If you have to choose one of his 2 options at the same price,who do you take...Patty Mills or Avery Bradley?

KCP and Caruso, the Lakers two POA guard defenders last two years, both gone. That defense is gonna suffer next year.

Could Lakers match Caruso? That’s a huge loss.


Dwights nice. This team is **** old.


Some many perimeter defenders lost on this team

Losing Caruso hurts, but could the Lakers have matched? I really doubt it.

The steal of the night goes to Milwaukee. For the life of me, I don’t understand Portis agreeing to 9/2. It makes no sense. He just won a ring and hasn’t been paid yet.

If they don't get Hield or Mills, letting Caruso go is gonna be a terrible decision. They need to hit on this Dennis S&T. They don't have many other assets left.

I assume the dream scenario for the Lakers is that Dinwiddie signs with the Pelicans and then the Wizards become desperate for a PG which enables the Lakers to include Schroeder in a S&T for Westbrook and keeps some assets left over to pursue Hield.

What price did people expect for Caruso? Seems good to me. Lakers are dumb.

How did Bron and Vogel not go to bat for him

When Bron and AD are locked in, they are our best defenders

But AC was right after them and he always played with effort

This **** up my day tbh

No wonder this franchise was TRASH for 6 years before Bron came with Klutch

He bounced from garbage team to garbage team before landing at the Bucks. Maybe he just really likes it there.

Caruso is a big loss.

A role player that stars in his role is valuable to a contending team.
Don't believe the hype...

So far they've lost one key role player and signed 3 guys who won't move the needle

AC was my favorite role guy I think ever

Man I’m so pissed

Are we just giving up on playing D?

Even if we get Mills, who is our point of attack defender? Russ?? Lol

Better not be Avery

Too small, too aggressive (fouls), also a bad 3 pt shooter

Lol if we give THT the money

Yup, a joke rn

Dwight is a nice piece though, may be useful in some series’

Wayne likely won’t

Maybe Ariza has some legs left, but we better get a better 3/4 defender than him who can also shoot

Gay or OPJ

Who the hell guards quicker guys now on the perimeter with AC and Pope gone

Literally 2 guys who started in the finals for us
