While I like the players mentioned, lakers should not sign any of them except KCP. Lakers have enough “1 way” players. I doubt Lakers would land KCP at this point… I’ll keep dreaming though!

[@carrastealth]

Replace Gabe Vincent with Malik Monk and Lonnie Walker IV. Their contracts combined would equal that Gabe's :3

[@JSM24]

Monk is a free agent and will be commanding up to $25M per reports. He’s not a realistic target at all, unfortunately.

[@Fotosynthesis858]

The Kings ain’t letting go of Monk to a hated western conference rival. Especially the Lakers. Especially if they have to face us in the Playoffs. Hell no

[@Meru112]

@@JSM24Naz Reid got a 3yr/$41m extension, so I don’t think Monk should make anything more than $15m per year if he’s not even as valuable as the best 6th man in the league

[@yrcddai914]

Bro who tf the laker think they is people not about keep signing these small contract just to get let gon

[@dadonreiatasupremedag1334]

[@asunthegreat5893]

Lonnie Walker 1V and Jordan Clarkson

[@jadenng7569]

KCP would be my most ideal target. Lonnie would be nice too.

[@Sportsfan-cm5up]

Lonnie was great but ham didn’t recognized his game until the season was almost over. He also won game 4 against warriors for the lakers

[@ThePrivateryan]

Agreed.

[@djonyx6770]

JSM I appreciate you keeping the Stanley Johnson campaign alive. Dude is big, strong and a more consistent shooter than half the guys we put on the floor this year.

[@MKIVD]

Just have him focus on working on his 3 point shooting in the offseason. He'll take the KCP, Caruso role

[@csnodgers9025]

Stanley Johnson sucks.

[@adalbertportento8303]

LA LAKERS! STRIKE BACK NEXT SEASON WATCH OUT!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮

[@8red227]

Stanley Johnson can actually play the SG position, so instead of going for KCP I rather sign stanimal because he’s younger and taller

[@kosmique]

i dont care about anything as long as we obtain stanley johnson. he was just too damn good with us.

[@TimetototallywatchCinema]

Nope Do not Want Beasley Back. He’s basically Dlo if he was just supposed to be a 3pt sniper. Streaky. He literally has games do straight cardio in a lakers jersey.

[@djonyx6770]

They should’ve never given up on him. He had a career year this very next season. This says more about lakers coaching staff not being able to get him comfortable.

[@CBoogie91]

​@djonyx6770 been saying this, they never ran any sets for him, just catch and shoot threes with the clock running down, no one will be able to get in a rhythm like that

[@kosmique]

we better off with lonnie / stanley. more size better D and also proven shooters playing for us. them or kcp. nothing against beasley but the other people listed just make more sense imo.

[@MegaSaiyanpride]

All I care about for now is getting a solid back up center so Ad can go back to playing the 4 also while ad is on the bench we will have a guy that still be a great rim protector and can grab rebounds. I’d also love to see Lonnie come back he’s really great off the bench and isn’t a liability on defense. I also wouldn’t mind looking into trading for a guy like mikell bridges from the nets I don’t think we have to give up a lot for him either

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

Remember guys. We dont have ANY MONEY!!! with the exception of maybe a mid level contract & some vet minimums so just keep that in mind. Rob squandered most of our tradable assets. Drummond, Stanley Johnson & Lonnie are definately realistic guys we could land given our limited cap space. But we need to see how the rest of the roster shakes out after this draft

[@timraschke2915]

Love to have Stanley Johnson back because of his hustle

[@MR.porkJR]

As this point lakers wants every one

[@NCOMBHOODIE]

Lonnie walker and kcp would feed families

[@irenemcduffie4624]

Malik Monk and Drummond

[@Blazin50s]

The entitlement of our fanbase is almost disrespectful 😂. You really said Malik Beasley. Why would KCP come back? It’s been a mess since he left and the Nuggets clearly value him.

[@BenzBavtista21]

Rooting for Stanley Johnson then try to trade for Steven Adams for legit & quality big

[@Meru112]

been saying this: Steven Adams is the perfect big man we need, only making $12m per year, if they can make the cap stuff work, he’s the perfect bruiser/rebounder to put next to AD and he has no ego and doesn’t need any shots, can play 20-25min per game, good locker room guy, guards Jokic pretty well… he’s the perfect fit

[@kosmique]

stanley the manley and adams sounds damn good.

[@csnodgers9025]

Am I missing something with Stanley Johnson ? How does his skill set help the Lakers ? The dude can't shoot and he isn't better than Cam Reddish. Not a fan of Cam but he's better than Stanley Johnson.

[@dominicjherr]

While I like KCP, and LW4, I would prefer the Lakers to look for bigger SF's, over more guards. As of now, we already have AR, and I believe that Max should see more prominence in the rotation. With the 2 spot covered, the Lakers should focus on shoring up the 1(depending on what happens to DLo) and 3 (depending on what happens to Reddish/Prince), in regards to the perimeter. And, of course, try to find a capable big to help in the frontcourt.

[@alfredbrownii1293]

Yes 2025 championship lakers

[@CrowKage8]

Trade Rui, Gabe and picks for Mikal bridges. Retain Dlo and put AR off the bench with Max Christie. Sign Drummond then you got your 3 bigs with AD and Wood

[@Xev2691]

Dlo i would say nah, he would fade off during post season due to intensity. Bron seems to be okay with ar running the offense in late game. i rather ar take over pg role and focus on getting better 2,3 and backup 5.

