i will never understand the fascination with mo bamba some laker fans have

he will be out of the nba in a couple of years

I'm cool on all that, I'm here for basketball

Plus, I do my altruism offline

I think I could live with Saric

We already got the rim runner with Hayes, Saric would bring something else.

He had a song named after him so there’s that

I just hate that Hayes is our "bruiser" option, but I'm trying to stay optimistic and hope Handy can perform another miracle

It’s not most ideal.

Just gotta hope leaving the Pelicans program and joining ours can light a fire in him.

Love the positivity

Can’t be too mad at the end of the bench when we filled out the rest of the roster so well

I'm not mad at the pick up at all. I love players that have potential to fill, Jaxson just not high on my list to believe in

But Cam is

Cam said he got a phone call from Darvin Ham. Once he got the phone call to come to LA it was a no brainer.

Hayes also says he’s talked with “Coach Ham and they have gotten close. He says coach plans to use him at the 4 and 5 in his offense. Talked about switching 1-5 on defense.”

Taurean Prince speaks on his mindset and his defense

Gabe says he was intrigued by the Lakers size, athleticism, & leadership. Says he brings defense & make open shots while impacting winning with any group on the floor”

@Silas

Well it sounds like everyone is bought into playing defense. That’s awesome.

“The goal is to play, like I said at my exit interview, as much basketball as I can in terms of winning on the floor,” Christie said last week after a summer league practice. ”So whatever that takes. Whether that’s defense, shooting, being a leader. Whatever it is, I’m willing to do it because I want to be on that floor and I want to contribute to winning.”

This summer, Christie said the goal is to show he can do more than just catch and shoot — even though he knows that’s the clearest pathway to finding minutes alongside LeBron James and Davis this season.

Center options that remain:

Top Tier options- Christian Wood - not really great on defense but would be a slam dunk bench addition for the minimum

Dario Saric- more offensive minded but a solid team player. Skilled and can space the floor. Would be nice to keep him away from the Warriors too. Title team type of role player

Darius Bazley- might be undersized as a 5 but he has game as a big. Klutch client

Other options - vets who might have a role as defender, boards, vet leadership in locker room
Biyombo
Serge Ibaka
Dewayne Dedmon
Boban Marjanovic
Gorgui Dieng
Nerles Noel
Meyers Leonard
Willie Cauley Stein
Gorgui Dieng
Noah Vonleh
Tristan Thompson

A couple young guys who just need a chance:
Moses Brown
Udoka Azubuike - former 1st round pick buried behind Jazz depth at center
Jay Huff
Bol Bol
Tony Bradley

Outside the box options;
Jahlil Okafor - could be a feel good story story. Has the size and length to hang with Joker

Dwight Howard
Hassan Whiteside

says the guy crying about Mo Bamba getting waived

Wait until MoBamba get 10 boards, 3 blocks a game this upcoming year….

What on earth makes you think he will get enough playing time for that behind Joel Embiid ctfu

He played 9 games for us last season and averaged 4 points, 5 rebounds, and less than a block per game. Let it go man
