Schroder to Lakers for one year $2.64 million deal

[Pharmcat]

EXCELLENT move by the lakers

now trade WB

[Pharmcat]

Six guards:
Russ
Bev
Nunn
Reaves
Schroeder
LW4

Makes no sense. Presumably LW4 and Schroeder signed because they were told they'd get playing time.

Russ sucks
Nunn has a knee injury that never healed
Reaves is still young
Bev is old

they need all the depth they need

[Liam_Gallagher]

Jazz and Lakers HAVE to be making a trade soon.

[Amare_1_Knicks]

This really made me think Russ has to be on the way out. Pat Bev, Dennis, Nunn.. thinking WB is the odd man out.

[Yeggo Poleggo]

Goodbye, Westbrick.

I wonder if Kendrick Nunn is healthy or not. There would be no other reason to sign a point guard unless they know Kendrick Nunn may still be unavailable going forward.

[dockingsched]

People over complicate things. Dennis and the lakers have been talking for months. Timing is clearly about him trying to see if he could get more than the minimum anywhere, seeing if he could create a buzz from his Euro play. Buzz isn’t there so time to settle for the offer from the Lakers now.

There’s another very obvious reason, Russ and Lakers agreeing that he’ll be away from the team like many other players/teams have done when they’re not a good fit.

Didn't they already say that Westbrook will start on the team? I'm quite sure that hasn't changed far as we know.

Brickman just listed his house sooooooo

It looks like it could be heading that way. I posted on the trades and transactions board that I think the Lakers are deciding on what to do with their picks depending on how the team looks at the deadline. If Lebron/Davis are playing like all NBA players, you might do the Hield/Turner trade.

Bev/Hield/James/Davis/Turner is a playoff closing lineup. Flip Nunn and/or Walker for a bigger wing and you got something good.

But if James or Davis isn't playing at an elite level, no need to waste the picks. At that point, your not going anywhere.

Make Russ the assistant athletic manager

Lmao

Who knows, season isn’t close to starting. But this makes it easier to make the decision to sit Russ if they decide to go that way.

That's assistant to the athletic manager.

lol, I didn't need an analysis of everyone's weaknesses. and Schroeder has crap motor and vision and LW4 can't defend or really shoot

my point is there's a major roster imbalance and two of those guys signed with the intention of playing a lot and boosting their value. so the math doesn't add up

also, technically there are SEVEN guards on the roster if you count Christie, even though he won't play

this is full Knicks power forward mode

[HanzGruber]

Make Russ the assistant athletic manager

Assistant TO the athletic manager

[Memories]

This team makes **** sense at all if Westbrook doesn’t get traded.

THEY HAVE SEVEN GUARDS! Seven!

[PaulKellerman]

Lakers gonna dole out a lineup of Russ, Pat Bev, Dennis with LBJ and AD and I am ALL FOR IT

[fteru6uhre54ew]

Lol Pelinka. Lebron playing as a strech four

[Memories]

Lakers are also considering using Austin Reaves as a wing/3 player according to Stein.

This organization since that Westbrook trade has been on some serious crack lol.
