    Love the versatility of Gasol, Harrell & AD at Center.
    We're probably not done signing big bodies yet either...

    Re signing Morris was Huge..!! Dudley & Cousins..?? Maybe give a Vet shooter like Korver a go..?
    This Roster is scary good.

    Schroder / Caruso / (Simpson?)
    KCP / Matthews / Tucker
    LeBron / Kuzma / (McKinnie?)
    AD / Morris / ???
    Gasol / Harrell / ???

    We need a 2/3 combo type of dude IMO and one more true big.

    Who is still out there?

    Of the 10 guys who will actually get minutes this season... there's literally no bad player there. None.

    At this point, you probably want to sign another center who will be glued to the bench, except if someone gets hurt. Pure insurance.

    So 1 or 2 more vet min ? I count 13 players and read we had to have 14 guys due to the hard cap situation

    We need a rim protector and another wing player. I would get Hasan Whiteside now and hope that someone like a Trevor Ariza is bought out mid-season

    Lakers just need replacements in case the rotational players get injured. No need to get more than what is necessary. I would get Whiteside if someone could convince that knucklehead that he can't be whining and crying about his minutes like he did in Portland. Otherwise, probably the best bet is to just ease Cousins back into the game. With Kieff, he'll be able to play some good minutes in center if needed as well. I would say go after Batum just because we need a LeBron-type wing who can guard the 3 and give us some good offense.

    we can take a chance on a high upside player like Dragan Bender or others who aren't as greatly named

    The Ballad of Bender, the warmer of bench

    Holy Crap let than 10 man rotation sink in. Without even THT slotted in which he will be in certain matchups and for foul trouble or injury or because Frank damn well wants to put him in. We are DEEP!

    I think they need another ball handling guard, esp if they keep Bell and McKinnie.

    Jackson and Whiteside.

    I think what we will see is, AD playing centre for the Nuggets/Philly etc match-ups. Sure, he will sacrifice some scoring, but we have the ability to turn to other players to get buckets for us this (upcoming) season.

    yes, they've made some nice upgrades so far this offseason but let's not start crowning these guys already

    leave that for the clippers fans. we've seen what's happened before when the lakers have put together "stacked" rosters
