He did nothing to improve his value so this makes sense. Hoping for a good, consistent role for him next season. I didn’t forget how good he looked in those early Suns games.

Good, we need as much size as possible and worst case he can be used as offseason trade filler. Also, not bad in his limited minutes.
daftmunt
Showed flashes, injuries were telling in the end. Still has the ability to massively outplay this contract.

Another great thing is now we get his early bird rights. We can extend him midway through next season for up to $11M roughly. Heās a good bench piece to have.

At 3m this is literally zero risk. He is a good bench player.

Stacking the salaries of Vincent, Wood, Hayes, and Reddish gets the Lakers to $18.9 million. Include the 2024 FRP and the Lakers at least have the salary matching for a good center.
Still need to see if Hayes and Reddish opt in.

This is great! His cheap contract for a competent NBA player is a win. To me this makes it easier to move rui for and upgrade and let Wood be your back up 4

If he work on his shooting and strength, this guy can become a player that can help AD
outsidehere
Better show up ready unlike last season. That 3 ball was terrible

Ham turned him into a spot up shooter. He can be our Naz Reid with the right the right coaching.
Phuddy
I honestly thought he had some great moments this past season when used correctly.

I wonder what Reddish will do with his player option, hoping he opts out tbh
r1290
I feel like this is huge, no matter what trade is made, having Max Vando Wood as role players is a solid start and I hope we donāt trade any of those three
NightHawkThoughts
If he doesnāt do anything this year to raise value this might be his last year in the league

Still remember that game against the Suns where he had KD in jail. Could’ve used his rebounding and average-ish defense instead of Rui against the Nuggets

New coach needs to use him the same way the wolves are using Naz Reid
Doncricri
decent trade filler; the earlier the better

This is a guy who fits next to either AD or Bron. I know heās not Naz Reid, but he has shown flashes of having his scoring ability. Need a big man with actual size, a true center.

Praying for his health.

Good. Give him a chance to increase his value and Lakers still need size
Ok_Board9845
We needed to see more minutes with Wood + Lebron + AD or Lebron + Rui. Both of those potential lineups got underutilized
Ryan_Reay
Anyone remember early on in the season, swear it felt like he won us a couple games with his play in the fourth. And mostly serviceable year round when fit. Glad to have him back.
UD_Hunter
I mean he wasnāt ever really healthy but when he was , he wasnāt that bad .
Why not?

No risk high reward.. Homer be homin. This is freat news

Solid pick up at vet minimum. Heās a perfect type of play next to AD
