Still have to give up Hachimura and Dlo plus picks and filler, but I think we can keep Reaves with an offer like this. Derozan makes Hachimura redundant as they’re both midrange shot makers with bad defense. Caruso fixed the backcourt defense.
I want these two with Reaves off the bench.

A starting lineup of AR, Caruso, Derozan, LBJ, and AD. I honestly don’t know how that plays out.

Hell no to Derozan. He’s old, can’t play defense, can’t shoot the three, and is a playoff choker. We would get worse by bringing him to this team. Rather keep Rui and D’lo.
POA defense is covered by Cam, Vando and Vincent. It’s just all 3 are out right now. I like Caruso but he does not fit our needs.
Derozan is garbage.
WordsAreSomething
Derozan would be so bad on our team
KingNephew
Would be sad to see Rui go but this is the most likely “big trade” if one happens imo.
I can see the Lakers convincing themselves that DeRozan is the best they can get as a workhorse scorer/ballhandler.

Lakers should be keen on firing Ham.
crimsonsentinel
We don’t have a personnel problem. We have an injury and coaching problem.
lolxddavid
Opponents are gonna have 5 players in the paint against us lmao

I refuse to believe the DeRozan thing. I get it he still is a star and the hope is he can hold the game down when lebron sits. But trading better shooter for him is just plain dumb.

We are making clippers 2.0 huh
pinktwhite
Derozan off the bench would be cool but I want more outside shooting. Give us Coby White and Caruso
LeBrons7thRing
If this is true how dumb can they be wanting DeRozan over LaVine?? People talk about a possible LaVine trade being a “Westbrook 2.0 deal” but this deal right here would be a repeat of it
Offensive fit would be bad, can’t space the floor, can’t play off the ball and be able to shoot C & S 3’s. Same problems as Westbrook although DeRozan’s a better scorer. If they’re looking at Chicago the only guy they should be looking at is LaVine

Caruso is good, lavine n Caruso is great ( yes I’d prefer other max players but if none are available it’s ok) , derozan means team gm n fo have brain worms.

DeMars a UFA in 24… that might be lakers motive.

There’s better trades… except a healthy roster needs to be observed on the court first.

If we get Defrozen I’m turning to a flipper fan

I just need the bald mamba back on this team, don’t need inefficient checkers.

I wish I could trust Buha reports.

Let’s see Cam/Van on the floor together
I’m liking it

NOOOOOOO god no. If you watch the bulls Demar is literally the reason why they’re so bad. He slows the game down so much and we don’t have the size to play slow.
asianboy89
Where the fuq is Vincent and vando can they hurry up jeezus

Miss those bald mamba to LB alley oops.
WideCoconut2230
LBJ would totally be on board with Caruso.
Infinite_Cap_853
Would rather go after Jevon Carter, Caruso, Drummond or Patrick Williams.
They all bring something that we need right now, while being much cheaper to trade for.
Wise_Ad_112
Please give us Caruso. I need to see AR and Caruso with Lebron on the court at the same time
gm4dm101
I’d like to see a healthy Lakers team before making moves since we are still in November.

If Ham gives Rui 25 plus minutes and he disappoints when he comes back I’m fine with this. Give Rui the minutes and a 20 game window and then make a decision from there.
