Players Lakers need to keep for 2023/24

[Shaqdaddy11]

Lebron
AD
Reaves
Vando
D-Lo
Schroeder
Rui

Everyone else is replaceable.

I'd like to see Beasley and Wenyen back but only at a discounted rated.

 

[Retroram52]

Bamba, Beasley, and Walker are my additions.

Let TBJ, Walker and TT walk.

Depending on what Rui wants.....he could also walk. And D-Lo could be signed and dealt.....liked what he did after the trade but he has been straight up ass in the playoffs......and that is not unusual based on his career in the playoffs.

I like Pippen to eventually turn into a rotation player......maybe similar to Gary Payton II.

 

[Retroram52]

Spicer is hanging around as well.

Swider?

 

[Retroram52]

Sorry dude. You are right. Swider.

 

[DJ]

Swider is a player who could also be a rotational player eventually.

 

[shopson67]

Swider is a player who could also be a rotational player eventually.

He has to be able to shoot as poorly as Beasley has lately, and is a decent rebounder. Defender, not so much.

That said, still hoping for a rebound by Beasley this postseason. That contract is an asset.

I really want DLo to work out, but his lack of defensive effort is really aggravating. Not worried about his offense, that will turn around.
