They just got better defensively and brought in two that can hit threes. I would however like to see them use that other first round pick and Beverly and Walker to land one from Toronto. Or any lights out 3pt shooter for that matter
Pelinka somehow had regain some respect with all that maneuvers he had before the trade deadline. I just wish the Lakers had more games left. Bamba, Vanderbilt, Hachimura, Reaves and maybe Beasley, Christie and D'Lo . I want to still see them play for the Lakeshow next season. Young players that has some potential.
@sinisterminds2559 I know lebron might lose a couple of weeks, but I still think the lakers will make the playoffs. People underestimate this team alot.
We got an absolute steal in being able to trade for Vando. He literally ignighted the Lakers comeback against Dallas the other day and his defense and energy is contagious to the whole team!
That's one trade that Minnesota will regret and one hellava trade lakers will capitalize on he gone put that defense and energy on the whole team watch at end lakers last team standing
Vanderbilt got a feel for the game, it may not show up in the stat but his impact will make a difference, haven't watched him a lot but everything that I have seen he got crazy potential especially if he improve offensively cause his defense is there
Okay hear me out Rob pelinka turned Westbrook+Nunn+beverly into Dlo +Vando + Beasley+Rui+Bamba These 5 enough are starters for a playoff team ...and you got them for guards who were shooting combined 3/30 from 3 Take a bow rob pelinka 👑
I love the way he plays the game of basketball. A great pick up for the Lakers. Now if they can pick-up an X's and O's coach. LeBron is going to have to be a coach on the floor because Darvin Hamm doesn't have a clue on how to coach this team.
How could this guy being traded away with the energy he gives every game NBA really changes alot...Lebron founds another gold just like in the 2016 before Jr,imon etc join the cavs may be history repeat itself...
Surround him with shooter's and a star player minesota could be a title contender...his playing style is not that different with draymond plus his tall,long,quick and has a bright potential..
If the lakers wins the championship!! All these bench players will be asking for max contract or an increase in their salary which the lakers cannot afford because LeBron and ad are already eating a large amount of lakers salary cap!!!!
