I wrote him off as NBA talent due to relative shortness but maybe I was wrong. Maybe he can compete. It seems he can in the g league, which is not as unforgiving to size. Nevertheless happy for him.

If Bron is retired or off the Lakers, do the Lakers extend his contract in 3 years?

Or maybe Bron sticks it out to get Bryce on the team as well.

Bronny has the quickness and bounce like Payton Jr.
He just needs to put up more shots and learn the system.

If Bronny works on his dribbles/handles, then he can replace Gabe in the next 1-2 years as a POA defender.

Fox to Wemby-land. LaVine to the tanking kings.

Nobody is even mentioning it.

The Washington Wizards are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Sacramento Kings for Sidy Cissoko and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. (Shams)

Sactown got Derozan. Lavine. And now Jonas V. But isn't that the same as what Chicago had? Derozan, Lavine and Vucevic?

I will do gamethread for Lakers vs Pacers game after today's game vs Warriors, assuming Luka Is playing either way will do one.

Lakers have open rostor spot as I say this ...

Cut Wood make 2 roster spots

Sign Armel and Koloko both 2 ways players, Add In Lonnie as 2way and someone else

Thoughts ??

Lakers are signing Jordan Goodwin

POA defender! Takes Traoré’s roster spot.

For basketball reasons, lol, I’d want to send Bronny, Olivari, Traoré back to the G League. No need for Olivari’s offense. Traoré would have to outplay DFS and JV for minutes. Not gonna happen.

Good move, albeit small.

SlimShady83 · Post #198 » by **SlimShady83** » Sat Feb 8, 2025 7:54 am

Suprised move; Lakers have waived Armel Traore ... Post Luka trade Lakers are focusing on Defensive players ... Also expecting Williams to shine on defense.

Two way player In; Jordan Goodwin

Was there some issue regarding Fox in Sacramento? Never looked into it, did he ask to get out? Just strange they would trade Fox to bring in Lavine.

In an alternate universe, Bronny comes in to take the place of his father and goes on to win 4 championships, 4 finals mvp, and 48,000 points with the Lakers.
He plays till age 55 when they draft BronBron his grandson, who gets ridiculed by media and critics for being gifted being drafted into the Lakers...
