant…Castleton is fun to watch at times but he isn’t NBA ready plus he doesn’t bring anything different to the table other than passing…I’d still give the final roster spot to Swider…the only thing this team is missing is a 3 point specialist plus he’s 6’9 220 and can play at both the 3 & 4…his defense want be that big of an issue if he’s on the floor with the right ppl…if Malik Beasley got PT Cole can get PT
I would give that 15th spot to Hodge cuz that fool can shoot with confidence
We need Christan Wood 😬😬
Honestly i say lets sign hodge! Move prince is more of a 4 to me! But also hodge is a 3 pt sniper! I like that guy obut i dont want wood i want Castleton AD needs to stfu and play the 5
