Whoa we actually got someone we were rumored too
Our biggest acquisition this off-season!
so….who leaves the roster?
This turns an extremely disappointing off season into…. an extremely disappointing off season.
Pelinka finally did something!
Los Angeles Klutch Lakers
We’re so BACK BABY !!! (Actually I’m really happy with this signing, brings back hope for a serious defensive year, 2020 style)
Lakers signed somebody!
If Koloko develops well he could be a useful rotation player for the Lakers. The question is how quickly he can contribute will depend on his health and ability to adapt to the Lakers’ system. Nice singing nonetheless, let’s hope he stays healthy.
As someone that was a bit pessimistic In yesterday’s thread I’m so happy I was wrong. Nice little pickup for us.
Glad at least something happened, not half bad
2 way contract. Bye Castleton?
great move imo
Make fun of the Klutch connection all we want but aside from THT they usually pan out lol.
This deal is likely a training camp invite and very unlikely he is on the opening day roster so dont get your hopes up Lakers fam.
Great news, I’m happy they got him.
So what’s the point of having wood or Hayes now? Possible trade? Regardless 8th seed team I predict maybe 7th. But this is will a tough year to watch.
Clearly they really wanted this guy and expect him to be on the roster if he doesn’t completely shit the bed in training camp/preseason.
It’s also obvious he’s not someone they’ll go into the second apron for, so he’s not just gonna be signed outright.
This means a trade is pretty much guaranteed before the start of the season.
Edit: Nvm it’s a 2 way deal 🙃
Hol up, this guy is good. If he stays healthy, (no blood cot or anything heart related) he good.
We Actually Did Something This Off-season, Finally!
YES
World Health Organization?
Whoa, we actually got a 7 footer who’s not a space cadet like Hayes. Still kinda on the skinnier side but can’t go wrong with shot blocking.
LFG
Can’t we get a guy with no major medical history
Never heard of him
Who will get cut?
Love this signing Koloko a mobile big that has defensive versatility, can rebound and block shots This is a sneaky good move for us.
