Reed and Trent Jr need to be the priority. Reed is an elite backup big

[@marus3953]

We need a center.

I know fucking click bait I hope these content users lose ppl

[@bigdawggydog]

If they get Reed & Trent they would have an amazing job. Not sure how realistic but I rather have 2 solid role players for them & add to depth

[@MisterW-24]

1) Try to find a way to keep Wood and replace with Hayes. 2) Rui/Vincent/Two 2ndRPs or 1stRP&2ndRP for Jerami Grant.

[@tosinshotit4308]

Keep wood makes the most sense, Rui should be no 1 to be traded because of AD and Bron playing the 4 and 5 and Rui can’t play 3 well trade Rui make wood back up 4

[@gregbors8364]

Blazers will make that trade right now for two first round picks and salary filler

[@tosinshotit4308]

@@gregbors8364 yeah that’s highly a over paid

What about Lakers receive: Jerami Grant, Jevon Carter and the bulls 2029 second round pick Blazers receive: Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, their own first round pick back from the bulls, the bulls 2028 first round pick, the lakers 2029 First round pick Bulls receive: D’Angelo Russell Rui Hachimura and Robert Williams III

[@ashtondunson2932]

Paul reed is a very underrated pick up he’d be great!

[@tosinshotit4308]

Correct me if I’m wrong but does letting go of wood make sense ? He’s a big that can shoot that wasn’t utilized well at all a great rebounder can give you 15 ppg on a minimum why just dump him??

[@jamesmaglinao3264]

Wood's salary would open up the TPMLE not Hayes unfortunately

[@CJofVivaLV]

Lakers roster building is confusing. They are going to dump a 6-10/6-9 guys in Woods/Cam for another SG in GTJ? Have no trouble moving off of Woods/Cam. However, isn’t Lakers greatest need backup C and 3D? Doesn’t this move a ridiculous Guard heavy roster? Not to mention they just resigned Christie for $7M/yr plus draft Knecht. GTJ takes away minutes from them. My basic question is shouldn’t any trade/signing make sense from a roster depth standpoint? Is the GTJ signing an indication Lakers also plan to trade away one of their guards? Maybe Vincent? AD has been pushing for another big and Lakers see adding another SG? If Lakers are signing GTJ, it should be to replace another SG currently on the roster. Trading Woods/Cam should be a move to get another big …. Unless, Lakers are looking to move Woods/Cam/Gabe at the same time … ok, then I could see signing GTJ Again, how does a Laker move affect the Roster depth? Lakers should be focused on replacing Rob with maybe the GM from OKC (Sam Presti) or some other GM.

[@doc-vg9lq]

they can get Bertans super cheap too. i think he was just waived.

[@AaronPlay]

I’ve been high on Gary Trent Jr. for a couple years. It’s inconsistent, but his offensive game speaks for itself. More importantly he’s capable of being a very good defender. Not hypothetically. When he’s locked in his footwork is excellent, great reaction time, sees rotations well. JJ and co would just have a tall order to bring that out. Paul Reed isn’t it though.

[@lerob6510]

Reed, jGrant and Trent jr we in the finals for Dlo, Rui, Wood and Reddish, JHS All of these guys have the Athletic abilities for this age of NBA Reed , AD, Bron, Grant, Trentjr thats a legit line up

[@dustinmanansala1183]

We need to move or cut wood cam reddish..and sign paul reed garry trent and marcus Morris

[@bouncehoops6575]

What i think is a big and athletic center and not a small size centers just like what you put in your video. 6’11 and above with a play style like dwight howard can be a better option

[@MrMinty827]

