What can the Lakers do to perfect the team?

[ArbitraryWater]

The roster is loaded and very very good right now.

What possible moves do you see could be done to hone out the final edges and perfect them?


I feel for example Rui and Beasley are slighty redundant/similar. They play different positions but do much of the same. Rui is a cool piece at PF.

Beasley is pretty inefficient. Maybe get a 3&D guy there. Monk back would be great. Troy Brown Jr. coud be exchanged for more size or shooting. Mo Bamba for Whiteside or Turner (lol).


That would make them OP.

loaded ??
Sounds like they are on a dynasty run reading your posts. :facepalm

If I owned the Lacky's , I would build around Russell , and move each and everyone of the rest of the roster and acquire draft picks , and
lock down a viable center not named AD.

we know you would, gramps

[HoopologyPhD]

With a few small moves, I can see this roster being approved by LeGM next season

PG-Steph Curry
SG- Bronny James
SF-Durant
PF-GOAT
C-Embiid

They need another big on the roster. I'd take a shot at Cousins.

Whiteside brings less of a character. They dont need Cousins to muddle things up.

Why are you so interested in the lakers all of the sudden?

they both muddle and why Whiteside is in Puerto Rico and Cousins at home. I'd get rid of Lebron and Davis for whatever any team is stupid enough to give you for them and go from there.

:crazysam::crazysam:




Mavs not gonna do anything as currenty constructed. Waiting for Joker and Luka to team up and reign.


Until then, might as we infuriate the Bron haters.

Whiteside puts up numbers but he's a very low IQ player. He was solid in Utah last year and actually a net-positive player in the RS, but I personally like Cousins' character and his ability to space the floor more. He was supposed to be on that championship team but tore his ACL, I'd like to finally see him in a Laker uni.

Whiteside was awful last year. He should have been one of the best players in the league. He hasn't been. I wouldn't touch the guy! I'd probably take Cousins over him and I'd want nothing to do with him either

Whiteside is a shotbocker which the Lakers coud use more. Hes better defensively. They dont really need another shot creator.

shot blocker not rim protector. He's probably better defensively than Cousins but that's not saying much

Every great shotblocker is at least solid rim protector. Thats how you protect rims, with the threat of being able to block shots.

He quickly realized the Luka thing wasn't working out and LeBron falling off a cliff didn't come to fruition so he wasn't going to "win" arguments on here. He's going for the "told you they would win" jackpot now.

Quite the dilemma.

One of the worst attempts at psycho-analysis ever, probably.

[NBAGOAT]

Say goodbye to bamba and Lonnie. Resign Russell for like 3yrs 75 and Reaves Hachimura Dennis Troy brown on small contracts. Reaves will make like full mle(11 mil) Hachimura tpmle(7mil), Dennis tpmle(7 mil), Troy bae(4.5mil). Can consider wenyen on min but first goal is some vet min backup center.

Later during season you should look for an upgrade at 2 for beasley+bench guy. I’m fine with keeping beasley but 15mil could be used a bit better. Lazy answer but buddy hield would be nice but hard to pull off since I don’t really want to attach a 1st. Gary Trent would work too but he’s getting signed this offseason by a team that won’t trade him

[Full Court]

Put Lebron on the bench. Bring him in the game when they need a scoring kick. They'd be unbeatable if they did that.

[SATAN]

If AD could play 2 games in a row it would be helpful...

Trade lecancer for value

Trade lecancer for value

It would be value just to be off his contract. Davis too

[ArbitraryWater]

yea Beasley gotta go

[ImKobe]

He wasn't that bad in the RS as they were winning with him on the floor, but there's a reason he's not been on a team since. He looked terrible in the Playoffs. He had great On/Off numbers n had his most efficient (66%TS) RS tho. Surprised no one picked him up, looks like he's going to play in Puerto Rico lol.

[Wally450]

Wait until next year, because this year aint it lol.

wasn't bad if you're reading box scores. If you watched the actually games he was a bum. Should have been one of the best players in the league. I'd never want anything to do with him.

Beasley has to go and Cousins or Whiteside should be signed! :lol

Trade Bran for a team dumb enough to want him for pieces

[Street Hunger]

The Lakers roster isn't "loaded." They have 38-year-old LeBron, regularly injured Anthony Davis, and two guards who are borderline decent, and bench filler.

[bison]

Beasley has to go and Cousins or Whiteside should be signed! :lol

The lakers low IQ fanbase (of which I am an exception) would actually go for this.

[Manny98]

They just need to be healthy

Lebron AD and quality role players can beat anyone
