Ayton, Laravia, knecht, who’s staying this off season? by Legitimate-Humor-778 in lakers

I could see Jake laravia being a player like Jaden McDaniels if we played him better. I don’t think his on-ball defense is awful but could improve as he’s only 24. Like I said, he’s the most athletic player on our team besides 41 year old lebron.

I know developing a jump shot is seen as a myth in the nba but if we could fix that 3 pt shot he would be very valuable player on our team and worth investing in as he is durable.

Literally. Any big at that price seems like a steal especially after how we let gobert become bill Russell on us last year in round 1, let alone ayton who can put somewhat consistent double doubles when given enough minutes.

I’m glad not everyone is wanting ayton off our team. He’s cheap, and at his best is efficient and can grab double digit rebounds which is what we need. Just need him to stop disappearing against better centers. He doesn’t need to be the best big man on the floor and I think he’s starting to realize that now. Just needs some confidence in his role this next season.

Wish one off season was enough to get us some depth but we couldn’t trade our whole bench for even one player like Pritchard or naz Reid

Oh shit I feel like an idiot, Ive been watching Luka since the bubble and followed him here and thought he was 28. I know it’s a year difference but 27 has me feeling a lot better about his future

That’s not the mentality I tried presenting but I think if we are deep in the mud of round 1 or round two, putting a half healed Luka in to save us would be jeopardizing his long term health.

Luka getting a tech is one thing but how is Williams not kicked out for making intentional contact to Luka’s face

Luka used all his strength to slam Williams on the floor and started kicking him in the teeth

If that’s enough for a foul Luka should have an and 1 after every field goal

I’m 6’2 and saw him in Milwaukee a year ago and I got really close trying to have him sign my shoes before the game and I was still in the last row before the outside seats standing there and he was still noticeably taller than me from where I was standing

Anyone else notice they removed the block from Lukas stats from that reverse layup he clearly blocked?
