@Yinoma2001 Lakers now stacked with 6-5” dudes. You need big dynamic wings outside of unproven Ziaire at this point - the missing link imo

@Yinoma2001 No to the Grant Williams experience please. Hilarious tho

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@PlunYu_ Do share your thoughts. Its been in mine as well and I’m very open to playing it soon

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@Vengeancewood The Lakers lack a rim-running athletic forward with good length and size, i hear

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@GreyRaj_ This to me sounds like a great SG but not necessarily a great forward - very Rui-like

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@UofBasketball @KalshiHoops @KalshiSports Dang David Wesley earning his stripes

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@MonkeyDLukai On paper Ayton would have been a serviceable center. In reality I don’t think anyone associated with Lakers brass wanted him back.

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@redrock_bball Smart move. Prove it deal plus max flexibility next year for a wing-rich free agent market

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@Coopz___ Take your pic, fellas

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@Fullcourtpass @ScoopB LBJ gonna burn every bridge during his retirement season trying to justify his team lolol

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@slothanova Man, Dallas had some terrible barbers.

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@lakeshowlocked @Jeff_L4 3 SRPs and a FRP swap. I don’t think PJ is worth an entire FRP, after a bad year and a meaty contract. It’s plausible given Dallas’s situation and lack of assets

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@PurpGoldLakers Get PJ Washington and stay away from this nonsense quickly

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@PlayoffDude Washington safer bet. Raises the floor of this team. Kuminga raises the ceiling significantly - but potentially lowers your floor

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@CantBeatAudel Rich Paul trying to maximize Lebron’s contract. Lakers still willing to pay an extension so he took it. Start of this offseason there was never any talk of “taking a paycut” or “supporting pieces”. Then after, cap space dried up and teams didn’t seem keen to trade assets for him

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@Cecil_Leron Fair. I wouldn’t be mad at it tbh. Too much Kuminga highlight clips to not be excited. What annoys me is whenever someone points out that this would be a “no-brainer” - to me, its glaringly not

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@Cecil_Leron I agree Kuminga might be the best free agent left in an FA batch that was tepid at best. A thought: if the Lakers wait a year, Vando’s contract becomes an expiring, and with a stronger pool of forwards entering free agency (perhaps even a Herb or DJJ) - maybe its worth the wait?

[Louie | Forever41 @luwiclaudio]

@LakeShowLukaaa True. It just goes to show how hard it is to predict a team’s standings in 4-5 years. Could happen to Reaves, and it could happen to Luka twice
