  1. I'm a Michigan fan as well as a Lakers fan and I think we got a steal.

    Especially because we can control him for next season.

    This will be similar to the Goodwin signings from last year. Different profile of player, but a sneaky good signing.

  2. 100% not waiving bronny
    If anybody knecht.
    Hang on to thiore could be a big help next year if we can get him healthy

  3. With Cam Thomas signing in Milwaukee, I don't see any remaining players on the buyout market worth waiving a current player.

  4. Definitely love the Lakers signing Kobe Bufkin. I also don’t see the Lakers releasing anyone because they don’t want dead cap on their books in the summer.

  5. PG/ Luka Doncic
    SG/ Austin Reaves
    SF/ Haywood Highsmith
    PF/ LeBron James
    C/ Jusuf Nurkic (if bought out)

    PG/ Marcus Smart / Kobe Bufkin
    SG/ Luke Kennard / Matisse Thybulle
    SF/ Jake LaRavia
    PF/ Rui Hachimura
    C/ Jaxson Hayes

  6. Don’t think they will waive a player. Maxi has been plying too well. Waiving DK will create dead money on the books for next year. At this point, they’re probably looking into the future. Start by signing Kobe and use their cap space this summer to fully build around Luka and AR.

  7. The lowest value expiring contract that can be bought out easily is Jax Hayes. 3 mill makes him more expendable without sacrificing this summers roster reset

  8. The question is will the lakers develop him? They should have given knect pt in the g league to regain his confidence. Play Adieu with Luka or Austin half of the time instead of when a game is over. Jj will still play his 9 man rotation. Meaning Kobe will be glued to the bench as well. Mannion barely got run with lakers. I like Nick Smith but lakers should try to help him develop his game too.

  9. The problem with having LeBron in your always in win now mode knecht developed would be fine look at all the players the lakers have let go over the last 10 years ,

  10. They should waive Kleber and try to get a wing.

    I know casuals are going to say ”no don't waive Kleber ! He played well the last 3 games!” but we need a 3&Dish wing much more than we need a third string center

  11. Thybulle would be a good option just to add depth to the wing. But I get Kobe could be a shooter for us

  12. No more of such videos please until the summer. I believe many of us are satisfied with this current roster and rotation. We just need everyone to he healthy.

    Let's focus and push for at least a 50 wins, 3rd seed to conclude the season and have momentum going into the playoffs.
