I think we are okay if we can get a starting center for the MLE. If we smart we can find a backup center for cheap

Rob is gonna use the mark williams package on a center I think.

“ Brook Lopez has agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal with the Los Angeles…”

“… Clippers”

:vlosereave:

What center are even on the trade block? I really want Ayton. Maybe could trade a future pick for Robert Williams. I’m drawing a blank on centers. That center in Atlanta who played at usc

I’ll take Ayton

we really don't have a choice anymore

all the backup centers are gone

if Ayton doesn't sign, then we're basically f***ed unless he makes a trade

Rob fell asleep its over

You can tell DFS is going decline. He might have 1-2 more good years but 4 years was crazy

This roster is so f***ed. Have to find a way to trade Austin for some value.

Moving Jared off the books is a must, his contract next year takes away money and his value is simply not worth a penny towards the Lakers in late April.

Starting Level Centers Left:
DeAndre Ayton, Al Hortford

Backup Centers:
Mason Plumlee, Thomas Bryant, Daniel Theis, Sandro Mamukelashhvili, Marvin Bagley, Mo Bamba, Orlando Robinson, Moussa Diabte, Kai Jones, Christian Wood, James Wiseman, Guerschon Yabusele, Chris Boucher, Larry Nance, Trey Lyles, Bol Bol, Ben Simmons

Other free agents of note
THT SG, Gary Trent SG, Lonnie Walker SG, Tim Hardaway SG, Amir Coffey SG, Eric Gordon SG, BJ Boston SG, Dalano Benton SG, Tre Mann PG, Malcolm Brogdon PG, Dante Exum PG

got no faith in this season bc we praying on a f***ing Ayton signing. f*** Rob

we could also trade for one

Pelinka is a terrorist

I feel like Timelord is fated to us, but if he pull off Walker Kessler Rob might be an Evangelist deity

SOON

I think we have a chance if we get Ayton. If we don't land Ayton, we probably trade Reaves for a center

That Zubac trade has to be the worse trade in franchise history

Bane was traded for 4 unprotected 1st. Would you do 4-5 first for Reaves if a team offered. We would Knecht at SG and hope we can land a few stars with those picks

Lakers have repeatedly said they're not trading him

Reaves is basically an expiring contract right now and he's making too little so Lakers wouldn't even get a quality center unless he's part of a bigger package.

The Lakers, according to team sources, offered two years against the four-year, $53 million deal he [Finney-Smith] got with Houston because they wanted to maintain as much future flexibility as possible to be in position to land a superstar down the line to pair with Dončić.
