This is a big ask. Not likely. Not on the realistic side. By the way, the build was with the reports in mind that the Lakers supposedly don't want...
It's more by role than traditional position per se. Remember, Luka defends the small forwards. Playmaker: Luka, Reaves Shooter: Reaves, Ellis POA...
I have Reaves in that Kyrie role, and Grimes in the DJJ role. He's not that big, but he's strong. He could play the 3, just like Smart can. You...
Ellis is dirt cheap though. 9.4 million room exception. I suppose, Lakers could also use that on Smart. Herb trade opens up an extra 3 million or...
DEPTH BUILDING PLAN (1) Trade Vando, Knecht, #25 to Pelicans for Herb Jones. Cap room is now about 51 million. (2) Grimes 18 m (3) Robinson 12...
Before that I only was willing to pay the vet minimum for him but the playoffs is a platform for over reaction lol. He might have earned himself a...
Hopefully we could use players like Vando and/or other trade ballast like Knecth, LaRavia, and Ayton + #25 and/or additional draft capital to...
Maybe go with a three-headed lob-monster. Mitchell Robinson and Robert Williams are both very injury-prone, which makes them easier to afford....
Williams is pretty vertical though. Gets 3 dunks per 36 minutes. He has a huge standing reach, so excellent catch radius. Hardly had to jump to...
If Lakers really want to follow the 23-24 Mavs model to appease Luka, then they get multiple lob-threats at the 5, not some combination of...
Yeah, Reed is a good defender too. Another rare player that could play differernt types of defenses.
That Dallas team had 3 lob threats at the 5: Gafford, Lively, and Powell. And also had lob threats at other positions in players like DJJ and PJ.
A bruising lob-threat would be ideal, but maybe kind of a unicorn. Is that what Gafford qualifies as? If not, the Luka 23-24 Mavs didn't have any...
He switches because our defense sucks. If we get better defensive players we could play drop coverage. Did Luka switch in Dallas? I wonder how he...
No, this absolutely could work. Agree that it's a boring around the edges idea like the Herb/Missi one. I'm sure Rob will have a big board with a...
Yeah, Dunn for sure, but LaRavia is negative value. Would have to ad actual value, especially since the Clippers.
Although they have seemingly unlimited resources, the Dodgers "fixing" players with potential to improve is part of their success. Players liek...
People make money off of buying low stock and selling high, not the opposite.
People might want to throw up, but Eason has some of those PJ traits.
Yeah, great examples. Yeah PJ was also only 31% from three that 23-24 season, but had decent volume.
