A vibrant debate. For once LT and I agree!
It was Jamie and I regaling the positives about the Westbrook trade while Gerald and Spencer took the low road. The big question is what will the Lakers do next. Will they try to expand the Westbrook trade to add Buddy Hield? Or will they decide instead that the cost in taxes for Hield is too much and will try to just add vet minimum 3-point shooters to solve the shooting problem.
Lots of talk on the web about the Lakers plan is to get physical like 2020 and that they may not need more shooting. That would be a huge mistake. Whether Jamie and I are right or Spencer and Gerald will be determined by how the Lakers finish free agency.
To clarify, I don’t believe there is a snow ball’s chance in Hell we’re getting Buddy. I think it far more likely we reel in some of the cheaper shooters out there.
I have nothing but excitement for us acquiring Russ.
Cheaper shooters who take 2 to 4 threes per game and make between 1 or 2 is what you mean. That’s not the same a a player who takes 10 and makes 4 threes per game. The former teams ignore because they’re not difference makers. The latter is where the opposing team has to commit a player to stick to all the time because they’re a high volume and percentage 3-point shooter.
To clarify LakerTom, it was Spencer and I taking the high road to clarity, as opposed to you and Jamie taking the road to future headaches. I sincerely hope that we are incorrect but the analytics and stats back up everything Spencer and I agreed upon. Not a good fit and a potentially big issue come playoff time without adequate shooters.
