I haven't thought too deeply about Murray, although I think he actually DOES move the needle on this team, just for the fact that he's not a guy that just disappears offensively, and is a pretty good POA defender, meaning he's literally an upgrade over Cam.
However, to your point, I've been saying that the Lakers should shore up around the edges, and get guys like Dorian Finney Smith, guys that don't appear to be big names, but solve certain issues that we have, such as no POA defender that is also a threat on the offensive end.
Giving up Dennis Schroder was also another stupid mistake. Only me and the breh
@Regular_P were singing Dennis' praises all last year, and now we see the cost of losing him. Getting him back would be a huge benefit-- DS hounding opponent guards who then switch into Vando guarding them is a luxury.
Dejounte, Schroder, and DFS are enough to make the Lakers into a serious contender for a WCF run.
Also acquiring Bogdonavic and another center (Dwight, Drummond, Capela) would make the Lakers into a title contender.
I think we could potentially acquire all these guys (Dejounte, DS, DFS, Bogdan, another Center), and if they do, this alters the season.
