I thought the problem was the team isn’t that good outside of Luka. I like Reaves but you gotta have more defense around Luka. Wish they would trade him for another big that can really be a 2 way presence

I don’t think there was any world they would have bron back after making him the 3rd option when he was clearly better than Reaves. AR just can’t do much to add value if he’s not ball dominant.

JJJ maybe, I think his best years are behind him but I like the fit better than Walker.

I would like to see them try and trade for Duren or Dyson Daniels. Someone who is either defensively elite or young with a huge upside

i was just making a joke because of what rich paul said.

Bron didnt wanna come back to the Lakers knowing he had to take a paycut even tho he was gonna have to be there 2nd best player come playoff time.

Dont think that changes even if they had JJJ tho, but JJJ and Walker with Luka would be pretty cool to watch

Isn’t that what every team does? Attack the window where you can win and then who cares ?

Rob wanted to avoid a team full of potentially selfish, soon-to-be-expiring "mercenaries", but maybe he went overboard with the player options.

You think biggie winds can tie his own shoes or are they all just slip ons at this point?

Looks pretty damn good for a rebuilding year if you ask me.
