Terrence Ross might be available, would yall flip KCP/pick for him?
KCP can be frustrating, but he showed a lot of fight in that last game while dealing with a knee injury.

So you'll get a worse 3 point shooter (worse defender?) and a guy we dont know if he has the fight in him for the playoffs.

I dont know how much of an upgrade he is. If he was bought out sure.

I like KCP but one of his biggest issues is he is not willing to attempt more shots. We need our shooters to take more, we were one of the lowest at 3 pt attempts. I don't think Magic will just let go T Ross for free. We just need more willing shooters next year

1)Jayden Springer
Springer's game doesn't scream upside, but his versatility should create an easy fit. Capable of playing on and off the ball and guarding both backcourt positions, the 18-year-old combo flashed passing IQ, three-point shooting accuracy and solid defensive technique.



2)Zaire Williams

He’s a long, smooth, and athletic forward who has a versatile skill set. Williams will need to be able to improve his perimeter shot, but he’s a guy who can put it on the floor and make plays for himself and for others. LeBron James is also plenty familiar with Williams since he played with Bronny James in high school.



3) Chris Duarte
Duarte is a well-rounded guard that could fall in the draft due to his age, but he can score in a variety of ways and is also a quality defender.



4)BJ Boston



Find it 2 of Bronny hs teammates projected to come to LA

Teenagers aren't going to help this team right now. Give me Duarte.

KCP isn’t a better shooter than Ross. Ross is a damn microwave...can drop 40 at anytime. KCP can’t do that. And even tho KCP is a better defender with heart Ross could actually take over games and create his own offense. Lakers need dynamic players like that...

Age 24 :dwillhuh:

Are we trying to draft Kuz 2.0


I will say this will tell us a lot about Klutch/Bron's involvement with the draft.

THT has more potential, but Terrance Mann who was drafted right after him is a better 3 point shooter and defender right now.

This dude is better than the current Klutch guy (BJ Boston's 3 point shooting fell off). So its on Rob.

Chris Duarte has Klay Thompson written all over him :wow:

LA will be fine...Veteran players will sign up just to have an opportunity to play with Bron/AD, win a chip, and set up their next contract. It's up to Rob to select/sign the right players. Do not let Klutch dictate the roster. That's what messed LA up last offseason...Signing Harrell instead of locking up Dwight was asinine...Bron can have his input, but do not let Rich bully you into signing a Klutch client at the expense of a better option.

Bron is not coming off the ball. You can't be ball dominant your whole career and change it up. That first year in Miami along with the Finals debacle showed how he is when he's not the primary ball handler.
it doesnt make sense for him not to have the ball in his hands a lot. I will say though that the ideal scenario is for him not to be the primary person bringing the ball up and formationally starting lebron in a wider variety of spots on the floor. He'll still have his hands on the ball a lot but will encourage diversity in the looks the lakers give.
