I don't know randle is enough for another team to take on that horrible deng contract.


I agree. His pending RFA really limits his value. Would likely take a monster half season, an additional prospect, and/or a 1st rounder.

I would love to keep KCP long term. He's a rising two way star at the thinnest position. Peep this video! Got me hyped

the steps pelinka and magic have made in the past few months are huge. i'm really liking the roster and am finally excited for an upcoming lakers season again

lopez, KCP and lonzo should be instant contributors and subsequently could propel us into post-season hopes

i hope luke coaches the lakers for the next 2 decades too

Kyle Kuzma >

Ball impressed me with his court vision, passing ability, speed in open floor but his shooting mechanics is what bugs me.

Moreover, Kuzma is the real MVP, dude came from “nowhere“ huh.

Guys overrate Summer League.
Trust me, I want to believe, but I want to see Lonzo go up against NBA STARTING TALENT before I'm convinced.
Kuzma ain't scoring 15 per game in the regular season.

Court vision is given with birth, you can hardly learn it. Well to an extent yes but to be pro at it, no.

I do agree that we need to see Ball and Kuzma going against the rest of the NBA before making any further assumption.

Lakers looking at Derick Rose, i don't think he would fit into our system.

Apparently they had a 3 hour meeting with him today. Hopefully he doesn't sign here.

Lakers also met with Ian Clark today, who I would be much happier in signing

Not sure what is there to not like about Clark other than the fact that he's not really a PG. You probably don't need a real PG anyways with JC dominating the ball off the bench. Clark can spot up, defend, and already understands Luke's offense. He's about as good of a fit as there is at this point in the off season.
