GIVE A TEAM A RING N FEED EM 4 A YEAR, GIVE EM A DYNASTY N FEED EM 4 A LIFETIME: 2021 LAKERS THREAD

[Flex Luger]

I just got a feeling if we do sign a shooter he’s gonna magically forget how to shoot once he gets here

Drummond only 27 and about to be under a good system. Him at center and Ad at the power forward is nice for the lakers. I think we see something different from him now that he will have different responsibilities. If he signs with us.

 

[Malik1time]

Now that the oaf is going to sign with us, we need to find a shooting guard

desperately
kcp and wes forget how to shoot at random moments

I think he's an empty stats guy with no real impact on the game. And defense has never been the problem for this team, even with Brow and Bron out. They simply can't make shots and he doesn't help with that at all.

I'd love to be wrong if he signs with the Lakers.

his stats were empty before because they werent laker stats. he still would strengthen rebounding against bigger teams, allows matchup flexibility, and when the team isnt making shots gives offensive focus by being someone the ball can be dumped down to and drawing fouls which helps everyone.

Wish we could've picked up Reddikk..

reddikk is washed...

They say Otto Porter still might get bought out.

Do you think Dieng could help?

Drummond
AD
Bron
KCP
Dennis

Spacing is gonna be an issue. Got one shooter in the lineup who often forgets how to shoot. Need someone like Porter or Ellington to hit the buyout market.

That’s why I’m leaning towards Dieng being a good pickup.

I havent watched him play lately but I would say that defensively he would help greatly with shot blocking and rebounding. i would give him one edge over drummond in terms of being a bit more mobile which in theory should lead him to being a better pic and roll defender than drummond. he isnt the offensive player drummond is though so he should be cheaper.

Lakers can get three guys if someone is cut. Hoping for Drummond, Porter, and Bradley.

The Lakers don’t need a offensive center they need someone who can defend the paint, rebound and spread the floor. Low key they should cut Gasol and sign Dieng and Drummond and get a shooter if one is available.

well he can defend and rebound. i believe that we need an offensive center particularly one who can put pressure on opposing front lines. fouls he draws cant be used aganst AD or lebron when he drives.

No doubt Drummond would help don’t get me wrong
