Lakers need to try like hell to get that 6th seed cause those potential play in matchups scare me more

I disagree, If LA doesn't make any trades they would be wasting Westbrook's expiring contract...On top of that, they would have a huge number of FA this offseason (Dennis, Reaves, Walker, Nunn, Bryant, Beverley)...Imagine if they make no trades, then lose Bryant and Dennis during the offseason.

If Bryant balls out until the deadline flip him, Bev and a first for what though?
To me it all depends on AD. If he's healthy he covers a lot of flaws. If he's not it wont matter anyway cause nothing makes up for AD for real.
The West is too wide open NOT to make a trade. As long as you believe that AD's injury isn't gonna be long term at least.
Well, they should've made the Turner/Hield trade before the season started.
Russ' expiring contract will be a huge asset to many teams wanting to clear cap space
it really depends on what's out there. I don't know who's available. if raptors keep free falling, i'd try and see if siakam is available but then again I don't think we have the assets. maybe OG.
Isn't Thomas Bryant on a minimum? WTF are you flipping him for lmao, he's the exact type of production that the team is looking for in terms of contract value.
the good part about schroeder balling out is that it makes russ even more expendable. but I really like Russ off the bench too.
honestly in an ideal world we trade rat bev, a first, nunn and walker for something productive
lonnie just doesn't fit this team.

If they don't make a trade they would have the cap to resign those 2. They would have 35 million in cap space and BAE of like 6 million I believe.

You could do Lonnie Walker and Damian Jones and a 1st for Poeltl.
if the reports are true that derozan is looking elsewhere then I could see that happening.
i just think it's too late to integrate a player like derozan. he's almost russ like in which he's stuck in his ways and he needs the ball in his hands a lot. I just don't see it working. we need a guy who's a catch and shoot player who can play defense and have some type of shot creation.

I think he'd be better off the bench tbh
This this this
I like Lonnie, but I think rat Bev is just being used wrong and deserves to stay.. especially now that he's able to knockdown some open 3's. He does a lot of good things on the court that you need.
Lonnie is a good microwave scorer, who is a terrible defender and someone that Darvin Ham can no longer use in closing lineups. Honestly Troy Brown Jr needs to get more shine. If you can package Lonnie, Nunn and a first for some extra wing depth that's a very solid midseason trade

I like packaging him for Poeltl in theory.
If they could resign Poeltl for under 15 million you would have a lot of flexibility.
You could bring back a lot of guys mainly Reaves, Thomas Bryant, Wenyen, and maybe even Russ.
Poeltl would really stabilize the defense.
Plus he sets great screens and is a good rebounder.
