thoughts on getting Kessler and the other signings ?
love the kessler signing even if it's an overpay, i think he's a massive part of the future, i love that we're a lot younger as a whole now as well it should make finding guys in the following years a bit easier but these player options are crazy
rob can't help himself with the constant POs on EVERY DAMN SIGNING, showing his former agent pro player ass everytime
that collin sexton signing is a head scratcher though, he's an undersized 2 who isn't a good defender or even scrappy, i'd rather have rui back than sexton
if vando doesn't move atleast we get the full MLE again next year and we'll also have the BAE, we'll be able to add pieces over the next 2 summers and with the team being young nobody SHOULD be worse off/washed which is a nice change

How many times we gotta talk about next season before the off-season over?

we're 2-3 years away from being 2-3 years away 

"The team, according to league sources who were granted anonymity to freely discuss the Lakers’ offseason moves, is still seeking a young wing to help its perimeter defense.
A high-upside swing receiving significant consideration, per league sources, is former Golden State Warrior and Atlanta Hawk Jonathan Kuminga, whose $24.3 million team option was recently declined by Atlanta.

"None of the Lakers’ newly added players is older than Sexton — who will turn just 28 in January.
Getting players who align with Reaves and Dončić’s timeline was a large part of Los Angeles’ plan, according to team sources."
Rob Pelinka does not care about defense

While the age thing makes sense the roster construction is still a bit confusing lmao
