Right now tankathon has us taking Jontay Porter :patrice:

What y'all know about him?

I mentioned Jaxson Hayes a couple days ago, and tankathon has him 7th(from 20th a few days ago) on their mock draft

He reminds me of Boris Diaw but he tore his ACL and hasn't played all season so I would pass on him

some sites don't even have him in the lottery. I don't find tankathons evaluations to be accurate. I really only use them for their lottery generator

Our starting lineup next year should look like:

PG: Lonzo
SG:
SF:Ingram
PF:Lebron
C:

Lebron can't play the 3 anymore, and we need a dynamic true guard to be able to compete. We also need a skilled C(passing, can finish at the rim) who can play defense and grab rebounds.

So either we draft a C(my preference), then pick up a guard in free agency or through a trade.

Or vice versa

and for the bench we need two way players who can hustle. We should sign at least three bench players on multi-year deals.

Our bench would then look like:
Sixth man: Kuzma
Seventh Man: Big Man FA
Eighth Man: 3&D FA
Ninth Man: PG FA
Tenth Man: Josh Hart
Eleventh Man: Mo Wagner
Twelfth Man: Isaac Bonga

even if we drafted a C he wouldnt be ready to start on a Bron team. Gonna need to grab a veteran starter

AD and a older LeBron ain't it if the Lakers have to give up most of the core and replace them with lesser players. Also the entire roster is going to need to be filled out as well. Basically, it's Kawhi or bust. KD ain't coming. Kyrie may flirt around with it but he could never live down joining LeBron after leaving him. Klay is a good piece but he's not someone who can carry a franchise and he don't want that Lakers pressure, he's staying with the Warriors.

Fully agree. Kawhi is the answer. He’s a closer, champion that beat LeBron head up which demands respect off the rip in the locker room, fits great next to LeBron, SoCal guy so the community will embrace him, focused on basketball. He’d be the basketball driven Kobe to the larger than life personality of Shaq(LeBron). If we sign Kawhi and make sound moves to fill out the roster then only another bad coach or injuries will stop us.

As bad as things were this season, the young guns gon be a year more experienced and stronger, LeBron will be rested and hopefully will be motivated to bounce back, and Kawhi will have one of the best supporting casts around him since his championship Spurs years. Kawhi is priority, fukk the pels. AD can sign in 2020 if he want.

Only way there is a chance that Kawhi comes here is if the Raptors flame out in like the first round.
