Would have preferred Wille Cauley Stein who has been playing in the g league
Smart move!
tt is a good, 6-9 athletic cf. he is making more rebounds, offensive an defensive, expereinced in clevelndd 2016, he knows lebron very well. and it makes him not new in terms of chemistry.
Tristan, can help lakers in case davis rest. tristan can help lebron, rui, with dlo, reaves and once dlo rest, there is either dennis and or harrison 6-4 athletic guard and defender
Dennis Schroder is injured, all of the perimeter defense gone from the guard group.
Thompson was small like gabriel so many big center available maybe its lebron choice.
Should have picked up Whiteside….
Can you dig it! Shaq is back, The Lakers certainly needed another rebounder and defense player and exactly what they got. Great pick-ups, and what a turn-around from starting 2-10. 👏
Seriously
Let Ad play the 4 and Put TT at the 5 please
BEST IDEA IS TO TRADE DARVIN HAM FOR BENCH PLAYER😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Lets get it done 1 step at a time. 💜💛🏆 #LakersNation
Should've signed D12 and Melo!!!
Im a Lebron fan, but i think this was a bad choice possibly influenced by his association with Tristan. I think Hassan Whiteside would have been a much better choice, considering that hes still active currently playing in the PR league. Hope Tristan proves me 100% wrong.
The Lakers have a slight case of The Agony Of DaFEET 😮😳!
Do not understand it on the post when you had huff who is younger and you have mo. I hope this works are post is weak when AD goes out. It's playoffs now so no time to mess up. Thompson there maybe a good workout and lebron.
signing tristan thompson was so left field. nobody saw that coming. Tbh i had no idea who shaq harrison but hope he can do some cooking for the lakers
I don’t know why everybody keeps saying TT is big. He’s actually very small as a centre. Even when he was in his prime, he was short.
We finally reassembled a balanced & talented roster since trading away all our young'nz for A.D..
We'd gotten too old, too limited in talent, youth & player fits, and far too prohibited by the cap AND draft capital; not forgetting letting go of Caruso to keep THT.
Rob has gotten his 💩 together; found his footing in the bad situation he made worse acquiring Westbrook. It never made sense to bring in a ball-dominant PG who's not going to have the ball until LeBron sits or is out with injury…at over $40mil. No one cared about that, the turnovers, limited perimeter shooting, which is anti-LeBron, and we had to watch the obvious show up & show out in real time.😂
Solid 2-for-1 transactions to finalize the playoff roster.
Damn no boogie
Virtual Shaq is signed……..
Eh probably won't play much
What happened to Dennis?
Horrible move!
A little bit late
Shaq Harrison will be such a big piece for us on the defensive end! Also Tristan Thompson will be a great backup for rebounding
When is mo Bamba coming back?
They should have signed serge ibaka or Hassan whiteside
you all stupid if you think bamba is better than thompson.bamba is too soft.
good move
Chloe to the laker girls.
I hope the Lakers can make some noise in the playoffs and win some series and get back to their winning ways again. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Why did they signed Tristan Thompson? he’s been washed since 2018 another undersized center that can’t rebound or defend no more and no offensive skills whatsoever
Don't know how much these two will play if the Lakers go deep in the playoffs, but moves that had to be made just in case. I have banged on Pelinka all year about most of the moves he has made, but gotta hand it to the guy for what he did at the trade deadline. Just think if we had this roster from the jump. Wouldn't be surprised if the Miami Heat go hard after DLo this off season. Can't think of another team that would. I hope he comes back next year. Him and Reaves make a good pair in the back court.
Wasn’t huff available? He’s leading the g league right now. Tristan can’t run anymore.
Hahaha,the Lakers have added more players then all the other teams combined
I think Thomas should be #2 for the 5 and MO bamma #3
AD needed this.. The lakers wouldn't risk him to get injured again at the center.. AD is better at 4.
I hate the Tristan Kardashian signing I would've rather have Whiteside
The Lakers front office can sign whatever players they feel would help the team in playoffs. However, we know silly coach HAM will not play them. They will warm the bench. Ask Lonnie and Bamba.
I would of signed Melo over shaq
Imagine the lakers win and Tristan gets a ring for literally not doing anything just practicing with the team 😂
Just wondering, why not J Huff? Younger legs, longer reach, and outside shot 🤔
Granted, no experience but still…
Great low key move #Legendary potential #bigmaintwosidez
So what happened to the Dwight Howard signing… he's actively playing Tristan isn't
TT will be a Huge pick up for the lakers to help & guide AD under the basket & he knows how to dominate the paint & with playoff experience.. Mo Bamba & Gabriel are good but they are thin.. Thompson Brings toughness, wide body & can seal opponent under the basket.. Even if Ham will use him or not he can contribute as a locker room guy that can help the lakers build more chemistry..
Luv the signing Thompson is a dog and he never get hurt.
Wasn’t Jay Huff a good player. Lakers let him sign with Wizards with a two way contract?
Should have gotten cousins he already played with AD and was a tough match up when there both on the floor. Also he brings toughness
