    Yes! We need these two next season & for good

  2. brandoi

    If it’s coming from Woj, it’s coming from Rob. We’re paying up.

  3. suhar97

    The mystery this summer will be who is the 5th guy next to lebron, Austin, ad, and rui…..

  4. donanon3

    I think it’s smart not to announce this actually. Teams that don’t have much to lose knowing this, like the Spurs or Jazz, will throw a poison pill just to make the Lakers pay more.

  5. KingNephew

    Props to the Lakers front office. They pulled pure gold out of thin air with Reaves being undrafted and Rui via Kendrick Nunn/2nds.

  6. CockroachForeign6419

    Good so can y’all shut up about Kyrie and Dame???

  7. ruburdingus

    i think this, plus an off-season trade with a combination of bamba + beasley/2023 1st round pick could get us something on the market. myles turner maybe???

    Jeanie is broke, she’s in tears right now knowing she’ll have to put 5th and 6th loans on her few remaining possessions to afford this

  9. off_white_bkgd

    Lakers are praying he has a shit Game 4 so they can afford him.

    Twitter is saying his Conference Finals stats are HISTORIC. Only MJ, LeBron and Curry have had 3-straight games with 20+, 5+ assists on 65% true shooting.

  10. Nijee302

    That’s good now we need to acquire Big man & some shooters through the Draft or free agency

  11. ZJtheOZ

    These two are the proven keepers.

    Schroeder after that but he does have limitations.

    Dlo is ok but is proven to not be worth a big contract.

    After that, Lakers need a quality big and (still) more shooting. More shooters makes Vando less of a liability.

  12. beasttyme

    Why put this out for the public. Lakers are digging themselves into a hole

  13. Numerous_Ad2168

    I honestly don’t care about anyone else. Just these 2 and our 2 stars. We should sign 2 centers though

  14. LudwigNasche

    This is the way.

    I’d keep Dennis too bargaining a discount and we have a team even if in my mind Dennis is a backup PG.

    Dennis – Reaves – LeBron – Rui – Davis:

    Against Denver

    26min / +33.4 NETRTG / DEFRTG 80.4 / OFFRTG 113.8

    Entire Playoffs

    46min / +31.2 NETRTG / DEFRTG 81.6 / OFFRTG 112.9

    This is our best two way lineup and the key to defeat Denver IMO if our coach wasn’t so stubborn. Vando and Dlo are one dimensional players so we are going 4×5 on offense and on defense (not counting the referees)

  15. adultishgambinoh

    As disappointed as I am in D. Lo, he still a solid regular season player which we need to get into the playoffs. If we have to bring him back just prioritize Rui and Reaves pls

  16. GlassOnion25

    Get these two back and build around them and ad and Lebron and we can run it back next year and be better throughout the year. No 2-10 start this time lol

  17. Ikolkyo

    No brainer, I love Dlo but he gotta go. He let us down big time.

  18. TheLoneliestMonke

    I was hoping they didn’t leak it. I know some fucker of a team is going to throw a poison pill contract on Austin

  19. IdiotCharizard

    Get rid of dangelo, keep those 2 and schroeder. Hunt for a decent defensive big (someone like plumlee), and ofc more shooters.

    Can we hang onto Lonnie?

  20. SweatlordFlyBoi

    I don’t even care if LeBron or AD are on the team. Just keep Austin and Rui.

  21. proteinMeMore

    If lakers loose reeves and Rui after this likely humiliating WCF m, it will be a big turd on top

  22. Prestigious_Value534

    (Maybe unrealistic) Add Dennis and Dillon Brooks for depth. Sign and trade Dlo, Beasley, Vanderbilt and the 2023 and 2029 for James Harden. He don’t wanna stay there, he wants to win a ring and what best place to win it than with the King. Lebron can sway him into playing with us. Harden can still drop 40 on the best teams and can carry when the team needs him to. Plus he’s developed into a point guard, assisting a lot more. We can also try and trade for Bamba for Plumlee (Idk if clippers agree). Sign Cousins for a min.

    Ideally this is what it looks like, our rotation if it happens.

    Starters: Harden, AR, Rui, Lebron, AD

    Bench: Cousins, Plumlee, Brooks and Dennis. Solid 8-9 man rotation for playoffs.

    Can get to the FT line at will: Harden, Bron,AD, AR
    3pt shooters: Harden, AR, Rui, Brooks, Bron.
    Bigs: Plumlee, AD and Cousins.
    Superstars: Harden, Bron and AD
    Pests: Dennis and Brooks
    Defenders: Dennis, Brooks, Bron, AD, Cousins.
    Cousins or Plumlee could start if AD ain’t wanna play as AD.

    For regular season, we have gods like Shaq Harrison, Max, and a few other guys on vet min maybe Lonnie comes back. But yeah.

    A very WIN NOW roster. Everybody very hungry. Whole roster for their first ring. Lebron for his Legacy. AD to prove he’s THE GUY on the Lakers.

    If only Rob Pelinka and Bron can make it happen.
