38% from 3 thats scary AF…weve seen this movie to many time they shine in that jersey…then they pull up tha weight an expectation of this PURPLE N GOLD they loose all self an game end up as ah innocent bystander…twin tower action wit 2 big offensively hit'N…might be nice…yea last spot make it count ROB….✌️
If we are going to take a flyer on a head case, I think it should be someone that can check the joker, Dwight Howard or Demarcus Cousins Both have the speed/strength to put a body on him and push him off his favorite spots.There not going to stop him or shut him down, but they will free AD up to play power forward and roam defensively. Either one would be fine for the vet's minimum as they will spend most of their time on the bench.
Meyers Leonard is the best fit . He knows his role and he is a stretch 5. But woods would be insurance for AD who will be hurt.
I’m surprised him
And oubre are not signed. They should fire their agents .
I wonder why Wood would want to come to the Lakers at a vet min while competing with AD, Hayes, Lebron, Rui, Vando even Prince for minutes in the front line?…..I wud also add Colin Castleton to the above list….
and Given his defensive liability why wud Ham guarantee him mins anyway….??
I don't think this assessment by the Lakers is correct….infact I believe this is just smoke screen from inside Laker FO ……Dan is getting bad Intel…or maybe he's just the media outlet for what the Lakers want out there…projecting an important role with Lakers for all backup centers out there waiting on the Dame trade….
Wood is the perfect offensive arsenal in the 5 position since AD tends to get injury but let's hope the off season rest gives AD more strength and better condition come next season🎉
Whats the hold up?!
well dude can play,need some adjustment in the lineup though
How would they have minutes for all these guys. Lebron would have to play the sf exclusively he and vanderbilt and prince, but then you have rui, Ad, jaxson hayes, and you would have wood. Besides AD, Who starts who comes off the bench.
The Lakers need to trade D'Angelo Russell and a number 1 to Chicago for exactly Levine or DeRozan and sign Dwight Howard magee or cousins let's move on😊
A no defense playing twig with locker room issues is gonna somehow slow down Jokic?? Yeah right!!! Stop with the obsession over this guy lakers nation. Christin Wood is not the answer!
I'm a Celtics fan been one for sixty years go green
If he doesn't then the Lakers could look at Willy Hernangomez, he would be a big body and he can rebound and defend the post which is something the Lakers will need when they face Denver.
Wood can be sub for lbj for lbj load management
Lakers should trade D Lo when he is tradeable with the Jazz. The Jazz is interested in D Lo, Lakers aquire Kelly Olynyk and Colin Sexton and the Jazz aquire D Lo we get a combo guard who is coming off an injury but Sexton has a huge upside and also Olynyk the Lakers get that other Big that can stretch the floor and can hold his own on defense. That would be a game Changer trade 💯 💜💛
Bring back Howard
Getting Wood is not going to happen. The Lakers would prefer to have a big who can score and defend. Wood is not that type of player. He will be a defensive liability. This is not to mention that getting Wood is expensive for the Lakers. He is not worth the money he wants to be paid. It would be better for Rob Pelinka to get instead Dwight Howard or Boogie Cousins for the minimum
Lakers need paint defense
Great💣
Yes. They are especially if he has CHIP desires.
Christian Wood is no different than DeAngelo Russell both been on multiple teams and neither can play defense.
