Yeah, I think Lakers' goal is to low-key get the best two-way POA defender possible without giving up Reaves. I think, they have everything else...
Since there are not many 3 and D options out there, I would be willing to risk trading the 2031 1st for a player that is a little older than...
Yeah, I would go ahead and see if he would take around 4 years/ 70 million. This deal would start at around 15.5 million and go up with 8% raises....
No, I think it could be a factor. Demographics data might suggest that. It really could be a win-win for both parties, if handled properly. I...
This team might end up doing really well. Rui is a "nice" shooter, and I'm fine with signing him to an extension at a "discount". But, I think we...
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...