1. For the PG/SG position, I'd consider Gary Trent Jr. I'd also consider looking at Anfernee Simons, who I heard about recently, specifically being a potential free agent, as well as LAL being one of the few teams currently looking at him. Simons is definitely a much better upgrade compared to D'Lo: Athletic, fast, 3 level scoring guard, with the ability to be an efficient sharpshooter, just under 39% from 3pt range, fairly better playmaker, a 22+ppg scorer as well. He and GTJ should be one of the top priorities in my opinion. 2. When C-Wood originally got signed to the Lakers, he was initially supposed to get the start next to AD, so that AD can stick to the PF position, where he's most comfortable at. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and he was given a bench role. in a few big time games, most notably against the Clippers, Suns and Bucks in the regular season, he's shown to be a very reliable help defender, as well as a very capable perimeter and interior defender, especially against players like KD, PG, and D-Book. He also proved to be a versatile 2-way stretch PF/C that can also hit the occasional 3, despite this season being a season low. If you put him amongst the starters and grant him more minutes, he would've definitely been a more efficient 3pt scorer, and overall scoring big. He averaged around 17-18ppg in his last 2 seasons, as well as around 37% from 3pt range before he got to LAL. Those stats were primarily because...HE WAS A STARTER!!!!!!!!!!! Lakers need to put him next to AD. 3. Idk why they're choosing to prioritize Hayes over Christian Wood, that shit honestly doesn't make sense to me at all. Hayes doesn't have a specific skill or attribute that really stands out to other teams. The highest number on his stat sheets is his overall FG percentage, which was about 72% last season. Not at all bad, but alot of that is accredited to most of his offense coming from alley-oops and dishes. Defensively, he had a couple good plays, but not really anything that jumped out at you. He was also a flashy highlight reel dunker, and not exactly a bad player, but I would look to trade him away. 4. There's still a few notable, under-the-radar free agents still lurking that I still think the LAL should look into; Robert Covington, KJ Martin and Cameron Johnson. The 1st 2 guys have veteran minimums as their current contract projection, which is more than affordable. 5. Trade D'Lo, Hayes and Vincent.

[@ismaelaristilde9963]

*Unpopular Opinion* 1) You run Dlo until trade deadline, in my opinion he is one of the best pg options for us. 2) You trade Rui, Gabe, and (unfortunately) Vando in order to acquire Brandon Ingram. 3) Offer taxpayer MLE to Gary Trent Jr. Starters: PG Dlo SG Trent Jr. SF BI PF Bron C AD 4) You still have 1 roster spot to get a back up big if possible with whatever salary we have left

[@williambreeze2659]

I'd like to have a solid backup center, unless Jaxson can take the next step forward.

[@josephmiller4811]

Lakers should look 👀 at Colin Sexton, Jalen Suggs, Tyrus Jones or Lonzo Ball buyout. I would personally look into Anthony Simon's & Jermi Grant both in a trade, center maybe Wendell Carter Jr, Nick Richards, Kessler Walker. Jeannie Buss 🚌 if Rob Penlinka cannot get something done she and Lakers organization need to look at Rob Penlinka.

[@KA-zg8xx]

The Orlando Magic aren't making Jalen Suggs available.

[@raiders2011able]

Great options bro, I’d be fine if any of these targets were picked up 👍🏾, Love the content be smooth

[@christianguliman8385]

the problem of the lakers was that they put player option in hayes, wood and reddish deal thats why they cant explore well in signing legit players

[@lildex1633]

I think wood can actually have a good role here under JJ RED-DICK with the spacing offense that he want to run.. I think with bron off the floor wood and AD actually worked pretty well together but Ham didn't use it enough or get the best out of it. MAYBE JJ can before we simply salary dump wood. Reddish on the contrary can go for free cause Ham actually used him way more than he should've and he did not do enough for the team. The kid has potential but i'm tired of players that have demons to exercise before reaching their peak. LONZO, BEN SIMMONS, REDDISH, AND in my opinion BRONNY is looking like he's going to be in that same category but i hope i'm wrong the worst way.

[@vasheed]

Reed/Achua too small to fill the center role the Lakers need. Trent long time persued, doesn't fit a need and doesn't play D to make it worth considering. Osman could somewhat make sense at SF but not a high priority. Lakers need a point of attack defender and a true Center with shooting being great but ability to anchor a defense first priority while Davis sits .

[@starmanx25]

I rather have gary trent for the MLE than klay for $50M and 3 years. The lakers not getting klay has been way overblown.

@@JSM24 yo thats worth a video. I gotta feeling by time offseason is over the lakers had a good offseason, yet all we hear in the media is the lakers missed on all worthwhile attempts. Meanwhile the "available" players we need are actually still available i think. We need two way players and klay is kinda done, defensively. He was never our best option.
