The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

No, was saying they already had a 3 & D player, but they traded him and now need to find another 3 & D player.

Those are findable.

If only they hadn’t traded their young 3&D player they already had.

Two of them, actually. Not that Redick played Reddish often, but Reddish is miles better than Vincent.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, if the Lakers are patient, Reddish might get waived by the Hornets and then he will def return if the Lakers want him back.

Same can be said about sending Dalton Knecht out the door.

I enjoyed watching Knecht play most of the time, too, but just for fun... which rookie is shooting better from the arc so far this season, Dalton Knecht or Zach Edey?

Hint: It's not Knecht.

Who let the Celtics fan in here?

I don't believe that's allowed. A traded player cannot return to his previous club in the same season -- I think.

 

[Retroram52]

Well sorry. I guess I need to be more specific. The Lakers can bring Reddish back in July. A summer addition. Feel better?

"Once an NBA team trades a player, it cannot reacquire that player during the same season. However, if the player is waived and no other team claims him, the original team can reacquire the player. If the player is waived by his new team, he cannot re-sign with his original team until the one-year anniversary of the trade or until the July 1 following the end of his contract, whichever comes first"

Here is the defintive list of buy-out players many of whom are guards. Good back-up material. I like the idea of bring Walker back.

Five buyout market candidates the Lakers should consider

The Lakers can use a little more bench depth moving forward, and these five players, if available, could help.

They gave up too much for Williams. Knecht was gonna be a nice player

Trivia-ish question: How many current Lakers are in the Top 50 __Al-time__ in NBA playoff 3-point FG%?

4 (!!).

Hachimura is 2nd all-time and leads active players, at 48.5%. Milton is T27th, at 41.9%. Finney-Smith is T30 at 41.7%. Reaves is 47th at 40.3%.

That has interesting implications for surrounding Doncic and James.

Only 19 of those 50 are active players, so fully 20% of the best playoff 3-point shooters in the league are current Lakers -- and none are James or Doncic.

In other NBA news.....Nate Robinson got a new kidney.

I was stunned to hear his predicament a while back.

I would go with Springer.

He is still young, and the Lakers need more defensive-minded players more than they need another 3 pt shooter.

Springer fits that bill, and he can always work on his 3 pt shooting with Doncic.

I feel they gave up too much as well, but only because Williams has been so injury prone.

But, the Lakers were desperate and the rest of the league knew it. That’s when you take advantage of teams.

True, the Lakers have 3 point shooting.

 

[DJ Fieri]

AD isn't fucking around today.

11 points, 7 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the first quarter. It's not over yet either.

 

[DorianRo]

AD on track for a 60 plus point game. Yeesh

56.

This Mavs team is scary now. . I know they wanted a young Luka. Probably should have waited and just grabbed some nice defenders before trade deadline. And a backup Center to AD at least.. Theres no guarantee Luka won't remain lazy whale blubber either especially living in Hollywood
