Nice signing. Now you can have 3 completely different looks at the 5 with DJ, Claxton or LMA depending on matchup and that's not including all the smallball lineups with KD Blake or Green at C. LMA isnt close to what he was but still a real luxury to have on the bench in a playoff series. Great shooter and also big enough to bang on the inside with anyone.

Kyrie/Harden/Joe/KD/LMA that is just sick. No way you can play Andre Drummond against that lineup and not get burned

Two things he can still do.

1 he will be deadly as a pick and pop up option with Harden in the half court and is still a damn good floor spacer. This will open the court even more for Harden, Kyrie and Durant

2: He can still go in the low post and use his automatic turnaround jumper to punish people. He fits in just fine with Harden and his all time great pick and roll and pop game.

Hopefully this means we can finally see some clax at pg. Ball should be in his hands at all times. I am 50% joking.

I don't understand the hate towards the move for you guys. Griffin is a role player now and same with Lma. Even if you signed Drummond he was never a star player or played any meaningful ball in his career. It seems that only LeBron led teams can add players lol.. Best of luck the rest of the way. I'm a KD fan so I'm glad he can contend again, the big 3 you have is filthy not gonna lie lol.

I thought we already had a roster spot open?

Also wasn't it being reported this morning that he signing with Miami?

Did that hit a snag, he changed his mind, erroneous report, or was I dreaming?

Anyway, another great pickup. This team is so loaded its criminal. 8-) :D

I just realized I counted Spencer, so we do have a spot available.

Sean Marks is like the Gene "Stick" Michaels of the NBA ... a basketball savant.

And we are fortunate to have an owner who stays out of his way, other than signing checks.

So funny how everyones so mad about this and would rather see the Lakers collect an 18th Championship.

We have all literally never seen our team win a Championship in our lifetime. How do we not deserve to win for once?

Anyway, I think this is a smart signing.

Maybe we should just sit Jordan tbh. Aldridge is basically just better than him at everything. This would be my new lineup.

Harden/Brown
Irving/Shamet
Harris/Green
Durant/Blake
Aldridge/Claxton

With our last spot, I would look at add Harkless. He'd be an ok defensive piece in case.

It will be interesting to see how Nash handles all these big players. It’s funny, at the beginning of the season we had too many guards and not enough bigs and now it’s the opposite problem lol. I hope Aldridge takes DJ mins.

They are all bitter and jealous. I don't recall anyone crying foul when the Lakers were signing buy out players.

Good move just to force miami into an even worst stretch 5 option after they dealt olynk.

I'm not sure how he finds minutes but cant have enough great former bigs around claxton and its more stretch 5 insruance.

Laker fans and LeBron fans are both used to having the odds stacked in their favor. Anything that challenges that status quo is considered extremely threatening and triggers strong emotional responses.
