JJ, thanks for actually listening. You are a smart and humble man. Darvin never listened to me.
I agree. Just saying it wouldn't have been a "bad look" if he benched Cam instead of Rui. People would understand, due to the emergence of Dalton,...
We had a great momentum going when Knecht started. I understand what Redick is doing, though. He was an NBA player, so he knows what it's like to...
Defensive rating doesn't seem to be a very reliable defensive stat. As you mentioned, it seems team-dependent. With that said, I still dont think...
Yeah, but the tricky part is you don't want to give up too much for size because it's likely not going to be a high-minute player due to spacing...
Agreed. That is another major problem. We are 29th in rebounds with about 40 per game. We need to get to around 44-45 to be in the middle of the...
Well, he is known to be a good defender. Lakers are bad at defense, and their best defender is injured. Lakers 21st in steals per game, 29th in...
I thought I heard reports that Lakers would only trade their 1st round picks for a superstar. I wonder what it would take to get KCP back. He is a...
Nah I would go for Poole. 4 years younger. Showing ability to shoot and defend. Kuzma is proven to be neither.
Kuz is one of the most over rated players in the NBA. I wouldn't want to get him back.
Excellent plan to bolster the bench, but I am not sure those guys would be worth giving up 1st for. If we use those bullets I would at least try...
Cam Johnson is a slightly above average defender, but I feel we need a real difference maker to replace Vando for this season, while he is out. I...
Jonas is a defensive and offensive rebounding machine. Lakers are 27th in rebounds per game and 24th in offensive rebounds per game. Vincent +...
Dlo/JHS/Lewis/two 2nds for Willams/Thybulle. We give Portland clean slate for two injury prone players that don't seem to be in their plans. When...
What are his defensive metrics? Could be a good buy low deal for us since he is having a poor shooting season thus far. Thing of note: He is a...
Excellent point about us not wanting AD to play much 4. Also, Kessler would be too expensive for a 15 minute per game back up center. It would...
When you can't think of a more realistic comp than Klay Thompson/Reggie Miller/Ray Allen, you know you have a good player on your hands. Worse...
Any offense we get from Thybulle would be a bonus. I view him as a relatively healthier version of Vando and better than Reddish. I'm not of fan...
3 way deal: Lakers: Bridges, Clarkson, Kolak, Kopenhoop Knicks: Kessler, Vanderbilt, Vincent, 2031 Lakers 1st Utah: Russell, JHS, Wood, 2029...
Maybe Dlo + JHS + Wood + three seconds to Portland for Thybelle and Williams.
