Those aren’t reasons to not look for a guard arguable as good as the guards on the Lakers roster.

If Chicago would do it without the swap/without Philly - looks good. I just think Dalton’s December has likely canceled out most of his November buzz. Still a nice asset obviously.


Yeah I think a guard like Ayo is a prime target for Lakers.

They need a guard that can defend and handle so that they can cover both guard spots with Reaves, Christie and the third guard.


Sure. He's solid and probably does what they expected Gabe to do when they signed him. Not convinced that Gave isn't able to get closer to his level of play with Miami given his most recent level of play.

Nevertheless, he seems to be on the block given his constant injuries.

Ayo for Knecht (plus filler) could make sense. Ayo is better today, but Knecht has much more upside and a much better contract.

Ayo is a fun target since he makes very little. There's a trade there somewhere but I don't think they're willing to part with Dalton just yet.
