    the lakers DO NOT need to play a traditional big. AD can play 5. i might feel better about this if tucker wasn't mid 30s or at least a few inches taller.

    People are just speculating right now. Of course we will try to get a center. That’s why we traded green and nene too. To make room for players. We can wait for the trade deadline or the buyout market.
    Ones the deadline passes for the buyout then we can complain about not having a center.

    IMO we need an athletic big like looney or timelord at least. So Harden and Russ can pass some lobs.
    But we seen that in the playoffs those lobs disappear and the spacing is reduced. And now with Russ the spacing would shrink even more.

    Dude, why are you always angry? lol

    It's ok to disagree.

    heck, I disagree with myself most of the time.

    Playing for next contract so which team makes them look best. Different types of centers and different types of roles. Rockets could offer starting spot to right fit, stats will plump up like Asik, Faried, Capela.

    Not such a place to stat pad in LAC.

    Lowe can go suck a dick.

    Making moves is ok. Constantly giving away assets to cut salary/corners as opposed to doing all you can to win....different story.

    William Howard will get a 3yr min deal, now. And we'll sign Clark back.

    He had to waive his veto rights to do this. Guessing there's a wink-wink that he'll get brought back if he wants.

    Short memory, eh?
    Seems I remember back just a few games ago that we spanked the Jazz
    with our small ball 'Ego' line up. (NO James, NO Russ and no Clint)

    Look, the Lakers are going to give EVERYBODY fits this year.
    That's all there is to it. Pairing LBJ with AD is just lethal.
    If you were expecting us to leap to the TOP of the heap in one move you're deluding yourself.
    Take a chill pill and try and enjoy our new lineup.

    Otherwise, you'll find yourself being talked down off a ledge somewhere . .
    like the rest of these guys on here

    Capela and the first round pick were the last positive assets that can bring meaningful upgrade. And Rockets just gave up both to aviod luxury tax. LOL. Your Houston Rockets and Tilman Ferttita guys.

    The space would only shrink because teams know Harden isn’t doing **** without the ball lol. Even with Russ in the floor you’d still have 4 shooters. How much space does One team need? Lol

    He's expiring and the suns aren't likely making the playoffs so why not get something for him?
