Lakers 7-8 without LeBron + AD.
If this was last season’s team, Lakers would be lucky to get 3 or 4 wins.
Lot of credit goes to Schröder for running the team and carrying the scoring burden.

| Dennis was the leader today. Great game, minimized the bad Dennis plays and unlocked Drummond on a few key baskets with his aggression on offense. |

Like I said before you can bring in a vet for $5-10mm like Lowry or Dragic this offseason. Then maybe nab an extra backup like TJ McConnell or Elfrid Payton.
Plus with Dennis gone we likely keep both AC and THT. |
Lol you’re not getting either of those guys for 5-10 million. |

Great game DS!!
Schro is quicksilver fast, and fun to watch. He blew past his defenders consistently all game long. His defense was good for the most part (+10). |

Those guys will want more.
Where are just getting 5-10m? We are an over cap team with the mini MLE.
I think we may end up keeping Dennis/THT and maybe AC.

Averaging 17.0 points 7.5 assists during that stretch.

Lmao. 5-10 million for Lowry or Dragic? Lowry was looking for a 50 million dollar extension. The Heat will pay way more for Dragic unless his game falls off a cliff, in which case we wouldn’t want him. |

| Pay this dude, we got no play, he got all the leverage but convince him to fit THT and Drummond, let em get that 5th yr, deal with the 4th/5th yr when time comes, we can’t replace DS with our cap situation, this is our 3rd best player |

With LBJ getting older you want more guys who can attack like Dennis. Not less.

| Dennis has questionable decision making but he BRINGS it on both ends every night. Have to love that. |

That is why we have THT to do that. |

And that’s why you want more than 1 guy. Dennis and THT give us many more options with LBJ out. THT alone isn’t enough. Some games he is just game planned too easily.

It's the Lakers money. If the team thinks he's worth it, then he's worth it for them.

Jeanie will make that decision, if Jeanie, rob and lebron thinks DS worth 21-25 mil, then he is worth 21-25 mil. In fact, I hope the lakers just offer him a front loaded contract. |

Yup. That’s your opinion as I have my own opinion. Let’s agree to disagree. |

How do you plan to convince Lowry to come to LA for $5-$10M? Just curious, because if you do know how, can you also arrange to have Drummond sign for $5M and Trez for $1M? |

Yes bro! I don't mind criticism of Dennis. I have them myself and I personally think it's insane he turned down that max extension (and I personally "value" him closer to 18-20m). I just get the feeling some people just don't personally like him for whatever reason. If he fails the Lakers fail. So I root for his success. Simple as that for me.

| We shouldn’t care if Schroeder wants the money bag, what we should care about is if he can play like this so we can get another championship, if he does then sign him to whatever he wants. |
