The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

Well if ya thinks about it, we already have several Centers who can do what you are suggesting. Soo...

Hayes is more of a backup than these other guys....and WCS has played with Luka. Kind of important to keep him happy so he doesn't bolt. He could step in and be that ghost starters....for 15-18mpg.

DFS played with him Luka Dallas....but give Luka a few guys he is familiar with is a good idea.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Williams was the starter over Richards. Until they found issues with his physical, they were getting the more valuable player. Lakers didn't have 3 2nds to match that offer anyway.

Yep. And Richards wasn't worth a 1st.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And even though they have played with the Lakers Koloko and Jemison are really G-Leaguer's to me at least.....if we had Wood or another option, they wouldn't be even playing with the Lakers. They have benefitted from Wood's absence and us lacking a true big.

Not playoff eligible until they are signed to the 15 man roster though.

Wood is basically nothing more than a memory until we get some kind of idea as to when he can return.

Koloko will be most likely be elevated at some point, but they don't need to do so until he runs out of his 50 game availability as a 2 way player (and to lock in playoff eligibility).

Just google'd him and he is a candidate to be waived....was just thinking he is an experienced body that can bang with the big guys, rebound, average defender and can step out and shoot.....

He is apparently out through the AS break. Could return after.

Good story on ESPN about the chaotic trade deadline for the Lakers.

Apparently, Wednesday they considered adding Jericho Sims before he went to the Bucks @shopson67. I remember you saying he would be a decent add or was it somebody else?

If he has a chance to return, I'd assume he'd be kept over Morris. Markief looked pretty old and slow on Saturday.

Scary that the info you get googling Wood's return is about LAST season lol. The info has been that scarce.

I believe Kokolo has had his 2-way converted to a Standard Contract already. If the Lakers let Wood walk, they really should bring back Bamba!

 

[DJ Fieri]

WCS is averaging 3ppg in China @shopson67

He done....LOL.

He didn't get a lot of PT when we got him from Orlando. Think that was Ham and his weird subbing patterns....I liked him a lot.

About to have an Avocado Caesar salad....

Going to try and catch as much of this Luka debut with the Lakers as I can but I may end up recording where I leave and go to bed....

Here we go....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Mark misses a 3 to open the game.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James with the lob to Hayes for the dunk.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I didn't realize Hayes is averaging 8ppg (on 77% "shooting"), 6.6rpg, 1.8bpg and 1spg during the Lakers 5 game winning streak.

Maybe the kid will be an okay starter and we just need a backup behind him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Luka with a brick of a 3.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Luka's first FG as a Laker is a 3!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

James with a bad TO on the pass to Hachimura.
