2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

What game were you watching that Kyle Kuzma doesn't even get a mention and you just go right on whining about about needing scoring? 3rd game in a row lighting it up scoring. How does that happen, Alarm? It's clear he is now getting healthy. Open your eyes.

 

Scoring 128 points is good

Giving up 120 points is bad

together they average almost 14 ppg and 13 rpg, along with 2.8 bpg. All while really only being our 5th option on offense. They are not the problem.

 

Total agreement, it was a douche bag move and uncalled for. He is going on my ignore list if it even comes close to happening again.

 

2 realistic small moves, though they can have big impacts

LAL IN: Augustin and Bullock
ORL IN: Cook, 2 LAL 2nds
NYK IN: Stanley and Raps future protected 2nd
TOR IN: Avery and cash from us

Who says no? Or if no Toronto, send Avery to NYK and send them cash. They do this to open little cap space up this summer when Avery likely opts out. Or something close to this, just the framework of the deal

We go:

KCP, Green, Lebron, AD, Mcgee
Augustin, Caruso, Bullock, Kuzma, Dwight

Rondo falls out of rotation basically and would only play if there are injuries

We have added a nice pick and roll backup pg who can shoot the 3 (struggling so far from 3 this yr, but has been picking it up) and Bullock is a nice 3 and d guy if he recovers from neck injury

 

If any transaction is to occur that would instantly help this team would have to include Green in any deal. Because it's likely to be a guy making 15-20 mil per.

No one is taking trash(AB, Cook, Daniels) unless it's a salary dump and those guys don't make anything.

 

and why not give green a chance to prove himself in winning time? nobody's giving us a star for him, and next year, he's big expiring ballast for a substar if need be. let him sink or swim in may/june. unless he gets hurt, of course.

 

He's been awful this year- but what are your thoughts on DSJ?

 

for us, or in general? do not like him for us, but he'll be an interesting reclamation project going forward. he's a low-iq player at the pg, which means he's a backup scoring guard. and he doesn't defend like his athleticism should allow (again, he's just not super sharp on the court). but he plays hard, has some skill, and can beat guys with sheer athleticism. maybe his humbling experience in ny will get his head right. i think dlo needed to shipped out of la before he decided to take things more seriously. maybe dsj needs to be waived by the worst team in the league.

he's underperformed my expectations coming out, but man...ny is a tire fire. hard to know who's good and who isn't there.

 

Just in general. I think he's with Klutch, too.

 

Too many initials always being posted. Who is DSJ? SMH.

 

If you don't know, what makes you think I want to tell you?

 

And you wonder why I can't shoot 50% FTs either.

 

Nobody on NY makes ANY sense for us via trade besides maybe Elfrid Payton.

And I rather get Dj Augustin if possible or Jeff Teague via buyout (I can see this happening is wolves continue to collapse or if he is traded in a bigger deal to say GS or NOLA)

Marcus won't be bought out

 

Payton interests me. I want his skill-set on this team like yesterday; just 13-15 mins would help a great deal.

 

First to answer you about the tone.
I have noticed from the very first day here, that 2-3 members are trying to be the judges over anyone's postings. I respect the fact that they have been here from a long time, I respect anyone else as fellow LAKERS FAN, because we all like and care about the well being of our team. In that regard, anyone can post his own thoughts about problem(s) he has seen, right? Now. I need your honest answer here. How would you feel if you were in my shoes? I have said in one post that the PG position is not our only problem, but SG and center as well. Again. This is how I see the things. It is personal opinion without harming anyone. But "abeer3" responded right a way with:... "Yeah, welcome ALARM - but I disagree with pretty much EVERYTHING you've said." That pissed me off, right there. In the same sentence... with that welcome...! ! ! And minute later "RonStu" liked his post.

I am not trying to impose my thoughts here. Just writing whatever I think. If the center rotation is fine for you and you think we don't need upgrade there, that is fine with me. I don't like the way they both play, but that is me. I am sure, there is no Lakers fan who is happy with the performance and the production from our guards. Besides the luck of scoring ( KCP just started to put some more respectable numbers ), none of them is playing defense. We are also one of the worst teams in NBA in 3 point shooting. Green, KCP, Cook, Bradley and Caruso were signed just for that purpose, but no one of them is hitting open shots.

Apology for my tone.
