Could Lakers add Justise Winslow as wing defender?

We need a bigger wing defender. Querstion is the injury history.
Again…
Let’s not forget..this is the same multi-billion dollar organization that applied for and received PPP funds and only gave it back after being publicly shamed into it. They ain’t going much deeper into that luxury penalty…
Yes, I think that’s obvious from the Caruso decision. However, when I look at how much luxury taxes the Dubs and Nets are willing to incur, I wonder whether the Lakers might change their mind if the right player were available. Probably not but it’s still a nice pipe dream to nourish. I’m never afraid of being too optimistic. Disappointment is like water over a duck’s back. Man, spending OPM is always fun.
If the right player comes along, it behooves the Lakers to pay the king’s ransom. Being in a big market like L.A. and being a Lakers franchise requires a lot of sacrifices. Keep the fan base happy then recoup the benefits later. Do whatever it takes then ask questions later. Build a dynasty and make sure the baton is continually passed on to the next one. The bottom line, invest wisely and when necessary while keeping your fan base happy and give them a reason to believe.
Exactly.
We sure could…he needs to go a team where he can show what’s he got as a reclamation. That’s not the Lakers situation. Rooting for him though!
Rooting for Winslow…just not in a Lakers uni. Wherever he goes he needs to play to his strengths i.e. more defense and attacking the rack and less jump shots.
