    My understanding is, they can bring back Morris if he'll take a Vet Min Contract.
    That's pretty much what the Lakers have left to offer anyone. $2.5Mil Contracts.

    Plenty of Vets that will take that on a one Year deal when they look at this Roster.

    I hope my longshot dream of Pau/Marc combo happens lol but we need a long swingman to have choices, can't rely on our multiple 6'5 guards when facing the Clips, Mavs, Bucks, etc..although Wes has Dwarf strength I'll be more confident having a Torrey Craig type

    Ahh good catch.

    Then KCP gotta come off the bench then

    AC
    Mathews
    Bron
    AD
    McGee

    There are tons of opportunities for THT and Kuz on this team. We need wing defense and perimeter shooting. Its on these two young guys to put in the work.

    If Kuzma can improve, this team will win 60.

    This could eventually happen, but I don't see it to start the Season just due to the quick turnaround & familiarity.
    KCP, should be starting over Matthews, at least initially.

    & Schroder might get that starting spot over AC too.. Not sure on that one tho.

    If we could get Gasol and Kief for the minimum I’d be estastic.

    He could, but he wont. That was a major screw-up.

    I could see him doing a DJ “sorry, changed my mind” and citing his original tweet - wants to stay in LA where he belongs and compete for another ring.

    Only one team could offer him a starting gig and chance for another ring - once Klay went down and Ibaka to Clips, it is only the Lakers. I have a feeling....

    He's the playmaker to keep the offense going when Bron sits . He won't start.

    KCP Matthews Bron AD and Mc Gee ( or Gasol if he signs) will be the starters .

    Dennis and Montrez will PNR opponents benches to death , Caruso will bring the defensive intensity and Kuzma will brick open 3s

    Starters:
    KCP
    Matthews
    Bron
    AD
    Gasol (hoping for him)

    Bench:
    Caruso
    Schroder
    Kuz
    Montrez
    McGee

    Looks a lot better than last years squad. Throw in Cousins and any late season buyouts and we can get even better.

    Bron and AD should be well rested for playoffs.

    John, I think McGee would still start over Gasol. Simply because he's actually in shape.

    Here's our best options left for signing a back up Big Man.
    Wonder who on this list will take a Vet Min Deal to play with the Lakers..?

    Gasol
    Boogie
    x Nerlens Noel - NY
    Aron Baynes
    x Cauley-Stein - DAL

    **edited to reflect updated signings
