I don't like KCP for the Lakers, I don't get it

I don't like KCP for the Lakers, I don't get it

get it for who?

He's a very good player to have to a guy like Lonzo and they get a SG..

for KCP, the market was dry..he gets to play in LA and if he does well and Lakers strike out next season which is a huge possibility, he gets to re-sign there

 

[DPresidential]

Should Lakers be shooting for draft lottery or playoffs?

Playoffs, they don't have their pick next year so they have to win some games.


It goes to Philly or Boston (Boston gets it if it's 2-5)

Makes sense, it gets Lonzo off the tougher PGs, who KCP will be defending.

I love this for the Lakers.

Nevermind if they sign rondo, they'll be a 13 seed. nikka is a team cancer. You basically got young rondo in Lonzo anyway. Lakers should at least get a scoring pg to teach that nikka a thing or two

Magic won this offseason tbh.

We have a potential high scoring/ high flying offensive lineup now


Lonzo
KCP/Clarkson
Ingram
Randle/Nance
Lopez



with a bit of defensive balance when KCP Ingram and Zubac play together

 

[Stress Welker]

Welp C's fans' anxiety over the Lakers/Kings pick suddenly picked up.

They don't need that. Lonzo should be able to guard his man, he shouldn't be hid. KCP is a one year rental for a team that isn't near playoff ready. So what is the point?

They have Nwaba too who they are trying to develop.

Spurs has disappointed me this offseason

They don't have a pick next year, so they're trying to compete.

I doubt Lonzo will be able to check good PGs just yet

Nwaba and KCP are at the same age though.

There is no good reason NOT to like this move for the Lakers lmao

It's a one year deal and like someone said, if they strike out of big names he's a good insurance policy. Dude is perfect next to Lonzo and Ingram IMO
