I think the Lakers are fine with the current roster. If they were to get another body it should be someone young with energy. No Iggy, No Ariza
Six guys dapped you, so who is this mysterious young 3-and-D forward with energy that the Lakers have the slightest chance of acquiring who you would trust in big spot in the playoffs?

I'm fine with Iggy as long as we don't have to give up anything for him

But it's unlikely the Grizz will buy him out

Don't need to trust him in the playoffs, the roster is built for a championship right now. I'm just saying if they were to get someone, to get someone younger that wont take half the time on the trainers table. Just give the minutes to Kuzma and you'll be fine. No one in the league is stopping Kawhi or a healthy PG, including Iggy. PG might self check himself but we know Kawhi wont. Iggy gives you nothing offensively and can barely move, hes only shot 70% from the line 1 time in the last decade. He might fare a bit better in the slower offense of the Lakers but like I said, I would rather Kuzma get those minutes. Honestly, I would rather the Lakers sign Shumpert over Iggy and Ariza.

As far as "trust in a big spot", I'm fine with Bron, AD, Danny Green, Cook getting the ball.

Cook hasn't looked great in the playoffs before. He was surprising for a young guy at first but hasn't shown he can hit his shots consistently in playoff pressure.i

I think you're underestimating how badly Kuz getting destroyed would disrupt their entire defense. It's not just Kawhi killing him, it's rotations not working, it's LeBron feeling compelled to use more energy on D. Having someone they could trust to at least take 15 minutes to make Kawhi work, who isn't just giving away buckets when they matter, would help a LOT.

Once trade deadline passes...won't have a choice....but ..dude will be rusty ........or healthy on some Dwight ish...

Iggy seems like the type that takes care of his body. But like you said he might be rusty since he hasn’t played any live basketball so far
