No Mark Williams, Now What?

vinay dives into the data during the current 5 game win streak without anthony davis to help figure out what the lakers need to target on the buyout market

Thanks!

jaxson CANNOT get injured. he has been huge. so much more athletic than any other option. i can see him offsetting any defensive liability with his lob scoring from luka. he works hard and hustles which is more than we can say about williams. i'm relieved to get konecht back. great analysis

[@haroldtollefson7525]

Excellent analysis!

It feels like all the hard work the lakers have done this year was for nothing.

[@Blazin50s]

Nah, this season was very important in the long run. I’m not expecting a playoff run but Pelinka just insured that we’ll be competitive for the next 10 years.

[@coconutz247]

@@Blazin50s let's see how we do against denver before throwing in the towel. the westbrook/james experiment was a disaster. luka could be the same but it also could be something incredible.

[@Blazin50s]

@@coconutz247 Luka/Bron will work. The Organisation will force it to work if not. I just think when they can build a team around the duo this off season it’s going to be great.

You said it best out of all the podsters! Stats matter and you bring them! Thank Baby Jesus there are some that are not sheep and bring the facts!

[@gentlebld]

Great analysis! Could the Lakers just continue to invest in Trey Jemison and help him to develop? Hayes has gotten better at not fouling all the time. Could they make similar progress with Trey over the next couple of months?

This team was either a championship contender with gafford or if kleber went to a different team and we got into the buyout this season just got punted

[@EN_Reader12]

How would you feel about Drummond, and him potentially getting bought out, or even Jonas? Their contracts are understandably not within the framework of what you’ve suggested but they are both proven (albeit plodding) big bodies.

Waive Wood , Kleba is a better version of him
