So I think y’all should go after Bojan, Ariza, Joseph. Then get players like JR Smith maybe Rondo comes Back at the minimum and McGee. But filling out the roster gone be hard.

there was a report already stating that pat pev and dany green would contemplate coming for the min if lakers got ad and kawai.

I'd rather go for a combination of younger cheaper guys in Mike Scott and James Ennis over Ariza. You could get one of them and a center(Dedmon, Mcgee?) with exceptions if you go for Kawhi, Butler, Kemba, and Kyrie. The Lakers are definitely getting meetings with all these guys now.

Resign Rondo and JaVale

Hill
Reddikk or Wes Matthews/Ross/resign Bullock
Bron

Pau can barely walk, no thanks and Jamal is a chucker with zero defense. I think Ariza comes, he essentially took the bag last year so he can do vet mins in the future or maybe he takes another big contract. Melo is also a guaranteed lol.

I would target Caruso, Curry for backup pg.

As usual people are getting hyped at the offensive potential of the team when they should really be thinking about what the DEFENSE will look like. If Kuzma is really a part of the starting lineup along with old man Bron, it might be 3 vs 5 out there on defense. :scust:

AD could legit hurt himself constantly covering for those two. It will be critical that they fill out the roster with defensive pieces that can defend against guards/wings.

Since they’ve shown a HELL of a commitment to Kuz he needs to hit the gym this summer and work on his defense. Call up Gary Payton or whomever and get to WORK.

Bron is probably going to be load managing himself on defense for the remainder of his career. Truth be told i’m not mad at it as long as it helps him turn on that “switch” during playoff time.


Respects to your avi:salute:

Kuzma might simply be one of those players that no matter how hard he works, he might not be more than average on defense. He has very poor defensive instincts and I don't think he has the physical tools to get better either. :yeshrug:
