    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 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

    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
