Will update as the team fills out but so far we have:
Russell Westbrook / Kendrick Nunn / Rajon Rondo
Malik Monk / Wayne Ellington / Talen Horton Tucker
Lebron James / Kent Bazemore
Anthony Davis / Carmelo Anthony / Trevor Ariza
Dwight Howard / DeAndre Jordan
13/15
Austin Reaves and Joel Ayayi on two-way contracts
------
-Definitely going to need Mills and Melo/Gay types for the 1 and the 4.
-If AD is more comfortable at the 5 now I think we're good with Marc and Dwight.
-Still not liking how we don't have size on the wings. Baze is 6'5 and THT is 6'4. Ariza is 6'8 but also 36
-I understand the appeal of Dudley again but I really hope he picks up an assistant coach gig instead of taking up a roster spot. I'd give that spot to one of our undrafted steals cause we're old enough already.
2022-23:
Kendrick Nunn / Russel Westbrook / Dennis Schroder
Lonnie Walker / Patrick Beverley / Max Christie
Austin Reaves / Matt Ryan / Troy...
Well here we are again. A year after falling out of the playoffs and losing to the damn Suns a new season is upon us. The WMC committee was waiting for the right time to start a new and... "the Eagle has left the building" seems as good a time.
For the new kids this thread is for your irrational hate that would make zero sense anywhere else. It is for the seething questions you have about the way our team plays in the wrong color shoes. It is for whatever your complaining hearts desire.
So here we have it the official complain thread where you can wax unpoetically about how horrible things are in Lakers land. The season is around the corner and we fans must be ready to hate on our squad like never before. Without further delay I give you.....
Wow. What a day, eh? And to top it off, I just saw that we signed a few undrafted players including Chaundee Brown from Michigan who was way up on my wish list. So, during the NCAA tournament I filled a yellow pad with notes (hey, it's the pandemic, not much else to do, right?) and was incredibly impressed with Chaundee. It wasn't that he filled up the stat sheets, it initially was his shooting mechanics that got my attention. Hands down, prettiest jump shot in the tourney. He's 22, 6'5", 215 lbs and has an NBA body and motor. Tough as nails and makes great decisions on the floor offensively and help defensively. But that picture perfect, feathery jumper. Take a look at him on Youtube. That's how you want to teach young players to shoot the rock. His release reminds me of Donovan Mitchell's.
Anyways, I am looking forward to seeing how he does in Summer League. It will not surprise me to see him make an impact. Again, what a flippin' day!
