MOAR! In the early stages of Randle’s career here, I always wanted Smart. One of the best defenders to ever play the game. Incredible signing if this is true. I always got confused with real NBA waivers. Does it NOT work like fantasy basketball where you can claim a player on waivers? I always wondered why NBA teams don’t claim players? Maybe that’s just fantasy. example - ayton, smart.
if you sign a player while on waivers you have to pay that contract. which is why they wait until they clear
Hoping Goodwin is not a casualty and we have a consolidation trade lined up. We need to add to what little defense we have on the roster, not just replace one with a better one.
That’s a really nice get, just have to hope he can stay relatively healthy. Interested to see how they make the money happen as well. We need more a-holes on the roster who will mix it up when things get physical, this fills that need a bit.
Me too! If I recall correctly the C Bags took him right before our lotto pick? And we then took Randle?
Yeah, he can be a culture and tone setter defensively even if he's dropped off a bit. On this roster, we're operating from such a deficit there, he'll look like prime GP. Physical a******* who are there for it and actually play minutes, we've missed that. Not quite the same when you're tough guys are Kief and Vando. One doesn't play and the other was hurt for two years.
Lakers All-NBA star Luka Doncic reached out to Smart and made it clear that he wanted to play with the two-way stalwart, sources said https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45775886/sources-marcus-smart-plans-join-lakers-wizards-buyout
He shot 48% , and 39% on 3 while playing for Wizards . He's already best from downtown for whole Lakers roster
