The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[Retroram52]

Johnson is a solid defender and we need that on this team, he could play 8-10mpg.

With Vandy, DFS, and Johnson we have 3 decent (Johnson) to good defenders (Vandy and DFS) off the bench.

I agree DJ. That would be just about what we need going forward.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Well, no games for a while and I doubt I watch the AS game.

Unless, I am super bored.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, DJ. The Lakers and everyone else are off until Wednesday of next week.

Several articles abound claiming Pelinka's complacency to act to get the Center they needed before the Doncic trade was dumped in his lap are circulating. Lakeshowlife blames Pelinka's complacency to get the true Center like Nick Richards they needed was the primary cause of the Williams trade fiasco.

Lakers' Mark Williams fiasco a direct result of Rob Pelinka's complacency

The Los Angeles Lakers have encountered disaster with the Mark Williams trade. Unfortunately, the blame falls on Rob Pelinka.

We didn't have the 2 2nd rounders to trade and he's not worth a 1st rounder.

Yea. DJ. The guy they really wanted isn't going to leave Salt Lake City anytime soon. So... ...the Lakers will have to wait to find somebody in the Draft this summer.

If I am Rob....this summer I go after Kessler hard....

Offer what he gave for Williams....

 

[Retroram52]

Might be the case. We shall see.

They'll get someone better than Richards for next season.

I can't see Danny giving the Lakers Kessler. I assume they already offered the Williams package anyway. Unless the Lakers want to part with AR, I don't see Danny budging.

I would target Claxton (or Turner if the Pacers' extension talks sour). Maybe MitchRob.

Claxton would be good and we have history of trading with the Nets.

Robinson gets hurt too much.

MitchRob would be more of fall back option. Tough to tell who will be available this summer.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This is pretty cool

 

[Retroram52]

Well Lakers are playing a make-up game tonight against the very same Hornets. Except for DFS, Doncic, James, and Hachimura, everyone else has yet to score a bucket.

 

[Retroram52]

After the First Quarter, the Lakers lead by 7 points.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves and Western Knecht need to get going!

 

[Retroram52]

Vanderbilt is in and makes a dunk.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves is on the board but Western Knecht is just having a horrible night early on.

 

[Retroram52]

Now Western Knecht is getting going. Nails the three and the Lakers go up by 6 points.

This game was rescheduled from January 9.
