The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[Retroram52]

Things are falling into place as the Lakers now want to convert Kokolo's Two-way contract to a regular one. Kokolo has been playing very well of late and it looks like he will join the regulars and provide scoring and Defense off the bench. He will join Hayes as back-up and the bench roster. Good move at the right time.

Lakers do still need to add some depth at guard, preferably a 3&D guy (as usual lol). Cut Wood loose and add someone, maybe Josh Richardson, Chris Duarte, or fan favorite Lonnie Walker...

Maybe the Lakers should cut loose Morris and take on Ben Simmons? Yikes!!

Kokolo has been playing very well of late...

Has he? He had the second-best game of his career 5 weeks against Portland with 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists in half a game, but since then he has totaled 14 pts and 6 rebounds in over a month. That's not his fault, necessarily, because he hasn't been allowed on the court -- hell he hasn't even dressed for most games -- but I can't imagine how one could say that he's been playing well. Maybe in practice.

You fail to consider that he is a Two-Way player and has done quite well in the G-league when he is not playing on the regular playing roster. When he has played with the regular roster, he has been playing well.
