Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2021 3:33 pm Post subject: What new face will join the Lakers' team roster in the 22/23 season?
The Lakers have only three players guaranteed to be on the roster for the 22/23 NBA season: LeBron, AD, and THT (barring a trade).
That means up to twelve slots will be filled by mercenaries yet again next year as the front office stays flexible to maximize our team's chances to win rings with the elite duo at the top of the totem pole. Even if Westbrook and Nunn opt into their deals, that's still a lot of roster space to address.
So with that in mind, here's a little contest. Try to guess the name of a player in the league who will join up with us next season, and whoever has the earliest guess with a right answer will get $10 PayPal'd to them. The contest ends on opening day, and I'll declare the winner at that point. The only restrictions are...
- You can't pick any previous Laker to keep it interesting (i.e., no McGee guesses)
- An edit to your post makes your guess later according to the new date stamp
- Any NBA player joining us between now and the start of the '22 playoffs won't count because you you picked them to join the following season (it doesn't matter if they stay)
- One guess per person
- Your account must be at least one year old as of this post
Lastly, if my guess below is correct, all of you are obligated to send me $10 each (ok, just ignore that last rule ).

My guess: Robert Covington.

I'm bummed by your rule against naming previous Lakers. I wanted to pick Jared Dudley. But I'll go with John Wall. _________________ Internet Argument Resolved
It’s a shame he struggles to stay healthy. Always liked him. Good defender against both guard positions. And is comfortable playing off ball. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
Just a mid season bump for more responses. The rules are the same: be the earliest to correctly guess a completely new Laker who will first join us after the playoffs this season to receive a $10 Paypal prize.
