Yep, DNP CD for his last playoffs and rust being out for a year with an already almost worthless shot. The Lakers would be lucky to get any type of positive reproduction out of him. _________________ When it’s a reasonable possibility, I expect the Lakers to go after a ship like it can’t be denied. I haven’t seen a respectable effort by the Front Office for the last two off seasons nor the last trade deadline. What is going on? |

We're never getting Kessler bro
At this point Kessler is like Keyser Soze. Does he even exist? |

For me, out of the slightly realistic options (ie not Poeltl), I’d go in order:
1: Kessler (clear defensive and rebounding upgrade, easy salary match, costs most draft capital)
2: Sharpe (board man and solid enough defender, easy-ish salary match)
3: Vucevic (by far best offensive fit next to AD, would cost Rui + JHS)
4: Richards (big body that’d come cheap, easy salary match)
5: RWIII (would be higher if he was actually consistently playing right now, would cost Gabe + min)
6: Jonas (board man and that’s kinda it, would cost Gabe)
7: Olynyk (spaces the floor but not solid at anything much else, would cost Gabe + min) _________________ #18 next... |
