We better sign Seth Curry.

It's absolutely hilarious to me when I see/hear players get described as thick

 

[Guile]

DLo isn't really a star, imo. Let some other team sign him. Get 3 or 4 role players, some good vets and hope for magic with these undrafted guys. Load manage AD and LeBron and only aim to win 50 games.

 

[G-Zeus]

how he went undrafted?????

tf? D'Lo is the epitome of a star and he's only 23. Signing role players over him would be an even bigger mistake than trading the young god in the first place

17/10 last season at Nevada. 6'7" getting 10 boards

He’s a very inconsistent shooter with not great athleticism

 

[Rekkapryde]

because Pelinka doesnt understand team building and only knows how to chase names.

we'll see. For them to take this trade and not the earlier one just shows how petty Demps was. We still got AD, but those future picks is what has me . Those might be the ones that end up biting us in the ass if this OldBron and AD team doesn't get it done.

And truth be told, instead of chasing another big name for the max slot, I'd rather us fill out the team with the remaining open cap space. Bron, AD, Kuz, and one more all star/max dude with no depth.....I dunno.

Good point. But he's a Laker now so you better believe I'm stanning like he's the next Barkley

 

[Sinnerman]

Honestly, I'm with the finding a third max player group

Role players are easier to find now than ever.

 

[Kal El]

I'm not understanding the role players over a max guy argument when there will be several buyout vets available if last season is any indication.

Yeah they may start off the season with 3 max guys and little else. But I'm willing to risk starting off the season with little depth and signing some seasoned vets later on in the season than I am missing out on a max guy altogether.

Markieff Morris, Kanter, Wes Matthews, Lin, Austin Rivers, Faried, Ellington - All buyouts from last year that could be in a contender's rotation.

Get the max guy and the vets will come sooner or later.

I dunno, brehs is shook after years of losing seasons. fukk that, unless we can’t get Kawhi (or Kyrie I guess ) there’s no reason to be on some safe shyt. fukk outta here, Baby Logo and the scouting department killing shyt right now we’ll be good with role player signings.

He's not a superstar like Kawhi or Kyrie is what I mean.

Depends on the max guy (Kawhi yes, Kyrie yes, what if its Jimmy? Kemba? Middleton? DLo?) Then the rest of the rotation is cheeks. If the Lakers are willing to go into the luxury tax then I say go ahead and get the 3rd max guy and still sign those vets. Otherwise there's enough top end talent there. Gotta get guys that don't mind just being a great defender and rebounding machine. Get guys that mainly practice that assisted 3 ball. AD, Bron, Kuzma and a couple mid level (8-10m) guys will absolutely feast.

All I heard was "Bron, Ingram, Kuz, Zo were 2 games from the 1 seed at Christmas". One of the teams that was ahead of them on Christmas is now decimated with injuries. So by that rationale Bron, AD, Morris, Bullock, Beverly, with Seth, Rivers, Faried, McGee and Kuz off the bench could win home court
