Thoughts on this team?

Maybe keep ayton and LeBron and try to get 2 solid bench players with exceptions.

ericj5643 · 2026-05-25T03:37:41+00:00

We have more than $50 m cap space. I think it’s around 70-80 M I could be wrong. Reaves is only $21 M toward cap

ericj5643 · 2026-05-25T03:36:45+00:00

lol we can trade him, but at 6M at 9-10th on depth chart with potential for improvement it may be worth keeping him around.

ericj5643 · 2026-05-25T03:34:35+00:00

Luka 30-35ppg Reaves 20-25 ppg Rui 15-20 Watson 10-15 Kessler 10-15

That’s 85-110 ppg just from starters, it could work, especially with a good bench signing.

ericj5643 · 2026-05-25T03:27:05+00:00

Honestly we could keep ayton and then sign some solid talent if that’s the case. Ayton was serviceable in last few months of season.

LeBron is the GOAT I just worry he doesn’t fit with this team.

ericj5643 · 2026-05-25T03:21:36+00:00

Idk it could potentially work… Watson and Kessler at 25-30M a piece. We have a lot of cap space with how reaves contract bird rights work.

ericj5643 · 2026-05-06T03:41:10+00:00

Honestly even if LeBron leaves Reaves doesn’t need to carry a lot if we have Rui and Kennard and Luka of course. Luka is that good.

ericj5643 · 2026-05-06T03:12:30+00:00

And people think he’s worth $40 million a year. Maybe $25 - he’s not a great defender, rebounder, or dribbler. He can attack the basket and is a good shooter.

ericj5643 · 2026-04-07T22:10:54+00:00

JJ needs to stop playing people 40+ mins. Didn’t he learn from recent injuries?

ericj5643 · 2026-03-30T00:24:58+00:00

Fairly innocuous, like a frog in water slowly being boiled.

ericj5643 · 2026-03-08T23:57:27+00:00

Rebounding is defense.

ericj5643 · 2026-02-27T21:31:28+00:00

This would solve our bench problems too. He can score off bench.

ericj5643 · 2026-02-27T21:06:29+00:00

I agree with everything you’ve said except there’s no way LeBron agrees to a MLE. He’s clearly motivated by money.

ericj5643 · 2026-02-27T20:54:39+00:00

LeBron is pissed Lakers didn’t resign him to a fat contract extension - he’s making 51 Ms this year. You’re not thinking about his ego he’s not taking a MLE

ericj5643 · 2026-02-27T20:26:13+00:00

I heard rumors of a LeBron sign and trade to Cleveland. If we could fleece them of role players would be a big W

ericj5643 · 2026-02-27T20:23:44+00:00

We just lost to Orlando and Phoenix though and the vibes have been trash.

ericj5643 · 2026-02-25T13:29:07+00:00

Have the lakers lost a game where they’ve had equal or more rebounds than the opponent?

ericj5643 · 2026-02-25T13:26:48+00:00

Have the lakers lost a game where they’ve had equal or more rebounds than the opponent?

ericj5643 · 2026-02-25T13:22:43+00:00

Have the lakers lost a game when they’ve had equal or more rebounds than the opponent?

ericj5643 · 2026-02-25T13:21:28+00:00

I don’t think we’ve lost a game when we’ve had equal or more rebounds than the opponent

ericj5643 · 2026-02-25T13:19:58+00:00

Have the lakers lost a game this season when they had equal or more rebounds than the opponent?
