The Lakers have made big time changes since the previous trade deadline, leading up to the latest offseason moves. Looking at the rest of the NBA landscape now, how do you rate what the Lake Show has accomplished?

A. Don’t care about everyone else, Lakers made the best moves for themselves for now and the future.

I’m worried about their Big man depth. I don’t trust Hayes to take that leap and I don’t trust Wood to not be a locker room problem. I wouldn’t be surprised if we trade wood along with other players to give AD a legit back up.
Looking at this esp with the Dame Trade, really makes me hate Beas signing with the Bucks. Don’t confuse that with “i wanted Beas to stay.” Nah, it didn’t work for us. But that Bucks team is ugly now.
Went from 13th seed to the WCF. How is that anything less than an A?
Man I cant wait to see how wood fits with lebron and AD. Stretch 5s always look great here but we’ve never had one with enough 3 point volume. Marc gasol shot like 1.5 a game and it still felt impactful at the time 😂
The only complaint I have is the Mo Bamba trade. Really walked out for nothing after we gave up Pat Bev and a second. Not that those are major assets, but hey, could’ve used them somewhere else. I’m not losing any sleep over that though.
EDIT: Typo
I will give my favorite basketball terrorist his flowers. Rob cooked. Analysts have us a tier below the contenders but I’m sure this squad will shut them up
Most stacked bench built for lebron. Max Christie breakout party incoming. If this bench can get brons min down to 35~ it would be a huge W.
I’d give them an A-. Would’ve just liked to see D Lo gone
A big fat L.
JK. This is by far a MUCH better start than last year. Now we won’t be a 2-10 starting record team and we look scary! We are in the top 5 for teams likely to get a chip this year! We set
A. They got depth and wings and have size. I really like this roster but don’t know what it’ll be like till the season starts
I’m gonna miss ds
I’ll miss Dennis
Was there any scenario where it made sense to keep walker, now that we know who rob had his eyes on to acquire? I absolutely loved watching walker play last year.
I really hoped we could unlock Mo Bamba’s potential.
Can’t rate anything yet. Really need to see if Wood will buy into Hams defense. That’s so big, that it could be difference between a championship, and not making it to finals.
Dlo could also surprise with a big year. He’s basically playing for a bigger contract. 17m is probably below his market value if not for the Denver debacle. He was awful in that series.
If they buy in, and show some consistent defense, we might have something special.
Just getting rid of Westbrick was good enough for me. The rest was icing on the cake.
The bench will be stacked if they will produce
