    Bronny spoke about the importance of staying aggressive and trusting his game offensively, and just defending in the manner that he already knows how. He noted that he couldn't get the 3 to fall today (0 for 3), but trusts all the reps he's had will pay off soon.

    Dalton Knecht said he was just happy to get back onto a court for the first time since March. He missed shots he expects to make, but made plays out of screen/roll action and got to some of the spots he likes.

    Bronny James on the biggest surprise in his summer league debut: "Maybe the atmosphere. It was more than I expected. I mean, it's a big game for me, but I didn't know if people from Golden State would come and rep for me. So that was pretty nice to see."

    According to Jovan Buha and Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Lakers are interested in guards Gary Trent Jr. and Spencer Dinwiddie provided they are able to clear enough space to gain usage of their taxpayer midlevel exception.

    I like Gary Trent Jr. but I hate his jumper on 2k

    I honestly don't think we need a SG

    -we need to give Max Christie minutes. Not knowing your role has hurt Max. We paid Max, its time to play him. Reaves is also a more natural SG, and DLO is a SG too. Dalton and Cam also can play SG

    -I wouldn't even trade the farm for SF. I'm high on Maxwell. I think he should get a chance to get minutes. I think his ceiling is to be just as good as Jerami Grant, he just needs a role like Max. Vandy will be back and I think he starts. Dalton will be in the mix at both wing spots. RUI will also eat minutes at both forward spots. Just know what ever forward we trade for, he will have to defer to Lebron.

    • I'm all for adding a star but the market is tough. Good starters are being traded for 5 1 st rounders. I'm good off all that. I think we try to develop our young core to compliment our two stars AD and Lebron. I think trade targets should be a center, or an electric point guard. we were knocked out twice by Joker who always goes off on us. AD is athletic to play 4 and have a real advantage but we haven't added a good center in awhile. DLO and Reaves are more SG who play PG. both are talented but suck at defense. they don't really break down a defense either. Lebron is driving less as he gets older. I think a stud PG could put everything together. I think this team has talent, and the stars. maybe we can add a piece, but I'm not trying to blow the team up for a star again like the Westbrook trade.

    I think moving DLO and Rui to the bench to anchor the team, adding Knecht, and giving Clear roles to Hayes/Max , getting Vandy and Vincent back from injuries would do wonders. Plus a new coach

    As I mentioned before, the Lakers were crippled with their ability to complete moves this summer.

    Blow it up next summer please.

    I just wish we could move Bronny to a 2 way spot. I would drop Castleton. I don't see it with that guy. Not athletic enough, weak too, below the rim player. Bring in a vet for the minimum with the roster spot. Spencer back

    Moving them to the bench didn't work last year

    because we didnt have Knecht and Vandy to eat up SF minutes, and we didnt have a PG. Ham was a moron

    They weren't crippled by anyone but themselves, need new management and FO

    I want them 2 gone but if we're stuck with them they have to start. I'm intrigued but not sold on Knecht yet

    it's about balance. RUI is a solid player but we need a wing defender so I think Vandy should start. I think RUI as a super 6th man role. I'm over DLO too. I hope we can trade him off. He should just be a Jamal Crawford role if we can't flip him.

    I still think these are good trade targets

    Deandre Hunter - is in a bench role but I think he can thrive as our starting SF as a defensive guy who can hit 3s

    Marrkanen, Ayton - Blazers just drafted their center

    Brogdon , Cam Johnson Marvin Bagley , Darius Garland

    I would even try to package DLO, filler for Ben Simmons expiring.

    I like majority of these guys but I'd definitely look into trading for either of a combination of Hunter/Garland/Johnson or Ayton even if it takes Knecht and/or JHS

    Then still try to add GTJ for Cam
