I don't understand the need for trying to sign another guard?

Russ, THT, Monk, Nunn and then LeBron.

im assuming Russell can play off ball a lot and they want to limit and rest (lebron/AD/russy) so they can bring in another Ball handler or vet who is good in that role.

Saw him ball out vs the heat in 2017/2018 season. Made me proud to wear that laker jersey in miami arena

He had a good run with us. He a born and bred Laker stan through his dad. It’s basically the Seattle version of QC. I want him to get a ring, GOAT franchise gotta bless em after what Boston did….:wow:

There really isn't a pass-first PG on the bench. Everyone other than Russ is more of a SG/SF and even Russ himself isn't exactly a pure PG. If Westbrook or Bron gets hurt, then the other one is left hanging as the only distributor and you're stuck relying on Nunn or THT to handle the ball whenever he's sitting.

Really the logjam is at SG/SF. Bazemore/Ellington/Monk/Nunn/THT are too much with Bron there, someone gonna be left without minutes. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone get dropped or packaged out at midseason.

Neither are IT, Mike James or Collison and you don't really need to be pass first when you have LeBron and Westbrook on the same team, the other guys are decent enough to playmake like THT, Nunn, etc. The team needs some SF

Westbrook + Bron ain't enough because you're in trouble the moment one of them gets hurt. Even a team with Bron should still have a 2nd PG. Collison is definitely a pass-first PG and he would be a perfect fit as the backup point if he's still fit. The other two guys would be a bad idea.

Lakers can still add two people, one of those should be a defensive forward (preferably a long SF) but the other one can be a point or a center.

:stopitslime:No I wasn’t, read exactly what I typed. My post wasn’t hate OR slander. Hit dogs will bark, and you’re barking for nothing. At least make sense.


Let's see, compare my post and yours:



Russ doesn’t mesh with Lebron or our offensive system. Will never happen.

It can work, we just don't know "how" it will work yet. They got talent on this team, it's just some very weird fits. I still haven't heard anyone say what Westbrook's specific role is going to be late when he doesn't play defense, can't shoot for shyt, and doesn't make good decisions. At best late in the game he's a poor man's Bron with the drive-and-kick, and why do you want that when you have the actual Bron?

All I'm doing is putting actual substance on the same shyt you said. Everything else after that was just evidence and defense for the argument when Russ stans came up with increasingly convoluted ways to try to dismiss it.

Once again, no hate or slander, just disbelief of it meshing. Your tactics won’t work with me. Useless back and forth.
