  1. How about trying get Brandon Ingram back? Keep DLo – trade Rui, 2 firsts, Gabe, JHS and Hayes or Wood.

  2. Yeah Vando name hasn’t come up but I think we still need him. He just needs to work on parts of his game.

  3. I been saying for a while a dlo opt in makes most sense if hes not leaving. No way lakers should give him a new deal, n if he cant get the money on open market he'll have to opt in. He just made sure murrary was of the board beforehand

  4. Coach JJ new system
    Knecht 4 will make a impact
    Vando coming back healthy
    Gabe coming back healthy
    Rui putting in work this season (per IG)
    AR will improve as a defender

    Only thing Lakers should do is pickup a Center. Then reevaluate the team near the trade deadline.

    IN ROB WE TRUST

  5. Garland would be a terrible idea. He’s a more expensive dlo basically. You’ll need to hide him on defense as well. Don’t trade for ANY player that is a liability on defense. That has to be a rule.

  6. DLO + JHS + Maxwell Lewis (or one of the minimum guys) for Kuzma… money works… send them a pick as well 👌🏽

  7. Trade DLo for whatever you can get for him. He is a huge defensive liability and disappears when you need him most. And as for fans who say “give him a chance” … they have … two years in a row and he did exactly what Minnesota fans told us he would do … disappear in the playoffs when you need him most. He plays zero defense.

    As for people saying trade AR. AR showed who he is on the Olympic stage. He is better than DLo on defense and offense. He is a better distributor of the ball.

    Trade DLo! We still need a big!

  8. The Lakers are not going to trade D'Lo. He has some skills set that is of good value. He broke Van Axel's record of most 3's in a season that stood for many years. Not even Kobe Bryant broke that record.

  9. Vando has that Dawg in him. He is critical to this team imo. We need a high energy wing who brings it every night. Vando elevates the teams efforts when he's on the floor.

  10. So what about D~Lo he will help during the season so your stars can rest more have him come off the bench in the playoffs because your stars are fresh

  11. I’m so glad Dlo opt in and hope he stays. What really are u going to get in the market that’s better or a realistically upgrade over Dlo. Ppl really acting like Dlo wasn’t the 3rd best player and relying on Reaves and even Sexton to pick up the slack and that would be asking for failure at its finest
