  1. no to all these score first guards. If we can pull it off Trade D-Lo for Jonathan Issac. Versatile defender that can knock down the 3 and on a non-guaranteed contract!

  2. At this pace we will be lucky to make the playoffs…all of these guys are trash that’s why they are available! Trade DLo & Reaves plus the picks and get a STAR Dr Buss would agree it’s LA we don’t need a bunch of role players geesh !

  3. Keep D Lo but he does NOT deserve a max contract. Look at the wolves. They got rid of D Lo and went from the WORST offensive team to the BEST.

  4. Serviceable C
    Serviceable SF
    Serviceable PG
    AD PF
    AR SG

    Bron 6th man less wear and tear during regular season.

    Then need 2 more bench players depends on trades and assets left

    Centers: Claxton, Tillman, Drummond as back up

    SF/ PG thru free agency or draft

    If they retain DLo he can't start with AR bad combo for defense

    Honestly with a new coach that can utilize the talent on the Lakers would be better off with FA signings to tweak weaknesses.

    C Back up or AD by matchup

    AD at PF/C dictated by matchup

    Bron PF/ 6th man PF when Ad Starts

    SF A pickup of young 2 way player thru 1 FA 2 Draft 3 trade.

    SG need a better option than AR if Dlo returns

    PG Dlo if retained

    Bench has Rui, AR, Bron if not
    starting at PF, backup C, Vanderbilt Starter at the 3 possibly, Christie

    Could consider Christie as starting SG with a return of Dlo

    With a new coach who can use players in the best roles for the situation of the matchup Lakers can be a 50 win team as is.

    Need some on the roster to step up for next year by futher developing for the younger guys on the team

  5. Unless the Lakers are dealing AR/Christie, then I don't believe getting another 2 guard is beneficial. That just creates glut at that position. Especially if we really want to give Max real minutes. Which I believe he should get. The Lakers should focus on shoring up the PG (if DLo leaves), the SF spot (if Prince/Reddish leave), and the C spot (to give proper support to AD).

  6. I don’t understand the DLO hate here. Half the video are sugestions to replace our 3rd best offensive option by a bench player. DLO was 3rd best player on the team, most of the year outside playoff matchup with Denver (twice).
