Getting Mitchell seems less and less likely

Lakers front office has mixed feelings when it comes to Trae

Hayes and Cam are going to most likely opt in

Good chance we run it back with the same team

Why would we keep D'Lo and Donovan?

He should be packaged too

Edit: Read the rest and people that write in vague circles are infuriating to me

Cam is great as a third string wing. He'd make a long career for himself if he just worked on his spot up shooting.

Almost positive either Hayes (if he opts in) or Wood get traded, there's no way they run back the same big man rotation, ain't no way

This was the trade that was suppose to happen. Now we could gonna lose DLO for nothing.

"Many in the industry believe the Lakers would like to upgrade around James, Davis and Reaves. That probably means Russell ends up elsewhere"

“Russell leaving could help the Lakers bring back players like Taurean Prince, Max Christie, Spencer Dinwiddie and/or spend the $5.3 million taxpayer mid-level exception.”

If for whatever reason we don’t sign Christie

how yall feel about a pg rotation of dinwiddie, cp3, and kris dunn? saw a mention of it on lakers nation youtube

@Leftside i knew i was cooking when i said trade gabe, keep dinwiddie and add cp3

Cp3 is washed. But he’s boys with Lebron. So stupid. Be the only team in the league running with two 40 year olds. He is a washed midget

I'd want to kms, that screams f*** offense and I loved Kris. His college teammate Bryce Cotton used to run rec in the gym I frequented and he's a good dude

But im all on board with CP3

Bron dgaf if they cool or not. Look at what happened to Melo and D Wade

Maybe?

Cam was actually okay until he got hurt. His defense was legit and he was hitting his jumper. If we getting a better coach and he brings energy with that defense and jumper, he could be a useful backup. I think he is more of a backup wing.

It's not straight Cam hate itt

I want DeJounte. Then Seattle hoopers different

We had Mike Brown dude. He was ass

Nah he was never given a chance.

I think this should be our target

Why: The Hawks are going Draft that French center at 1 and he is likely going be starting center. I would offer the 17th pick, Gabe Vincent, and a future 2nd.

nbadraft.net/players/onyeka-okongwu

A defensive center who is only 23. This would solve a big hole at center with youth. Okongwu has flashed but sometimes it takes players a few years. He’s just hitting his prime and best basketball ahead of him. He fits with win now. He’s even from LA

C - Okongwu
F- AD
F- Lebron
G- Reaves
G -
6th - Rui - Rui moves back into that 6th man of the year role.

Other bench
Bigs- Wood/ Hayes
F- Vandy / Cam
SG- Max

Then we look to flip DLO for a more athletic and quicker PG. It’s time to break up Reaves and DLo. Two guards who aren’t great at defense isn’t it. DLO has a loser mind set. He thinks he’s an all star when he should really be a 6th man Jamal Crawford type

They not getting rid of Okungwu, unless they'll get back Bron

Screw it, I’ll do a mock off-season.

-Make that Atlanta trade for the center, #17 Vincent

-Trade DLO 2 2nd rounders for Jordan Clarkson

• Hayes and Cam will opt in

• bring back Max. Give him the clear role as backup SG

• Sign Markelle Fultz to the MLE. He will get a starting spot. Magic going bring in a shooter to start next to Suggs

• sign James Wiseman for the minimum

2024 - 2025 Lakers
C - OkongWu, Wiseman, Hayes
PF- AD, Vandy, Wood
SF- Lebron, Rui, Maxwell
SG- Reaves, Christie, Cam
PG- Fultz , Clarkson, JHS

Get a center maybe 2

Draft bpa

Flip that loser DLo

Any coach would be an upgrade to Ham

That’s enough changes. Build chemistry, stay healthy
