    You have to admire Jimmy Buckets for speaking his mind. (LOL!) The bit about s***ty coffee and no validated parking though...that crossed a line. I wonder what he was hinting at when he said he wanted to punch Draymond in the front teeth. Was that code for something?

    We did. And speaking for myself, I hope he shoots the lights out for CHA, except against us, of course.

    Hope he works on his defense and feeds his mind, but I won't hold my breath. Good kid.

    Let's not also forget turning Nunn into Rui, and Westbrook into Vando and Russell and getting us into the WCF.

    Luka / Vincent
    AR
    DFS / Vanderbilt
    Lebron / Rui
    Williams / Hayes

    I think this roster can contend as is, but I think we can use some guard depth to replace Dalton’s scoring punch

    What’s Lonnie Walker up to?

    Yeah not against this trade I know MW is good right now and potentially be better in the future.Essentially two first seems a bit much but I understand the trade for him completely

    Yep, Ok, now I believe we actually could contend this year. We needed a center and we got him. But yes, would love one more guard to shore it all up, although honestly I don't hate Shake.

    This is how I see it as well. Come playoff time:

    Luka (36) / Gabe (12)
    Reaves (36) / Gabe (12)
    DFS (30) / Vando (18)
    Lebron (36) / Vando (6) / Rui (6)
    Williams (30) / Rui (18)

    Hayes and Milton deep bench.

    We have quite a lot of wings now. I just want to see a Luka, DFS, Vando, Lebron, Rui lineup one time - for all the years we didn’t have any large wings. Switch everything.

    Can Gabe be a credible POA defender for fast guards alongside Luka and Reaves? And can Vando be healthy enough to be the POA cover for the larger guards and SFs?

    If that’s possible we maybe don’t need anything else?

    I think Shake has earned a spot after that scoring explosion against the Bullets

    I like how nobody has Bronny Jr on their depth charts.

    :Beertoast2:

    Laker fans are very intelligent

    As mentioned above by Irwin, but another source as well. Exciting, hope we can get something done and continue this roll, get greedy, as many quality players as possible