[@kosmique]

this bs narrative about dlo fading in playoffs lol. people said that abt him before he came to us.... funny enough the bigger half of his playoff experience came from his 2 seasons with us just now. so how and tf is that even possible he was considered a bad playoff playe with just 17 games under his name on a dysfunctional teams like the nets a few yrs back.

[@CrowKage8]

@@kosmique exactly! He’s given everything that you need from a point guard - Playmaking without turning the ball over and space the floor. And mind I remind everyone, you get that for just 18 million. I want Dlo to stay with a real coach this time plus put Vando back at the starting lineup with another two way 2 guard like Mikal

[@kosmique]

get stanley back on the team asap...i have been saying this ever since.... even lebron gave him massive flowers on his podcast the other day.

[@franciscoperez6409]

I like all this signs and trade or vet minimum signing.

[@broderickjohnson1427]

Walker and Johnson are my wants...

[@ThePrivateryan]

Uhg! I think, barring a miracle it's going to be another long season and short post season for the Lakers.

[@kendelljonas3222]

Bring Lonnie and Malik Monk back

[@YashayahuYisrael]

Bring back Dwight Howard and Javale Mcgee

[@TheQuickyouknow]

Drum has no hands, I just remember dude never catching the lobs Bron would throw him. McGee and Dwight never missed those lobs.

[@MrMinty827]

1. Resign Andre Drummond and Lonnie Walker IV, they both have former chemistry with the LAL, and were both pretty solid players in my opinion, despite Drummond only playing about 32 combined games with them. Walker was a very decent offensive player, and an "ok" defender when he actually committed to it, and a very great transition player and slasher, and had the ability to contribute to closing games when it counted most. Drummond was a pretty good secondary helper and PF/C backup for Anthony Davis, and a great rebounder to his credit. If he woulda played a full season, I definitely think they coulda went farther in the postseason. 2. Trade D'Lo so that the $18.7 million can be brought back, as well as Dinwiddie, Jaxson Hayes, Mays and a couple other rookies to prepare a solid deal in order to potentially reacquire KCP back. All the money from those contracts can be used to not only resign KCP, but also a great diverse mix of 3&D players, and a couple vets. That's around $28-30 million in bread that they can use to dish out a few veteran minimum contracts, while also having the possibility of reacquiring KCP. Hypothetically speaking, lets say LBJ agrees to a 10-12% "pay cut" to help add money to the potential contract signings, which can be around $16-19 million+, at that point you'll have the $15 million for KCP, and can easily sign about 2, 3 maybe 4 other good players on either veteran minimums, OR even low paying multiyear deals. 3. The Lakers really need to be pushing to resign Dwight Howard. he's still playing at fairly high level, despite his age, still capable of being a defensive menace even at 38 yrs old, and still possesses his athleticism and efficient scoring potential. He's also an almost certified lob threat, and can be a terror in the dunkers spot, and makes other dominant PF/Cs have to work for their shot much harder, which can result in a bunch of easy offensive plays. He was also one of the KEY FACTORS during the 2020 Championship run, and can add to the depth that they have at the PF/C positions, while playing off the bench. 4. I believe Kelly Oubre Jr and Robert Covington would be a couple smart additions to sign for wing depth and floor spacing abilities, as well as perimeter defense. Covington averaged nearly 2.0SPG in about 30 games with the LAC, but missed most of the season via bone bruise. He's also defensive minded, can shoot corner 3s at a very efficient clip, almost 42%, from there, and around 36% from 3pt range overall the past 3 seasons, while also being a good cutter and passing lane pest. Oubre Jr on the other hand, is much younger, more athletic, has a good mix of speed, height, length and scoring ability that can help in closing out critical games on both ends of the floor, and can play off the bench like he did in Philly. Those are 2 easy quick veteran minimum contracts you can dish out right now, that I think are easy steals. 5. the Lakers should also look into signing KJ Martin, he could potentially be a hidden piece. He can basically just camp in the dunkers spot whenever he can, due to a near 40 inch vertical at 6'6 215lbs. He can basically be what Aaron Gordon is to the Nuggets, for the Lakers, while having a veteran minimum as his projected salary. When he was traded to Philly from Houston, I feel like that really impacted his potential, especially since Philly gave his shitty minutes, and he only averaged 3PPG and 2RPG, which is stupendously horrific given the fact that Houston gave him around 22-25mpg, and he was averaging 10.2PPG/4.9RPG/1.3APG while shooting 34.5% from 3pt range, and 53.7% FG. He's also a solid defender, and has shown the ability to defend even the much taller PF/Cs, seeing that he's basically an undersized 4. 6. Give Max Christie a more assertive role, potentially with the second unit, and give him 20+mpg.

[@mr.t107]

KCP would be amazing

[@lerob6510]

NBA is a guards game ! In Ja, Jamal, Tyrese Max,Tysere H,SGH,Booker,Trae,Steph,Dame,Ant if you dont got a big, strong ,lengthy guards defender that can shoot 3's at least againts these folks. You got no chance

[@dex3779]

if we cant' get mitchell we should try to see if we can get Derozan caruso and Drumond in a package deal.

[@djonyx6770]

I honestly feel like Stanley Johnson is better than Cam Reddish in every way. Why did Rob give Cam a player option again?

[@Darkangels5684]

Your welcome

[@williammontano7863]

If the Lakers could salary dump Gabe, Walker would be ideal off the bench..

[@meanxbean]

Dwight didn’t even make the playoffs in Taiwan or whatever 😂. Plus, I see your point about packaging up our contracts, but NO ONE is going to take those scrubs from us in exchange for a serviceable role player, they barely got playing time with us

[@TheWetNomadXD]

As long as we don’t get other Big to play alongside AD were still gonna be ass lol
