rumors bout ingram.. and would b low trade price but then Lakers gotta max him
Ingram would, in a wonky way, help improve with defending and rebounding and help play these big rangey lengthy teams like OKC and Boston. And yeah I'm tired of non defending tweaner guards. Keep Dalton because he can shoot the ball. But yeah Reaves, Dlo, Rui, and the pick are all available for that sort of player. Not sure the Pelicans want to blow it up this season though unless some other player is coming there in a 3 team trade.

Vincent just gotta find his fukking Miami form because no one is trading him. Christie is bum but he has the best defending attributes of all the guards. I know the dude is making money but he is exactly the type of player that needed another year college to maxmize his development. He would have been so much better instead of basicallly floundering on an NBA team development wise. JJ seems to be interested indevelping him, so there is that.

I think getting a 3rd max early is better than waiting for new TV deal... do u think Ingram > lavine?
Ingram over Lavine all day. I mean Lavine would help and is more realistic. At least we would just be outscoring teams and have to find a way to defend int he playoffs.

But yeah no trades are coming the Lakers gotta find a way to withstand this winter period. My opinion start playing Christie/Dalton more and reduce DLo and Reaves minutes. IT has to be iterated that Christie got play above league average perimeter defense as a baseline for getting on the floor.

out of the lakers top 12 most used lineups this season, all 7 of the lineups involving dlo have a postiive net rating. only player on the team that is true for out of the top 12. entering tonight +16.9 on/off rating. obviously not a good defender and hasnt shot well for much of the season but theyve been better with him on the floor.
His decision making isn't perfect but he pushes the pace and make the best passes out of all their point guards
