    Doubt he can fill up DLo’s playmaking which we will miss but a competent scorer is always welcome

    He's a rotation level combo guard. If he can fill a Monk or LW4 kind of role that's helpful. Considering that roster spot was being held by Lewis, it's a big difference.

    He’s the quietly sneaky pickup in this deal. Big guard who can score.

    apparently gabe was hurt in the last game, so we may get to see how he looks quite soon...

    i'm very happy that we got a guard back in this deal that is actually pretty big at 6'5

    I think he actually can take over Gabe's role (when we trade him).

    D-Lo down, Gabe to go. Maxwell Lewis was a bonus too. Any deal that sends JHS and Gabe somewhere would be the final trade to get the dirty stench off this team from the last two years of bad draft picks and aquistions.

    Vando would be the ultimate but I know that horrendous contract will never get traded unless the Lakers drop 1st for it which can't happen.

    At least he’s an NBA level player where Max Lewis was not (so far), so we gained a little more depth with this trade overall.

    Is the shimmy he makes after making a basket called milkshake?

    does it bring all the boys to the yard?

    it's not unreasonable to think he can do some of what dlo was doing for us, imo.

    Shake Milton is a less athletic Lonnie Walker .. Will be useful in some games

    So I was randomly at a Clippers/Sixers game in March of 2020 right before Covid hit. Embiid and Simmons were out, Shake went for 39 points lol.

    Wouldn't be opposed to bringing Lonnie back if there is another move that thins the guard position. He's a legit NBA player even if flawed

    He doesn't want to play for minimum and I am not sure that Lakers can offer him more money

    I think Shake is going to get a real shot to contribute the next month or so. The FO wants to see if they need to make another deal to replace DLo's playmaking/shooting (Sexton), or if a Gabe/Shake combo can get us by.
