good move his better than jhs
Quincy can fuckin play period
tf are we really talking about though? Lakers did absolutely nothing to improve the roster and definitely didn't express concern to get a true big/center. So as it stands we are a play-in team at best. 8, 9, or 10th seed
colin wasnt working out, but we are still guard heavy as fuck.
Great decision
Lakers had to sign him cause of that bullshit deal they gave Bronny
If Lebron Wants another 🏆 donate to me. That's your best chance to achieve it. I'm telling you there is NO HAPPY ENDING OTHERWISE. HALF NOW AND OTHER HALF AFTER YOU WIN IT.
At least this finally puts a nail in the coffin of Colin Castleton being a viable big.
He ain’t it and finally I can stop hearing some disillusioned fans saying we have Castleton as back up big..
Jeez..
Q & Knect look like the future of the Lakers next set of players. They should play to earn a starting position and the Lakers shouldn’t hold back on letting them play more minutes and larger roles. Not a bad off season for the Lakers get two potential starters without early picks.
He worked his tail off for that spot. They would’ve waived Bronny. But he’s grandfathered in!
I could see quincy as a sixth man.
Next move trade or waive or cut JHS and get a solid player
No hate for Bron James but this guy Olivari should play more minutes than BJames. If Lakers play BJames on a regular more than this guy, It will be obvious Lakers do what Lebron wants. I'm glad Lakers didn't let him walk to another team while they keep BJames there only because of Lebron.
Gambling destroys Lives and Family's and Sports Media main Goal is to destroy lives under the lie it's Just for fun. Forgive me for ever supporting Gambling and Sports that Promote it. 1 life destroyed by Gambling is 1 TO MANY , that's why I'm walking away from Sports forever. I'm sad and sorry if I lead 1 person astray to gamble. Forgive me. I wont be coming back for this reason. I can't support the most obvious work of the devil.
Lonnie Walker is available. Anyone feel like Lakers should pick him up?
Next player to either be waved or included in a trade would be JHS, possibly next summer.
Well done! Great decision 🎉
I think Olivare can compete with Gabe for the backup PG role. He has great passion, good decision making, not forcing anything, jumper also looks great 👍 I didn't see so much from Gabe during last and this year combined. I get it, Gabe is veteran, but in regular season games I try some Quincy instead of Gabe.
The fact that Bronny was drafted and Olovari was UNDRAFTED especially if you look research their college careers? Clearly illustrates how dumbass lakers scouts are.. that being said happy as a fan for Olivari
solid choice for the team.
Congratulations to Q but he really belongs on the team NOT the G League
Cool – now we can trade Gabe Vincent, because Olivari is better.😂
I'd say this guy will earn the spot with the Los Angeles Lakers
good for him.. lets not pretend he ll elevate us to top 4 now.
we ll see after the obvious trade around november 20
Quincy Olivari should have earned a guaranteed contract. Let's be honest he outplayed James Jr and Lakers role players.

Colin been wit the lakers 2-3 years still hasn’t cracked the rotation. We needed another guard… cuz Hood ain’t it
