Doesn't make sense they have LeBron AD Kuzma already. No place for love to play


LeBron slots in at SF. AD slots in at Center. Love certainly slots in at PF ahead of Kuzma. Yes, Kuzma has turned out to be a pleasant surprise coming out of college. But he's hardly a allstar caliber player. And Love is a much better 3-point shooter. If we know anything about what LeBron needs, we know he needs 3-point shooters around him.

If I was the Lakers (or a fan) I would MUCH rather fill the roster with solid to good players than to blow it all on a big 3 with roster spots 6-12 filled with league minimum guys. Especially with a guy like Kuzma already on the roster.

The Lakers are going to have a hard time keeping Lebron and AD on the court together. AD has been injured and Lebron missed a good portion of last season. With no depth, they could really struggle when one of the big 2 misses time

Agreed. Just look at the Heat when Lebron & Bosh first joined Wade. They had a little more depth than the Lakers will in that scenario and they struggled the first year before getting Ray Allen & Mike Miller. Part of me hopes they do it so we can all laugh about it, but I'd much rather not see more 3 player super teams.

Look at the freakin' money getting thrown around here.

How much did Brogdon get? That's a guy who is probably worth investing in.

Ok, 4 for 85 for Brogdon.

JJ for 2 for 26 seems like a good deal. That guy really helps a team out and the Pelicans definitely need spacing.

Can't believe the Bucks were willing to pay so much more for MIddleton and let Brogdon go. This is how small market teams blow the few opportunities they get. Middleton is going to be hated in Milwaukee with that contract. Many fans including myself would have taken Brogdon over him.

Totally agree. Couldn't believe it when I saw that number.
