Lakers gonna have a deep ass bench again
Clarkson
Kuzma
Nance Jr
Zubac
Brewer
Deng
Who do u guys want Vander blue or Matt Thomas
Neither. Matt Thomas has zero NBA skills besides his shooting. Seemed like anytime he put the ball on the floor in summer league it lead to a turnover. He's also AWFUL on defense. There's about 20 Matt Thomas' in the G League.

Yeah blue looks like like a solid backup who can shoot/atk the rim
Yeah, I'll take a huge pass on Vander Blue.
1. He is extremely redundant with Jordan Clarkson.
2. He can't run an offense.
3. He is limited to only defending PG's and he's not very good at it.
4. All the shots he gets at the rim in summer league would get swatted in the NBA. There's a reason this guy has never gotten an extended look in the NBA despite gaudy G-League numbers.
Give me Ian Clark or Deron Williams for that backup PG spot and I'm extremely happy with our off-season(despite losing D'Lo who I was extremely high on).

Nance Jr is out in free agency.
I think Randle is much more likely to be out than Larry. The front office is putting a huge priority on cap space and Randle is a pending RFA. He's going to have a pretty large cap hold going into next off-season so he might end up being the casualty if the team is able to lure two max free agents.
I wouldn't be surprised if Randle plays half the season with Lonzo and puts up some monster numbers then the front office tries to sell high and package him in a deal to offload Deng's contract.
