Lakers-Kings 

Post#1 » by zimpy27 » Mon Jan 6, 2025 9:00 pm

Kings get Rui, Wood, JHS

Lakers get DeMar



Kings can start Rui at PF and move Keegan back to an SF role. Wood provides more size options over Len as backup. JHS is filler but worth a tryout.

Lakers get DeMar to play as an extra playmaker when Reaves or LeBron sit.

stylistically it kind of makes sense for both teams but it looks bad on the kings FO to downgrade their star acquisition this offseason like this

“Wood provides more size options over Len as backup” - what does this even mean? Len is a bigger player, plays bigger, and obv a way better fit for Kings given his defense.

Oh I meant kings currently really just have Len as a big off the bench. Wood gives them another option instead of Len. Or he can play alongside Len.

Orlando Robinson does not look NBA ready.
