Yes I remember how bad he was defensively. But he could have helped when we went on those scoring droughts.

Maybe.. I was okay with him going, but wish we can find someone that's in his ballpark offensively who can be an average defensive big, I think we both are in agreement on that.

What kind of big would you wanna target and see what we can do with them.. Naz Reid, Jakob Poeltl are my 2 names

TB was unplayable in the regular season against random C's on the defensive end.. what makes you think he would have been playable in a playoff game against Jokic when our entire issue was we need a backup 5 who can give you solid defensive effort

That’s not true. We could’ve utilized him as a stretch 5 regardless.

We can’t afford any of those guys and retain our players. Naz Reid is going back to Minnesota and if not, I don’t see how the Kings don’t sign him.

Yeah MN probably retains Naz Reid, but that type of player is someone we need to go after instead of trying to go all in on Kyrie or Trae Young

We were begging for Wenyen min during the stretch where TB came back down to earth offensively

Can't keep Reaves, Rui, AND sign Draymond. We don't have the capspace unless someone takes a deal WAY under market value (not happening).

Draymond is too short we saw what AD did to him in the warriors series. Jokic would do the same if not worse. We need height

Back up big
Find some value 3 and Ds
Denver exposed the flaws.
AD can't do it alone and Jokic could pass to a bunch of tall shooters.
Gotta at least make it even.

Edit: I'm for retaining Walker. He needs consistent playing time and he'll even out. He earned a chance

Honestly wished Dwight would come back and be our backup C he's one of the few that handled defending Joker well. We need a back bad and some better consistent shooters

Lakers won’t that series agains the Nuggets in 2020 because of Dwight and McGee. AD showed up but this series strongly illustrated he doesn’t want to play the 5 against Denver.

Rui on Jokic was fukked up from the start.

Potential for LeBron to be out for 2 months post surgery.. I'm curious when he actually would get the surgery, and what kind of timeline he would have when getting back into game shape


Would he hold off on it for awhile and miss maybe the first couple weeks of the regular season, or jump right into surgery soon and prep. I think this was a big motivator for LeBron saying he has a lot to think about in regards to coming back

Laker fans, we got a bunch of Bron stans who post up here throwing shots at Bean in various threads. Y’all can converse with these nikkas but I’m out. I wish we could have a Laker fan only thread

Damn D'lo, he fuked up his own bag
