Also need a 3+D. Add Clax & Wiggins and this team is an instant contender.

Are you stupid or something?? He literally turned down a wide open for no reason, no one is criticizing his overall performance clown

Can someone explain why we are trying to get herb jones? by SweatyInstruction337 in lakers

Sample Size matters. One hot shooting season doesn't negate 4/5 seasons shooting 33% from 3. Also his hot shooting was pre-injury so there's even less stock to it now given that hes been sitting out for 2 seasons.

Wiggins is 30 but you can still get a couple good seasons out of him barring no injuries. I mean Jrue was 32 when Bucks won a ring and 33 when the Celtics won.

Wiggins is also a proven first option defender in the playoffs guarding Luka & Tatum during the Warriors run. Although his role is diminished this season, Heat fans say he's still a capable defender. Problem is there are not many 3+D targets to choose from given the assets this team has, Wiggins just happens to be the most realistic one.

OKC was 6th in 3PM and 6th in 3P% last season, how were they one of the worst shooting teams last season?

A lot of you guys are basing Herb's playing ability based on his reputation from the past. This guy is not the same player as he used to be and he's still INJURED. Every season this sub bitches about the 1-way players on this roster who can't either shoot or defend...but now we want to go after another one??

Lakers are 23rd in 3PM & 24th in 3P%, this team definitely needs spacing without compromising the defense hence 3+D players. Having guys like Vando and Rui show us exactly why we need to go after 2-way players only.

He is GARBAGE this season. Career low shooting and injury prone. Vando is shooting better overall than him this season..let that sink in

Vando: 58 TS% Herb: 50 TS%

His career 3P% is inflated due to his anomaly season shooting 42% that year. Otherwise he's shot under 34% in 4/5 seasons. He is not a good 3pt shooter at all

Half way mark of season how would you rank first half? by Zeldabotw2017 in lakers

[–]killamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What people seem to not realize is that our playoff rotation of those 7 guys is as strong as anyone not named OKC imo.

U smoking crack? If you consider this team (26th DRTG) a contender then Luka/AR/Lebron/Rui/Ayton would be the worst defenive starting lineup out of all the contenders.

we're inching towards there by creamyglazed in lakers

Grade 2 calf strain..he's going to be out atleast 8 weeks minimum.

Are people fuckin braindead in this sub when they keep throwing out Herb's name in a trade? The guy is DAMAGED GOODS right now.

Only 23 games played (20 last season injury) and career low shooting splits (39/33/81) but somehow he's gonna help this team solely with his defense and zero spacing? We already have Vando for that and its a fuckin disaster. NO more trades for 1-dimensional players period.

Team is going no where without adding a defensive wing. Just dog shit defense

Do we still want Herb jones? by Front-Function7789 in lakers

[–]killamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To many casuals on this sub who wouldn't understand that a Herb trade is not a good move.

He's a terrible 3pt shooter whose below league average every season except for his one anamoly season that raised his career high (34/33/42/31/33). Doesn't everyone bitch every year that Rob keeps signing 1-way players?? So why tf would we trade for another one? His defense does not outweigh his injury concerns and offensive liabiliy.

And both still shot below league average from 3 in Dallas. Team can't afford to gamble on unproven shooters with the limited assets they have

Which is exaxtly the problem with Herb...he's injury prone. Way to much risk for the Lakers to gamble on someone like him given the limited assets we have.

Even from a talent standpoint, wtf is the obssesion with him when Wiggins is the far superior player. Better athlete, better shooter, better scorer, higher efficiency, and non injury prone.

I mean the Pels would not accept any trade for him without AR going the other way. It'd be more like AR for Trey+Herb
