I wish I got paid measly $5M per year for the next 4-5 years. :(
^ He can get up for blocks and dunks, but not consistently. Needs to work on his body and stamina in the offseason.
This guy is a proven shooter. Can we have both McL and McD?
Yes, definitely work on the jumper. You don't want people disrespecting you at the 3 point line. Hopefully, he'll continue to develop.
It goes without saying that we are exploring trades in order to improve - or, as you said, get more talented fit in return.
Now we need to explore Kuz + KCP = ? trade. Need a reliable shooter on the wing, pronto.
Work on the 3-pt shot. Develop in general. Trade only for a true impact guard who can make plays and score.
Just injuries. Maybe the fact that we're one of the worst shooting teams in the league. That has to change on way or another.
Good thread. It used to be called "What's next for the Lakers?" but this will do just fine, IMO. Obviously, it was a disappointing season for us....
Absolutely not. We're not that kind of organization and he will be back. Just have some things he needs to work on in the offseason.
I don't feel good about it right now. :) Seriously now, hopefully someone can beat them this year, we'll see.
OK Dennis, good luck on your new team.
Rest, get better, work on your lower body strength. Right?
100+ million for Dennis is how one tanks the franchise. And I don't mean to say he's a bad player, because - aside from the fact that he's not a...
Probably a goner. Doesn't strike me as a quitter, really. I won't complain much if he's gone. We need to play Caruso and bring some new faces that...
Once we let Trez walk, it will be perfectly acceptable to sign Drummond for cheap. He'd be alright after a good training camp.
Basically, Bron sitting = bad news.
I did want Dennis, but almost strictly as a bench scoring guard, to make plays when Bron is on the bench and play PnR with Trez. Didn't happen....
Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. I would at least like to see us out of the first round. Whatever happens afterwards... heavily depends on our...
Even if he plays, this will linger on. But let's see if he can help us beat PHX and we'll go from there.
