If his shot is for real, then heck yeah we do. PG: Vando (24) Smart (24) SG: Reaves (36) LaRavia (12) SF: Doncic (36) LaRavia (12) PF: James (30)...
Maybe after December 15, Lakers could trade Kleber + 2031 1st (top-8 protected) to the 76rs for Grimes and Gordon?
Yeah maybe a starting lineup of: PG: Vanderbilt (defensively) SG: Reaves SF: Luka PF: Hachimura C: Ayton Vanderbilt's shot looks really good...
Brooks seems like the lease point guard defender out of those three guys. But, it is unlikely we get the latter two.
Ellis is a better fit with Luka and Reaves because he is a much better defender than Rui, defends the point guard, and is a higher volume 3-py...
If the Kings are desperate to shed salary, another thing we could do is something like this: Lakers get: Malik Monk and 2031 1st (top-4...
Luka is better at the 3, defensively. Austin is at the 2. Ellis would be the 1. But, I agree we are probably not getting Ellis. Whoever we do get...
Yeah, we probably won't get Ellis. The Kings just traded a bunch of draft picks for LaVine, so I don't think they will find Knecht + our 2031 1st...
Ellis has been a high volume 3-pt shooter per 36 minutes for all three seasons of his young career. Last season he hit 1.7/4 threes per game,...
Yeah, we need someone of that caliber. The player we package the pick for should have the following: (1) High-volume 3-pt shooting: 2+ threes...
Yeah, you just have to make this deal. I look at it like this. If we traded Kleber + Vincent + Knecht + 1st for Wiggins, we would have to pay...
But we probably could agree to the Kleber + Vincent + 2031 first round pick (top-5 protected) for Grimes + 2027, 2028, 2030 2nd deal, and follow...
Yeah, I feel like it would be a low-key solid move. Would remind me a bit of 2020, when we quietly added multiple 3 and D players/perimeter...
Why not a Quentin Grimes sign and trade? Grimes is a 25-year old 3 and D switchable guard. Offensively, he is a career 15 ppg, 2.9/7.6 threes per...
Great point... They probably did. Highly doubtful the Lakers trade Reaves for a 18 mpg Kessler. Also, Redick likes to go small at times. Lakers...
Yeah, it does look better. Shooting and shooting form is defntly something that could be fixed. Players such as Bruce Bowen, Derek Fisher, Jason...
Yeah, I saw the Vando footage, but you know how that goes. Hopefully it translates to the games. I think it will. We just need him to...
Three-team trade: LAL gets: Nesmith UTA gets: Knecht, 2027 LAL 1st (1-4), 2028 LAL swap, 2030 LAL swap, 2030 IND 1st (top-13 protected), 2031...
Yeah, would have been a good "buy-low" opportunity. I would have been a little concerned about the spacing issues, with the way our team is...
For sure. Smart hopefully could return to his first-team all-defense form. Many are saying he is more of a wing defender at this point of his...
