Linky

Two months ago, Reddick said the Lakers would love to get "a big, bruising five man". Today the Lakers tell Bleacher Report they are targeting a big man with "girth" as the primary roster move we're missing.

This is music to my ears since I won't stop begging for a legit 2020 D12 replacement to complement Bron and AD until we get one!

I wonder how many rings letting him walk for nothing cost us. DPOY runner up who can also shoot the three. And we still could have had Dwight or McGee as the backup.

We probably beat Denver, Lopez would have made Jokic work and sweat and the series would have been different especially when we lost to them in the 1st round, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he’s 1 of the big’s were trying to acquire before the season begins

Don't tell me the Lakers didn't realize this when FA opened and they went after Klay instead of Jonas. Can't be serious that Lakers FO/Pelinka just realized just now that they needed a big desperately.

This is strange all around. I'm glad Lakers have recognized this need but they should have been pursuing earlier in the off-season. Ridiculous that this is now something they are "privately" telling reporters is a priority

Not sure what fantasy world your living in but trades are hard to pull off especially with the new apron rules, just because we need a C right now doesn’t mean we haven’t tried getting 1 in recent weeks, Pelinka is always aggressive in trying to make something happen and I say this because I’m as critical as all of you are when it comes to this Organization helping LeBron and AD as much as they can in them winning as much as titles as possible
