Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

Anthony is nailing the long distance shots and the lead is 5.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers lead by 5 with 1:33 left.

 

[Retroram52]

Way to go dumbass Westbrook.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook redeems himself with 2 FTs and the lead is 7 with under a minute left.

 

[Retroram52]

44 seconds left and the lead is still 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Wolves come out of the timeout and hit some FTs. The lead is 6 with 40 seconds left.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook makes 1 of 2 FTs and the lead is 8.

 

[Retroram52]

LeBron misses both FTs and the lead is 5.

 

[Retroram52]

14 seconds left and the Lakers take a timeout.

 

[Retroram52]

Game over. Lakers win the Fourth Quarter by 7 and the game by 5, 108-103. We return to .500 and we come back to thje Crypto Arena Tuesday night for a game against the Kings.

Bazemore is hopeless.

Johnson makes Bazemore expendable. Hopefully the Lakers can find another team to dump him on without taking salary back (like the Rondo deal) and add another vet min player. Jordan will hopefully get that treatment too.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Shopson. The Lakers are probably going to move on Bazemore and Jordon sometime this month. The trade Deadline is in February. Both of those players are essentially done playing for the Lakers. I suspect the Lakers will be looking to reduce the cap numbers and to pick-up draft capital in any future trades. The Lakers would help themselves out by playing the Rookie Center Jay Huff so when AD returns in February, they will have a full compliment of Centers but it is not imperative when Lakers Small Ball includes a very productive James at Center.

We need to win tonight.

Sac is on the 2nd game of a back to back.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kendrick Nunn is as close to returning as he has been all season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Trade for Klay?

I say no because I doubt he ever returns to good health. And I don't think the W's would trade with us.

 

[DJ Fieri]

AD for Harris, Mills, Griffin, Aldridge, Claxton and a 1st.

We'll even throw in Howard and Reaves.

Trade RW for Lilliard.
