no to all these score first guards. If we can pull it off Trade D-Lo for Jonathan Issac. Versatile defender that can knock down the 3 and on a non-guaranteed contract!
At this pace we will be lucky to make the playoffs…all of these guys are trash that’s why they are available! Trade DLo & Reaves plus the picks and get a STAR Dr Buss would agree it’s LA we don’t need a bunch of role players geesh !
Just keep D-Lo and improve bench we need a decent center as well
Ps sign Demar DeRozan and trade for J.Allen
Can we make a trade for Steven Adams to help with the Center situation? 🤔
I rather keep DLo
Dont let dinwede go, also austin reeves
If d lo walks and we got the 13 mil MLE, split the MLE between Melton & Gary Trent.
Did I cook?
Keep D Lo but he does NOT deserve a max contract. Look at the wolves. They got rid of D Lo and went from the WORST offensive team to the BEST.
Dlo is gonna walk for nothing. Probably gonna wind up with a MLE type guy whether you want it or not.
Reaves hater D Ham is gone. Reaves will be an All-star this year. Hopefully with the Lakers.
Serviceable C
Serviceable SF
Serviceable PG
AD PF
AR SG
Bron 6th man less wear and tear during regular season.
Then need 2 more bench players depends on trades and assets left
Centers: Claxton, Tillman, Drummond as back up
SF/ PG thru free agency or draft
If they retain DLo he can't start with AR bad combo for defense
Honestly with a new coach that can utilize the talent on the Lakers would be better off with FA signings to tweak weaknesses.
C Back up or AD by matchup
AD at PF/C dictated by matchup
Bron PF/ 6th man PF when Ad Starts
SF A pickup of young 2 way player thru 1 FA 2 Draft 3 trade.
SG need a better option than AR if Dlo returns
PG Dlo if retained
Bench has Rui, AR, Bron if not
starting at PF, backup C, Vanderbilt Starter at the 3 possibly, Christie
Could consider Christie as starting SG with a return of Dlo
With a new coach who can use players in the best roles for the situation of the matchup Lakers can be a 50 win team as is.
Need some on the roster to step up for next year by futher developing for the younger guys on the team
Negative Trev still wants to trade Delo at the trade deadline. Next year?
Gary Harris 👌🏼
Keep dlo as water boy
Unless the Lakers are dealing AR/Christie, then I don't believe getting another 2 guard is beneficial. That just creates glut at that position. Especially if we really want to give Max real minutes. Which I believe he should get. The Lakers should focus on shoring up the PG (if DLo leaves), the SF spot (if Prince/Reddish leave), and the C spot (to give proper support to AD).
Lakers should help DLo get a big bag and get a nice return
Lakers need run it back with the starters get better back ups make Rui 6 man
I don’t understand the DLO hate here. Half the video are sugestions to replace our 3rd best offensive option by a bench player. DLO was 3rd best player on the team, most of the year outside playoff matchup with Denver (twice).
If it's a must to have a 2-way player then why would a Trae Young is being considered???
do a vid on potential bigs
