Dennis Schroder has indicated he’d be open to return to the purple and gold. Who would be in favor of a DS redux? Honestly…I can think of worse options.
I tend to agree, kind of matters what happens. For instance if we trade 2 for 1 (THT and Nunn for Buddy, for example) we’ll need a backup PG. No good internal options and we just need those guys to try on D.
One problem with every Westbrook trade is getting back a point guard, or keeping Nunn for that position, or trading THT for Beverley, which makes sense from a 3&D and Darvin Ham point of view. Almost impossible to get enough good players without trading Russ as he is worth two or three rotation players in return. TPE is great for landing players like Hield or Gordon but need to be packaged with a pick. Lakers do have some good options but most of them will require unprotected picks. Are the Lakers ready to do that? That’s the question.
LakerTom says
No thank you. Can’t shoot, can’t defend.
Jamie Sweet says
Schroder or Avery?
LakerTom says
Neither. Both prevent players who can win or need time to develop from playing.
