That is one of the things Lakers really need to think about in terms of trading significant assets for a POA defender. Are they a better POA...
I don't really have any data readily available, but it seems pretty important. Rob stacked the roster with perimeter defenders. We have Smart,...
Yeah, they might want to fleece us. I saw somewhere that Ellis was rated poorly as a screen navigator. Forgot where I saw that. That could be...
Lakers could also take a flyer on Carter. They liked him in the draft. He is listed at 6-2, but plays a lot bigger. Could be duplication with...
Yeah, but would you be willing to to part with the 1st? Maybe Portland trades us three 2nds, and we send out a lottery protected 1st? If we had...
It seems, there is no one really available for Knecht + 1st that meets that criteria, that is obviously worth a 1st. Vincent + Kleber + Knecht +...
Anybody you have in mind? I think this player also needs to be relatively young, in Luka's timeline. I think we are in a spot where the top tier...
I don't think it's a no-brainer. I would give it serious consideration though. I agree with your take about making the center position deep....
I would expand on this: Lakers get: Thybulle, Williams, and Reath Blazers get: Knecht, Kleber, Vincent, 2032 2nd, 2028 swap, and 2030 swap....
I'm sure Vando will find a way to play 15-25 minutes per game, if healthy. He always does. Especially with injuries. But, I see what you are...
If the coach wants to use a 10-man rotation, then sure, Vando could play some minutes. I'm very optimistic that Vando will improve his offensive...
I feel like it will be a 9 man rotation with the current roster. Cons: Gabe might not be good enough, but the coach likes him. Bronny could...
We did manage to win an NBA championship in 2019-2020, although we did have Lebron and traditional centers in McGee/Dwight. Key differences: AD...
At his best, I would get Kobe vibes with AD sometimes, in terms of he might go off for 60 right now. He was actually exciting to watch. I don't...
Yeah it's unfortunate, but it does make sense. When Lebron retires, Luka, even skinny Luka could slide to the 4 defensively, which is his best...
Sliwa is a good podcaster.
Rui + Vincent + 2032 2nd + 2028 swap + 2030 swap to Miami for Wiggins + Keshad Johnson. I think Miami ends up settling for this type of deal. Rui...
Wiggins might be a smoke screen. We might really want some one like an Herb Jones.
Who do you think this might be? And when?
I agree. Wiggins doesn't move the needle enough to part with the assets.
