2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Rather the Lakers lock in on Cam Thomas. I think he'd have a real role on the Lakers since the bench scoring absolutely sucks.

With Luke and Rui coming off the bench and now you add Thomas, you can pump up some offense at least.

I think Maxi proved he has some value still as a big in case Ayton or Hayes are not playing up-to-par. Knecht is the odd-man out here. Just not entirely sure what role he will play for the Lakers at this point.

 

the whole thread is filled with Lakers fans lol

 

The trade deadline has come and gone, we have what we have, all hands on deck now. Play Maxi more, that 4 SF/PF lineup works. Redick will have to figure it out in the playoffs, with the rotations but that's why he's getting paid millions. There is no excuse for another postseason run of 6 or 7 players.

 

Run it...Dump Dalton if you have to, Maxi looks more usable to me. We will look like dumb a**** waiving a 1st rd pick so soon, but f*** it.

 

Maxi can move his feet still on defense which can be useful. If he can just any semblance of his 3 point shot back then he's actually a great "addition"

Anyways I've wanted thybulle for awhile - hope the Lakers can get him. Ideal fit for what the Lakers need in another guard

 

No timeline for return
February 6, 2026
Curry (knee) doesn't have a timetable for a return to action, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

 

I'm usually in that camp but with our current roster, we really need to add a guy that plays. We lack depth from the 10th/11th guy down. And we have a couple that usually get played out of the court in the postseason

 

Mattise probably won’t play a minute the rest of the year.Out indefinitely with knee tendinpothy

 

They need to to talk to Demar and or Middletons agents to see if they are seeking buy outs

 

Thybulle is done lol why don’t people get that

How about a 2 way/ 3 & D player? He shooting 44% FG's, 41% from 3 2022 Pac-12 All-Defensive team.

 

Wouldn't mind

He has good press, haven't seen much of him though

 

lol, been wanting to trade for this guy. maybe i'm a d******, but i think this is a guy who can defend 1,2, and small 3s and isn't totally inept on offense. that's worth a roster spot to me.

 

Full article is worth the read.

 

I have no clue what the Bucks are doing.

Why didn't they trade Gary Trent Jr or KPJ for some picks? They're both leaving after this season anyways. Should've gotten some 2nd rounders for them at least.

 

The summer presents an opportunity, armed with significant cap flexibility, to start building the necessary components of a modern front office and reap early benefits. League sources say that includes significant hires to a wide range of front-office positions this summer, with the Lakers expected to model their front office after the World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers.


Yeah I want to know about this stuff. Significant numbers or names?

 

I feel you're a proud boy for saying that

 

Yes to:
-Highsmith
-a real front office

No to:
-Giannis
-Cam Thomas


Also, on the topic of the scout department, on Irwin's pod he said he asked about it yesterday, still a vacant position within the front office.
