2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

A bit, yes, but he’s still projected to be a late First Round pick in mocks. Mara’s been climbing up as of late. I suspect what’ll happen is Mara winds up being a late Lottery pick by the Bulls. The same could also happen with Krivas, depending on how things shake out from here.

Either way, I still stand by my previous suggestions for the Lakers finding a way to get another pick earlier in the draft in order to secure either Mara or Krivas, and have our #25 pick to acquire another prospect for depth.

 

Trust at some point in the playoffs the Lakers will need these young guys to contribute even if it’s for a quick 5 minute stretch.

 

This Peterson kid looks like Jordan to me. Now I see what everyone was talking about. Jordan athleticism Kobe athleticism. He looks like Jordan looked at Carolina. The athleticism and the ability to get the shot up so quick. Quick release. I love a quick release. He can score in bunches. He shoots the s*** out of the ball. Wherever he goes he’s making 15 all stars. Wherever he goes he’s turning that team completely around.

Effortless scorer. When he gets his defense at a top level. Where talking top 5 player in the league. It’s not even close he’s the unquestioned number 1 pick. just put him at 2 guard and get out of the way. I hear a hard worker. And humble kid.

I seen it Jordan Kobe LeBron. Lebron was so big a pure point guard. This kid is a bucket maker. And I see it Warriors will get the number 1 pick and pick him number 1 book it.

 

Whenever you have the combination of athleticism and shooting that’s incredible. Usually you tell the athletes to work on the shooting. He can shoot and jump through the gym. And he has a great handle and ability to put it on the floor. That’s Peterson.
