    Past his prime doesn’t mean he’s not a good player. 37% from three and 18 ppg is a very good NBA player, and he’s going to a team that has Anthony Davis down low and Lebron James driving and kicking. Klay is going to be wide open A LOT and will have the chance to get that 3 point % back up past 40% on high volume.

    Dude Lopez is absolutely washed. He is done. If you watched last year you would know the guy looks SO slow and can barely get up and down the floor anymore. He was a major reason their D was so bad. Lopez would not be a good idea and I don't care if he can "stretch" the floor. He is done. They would be better off getting a guy like Portis from the Bucks in a trade to back up and play alongside AD. He shoots better anyway and is in his prime. Or, someone like Jalen Smith who just became a free agent from Indiana. Moritz Wagner would even be a better choice.

    Lakers are done. They should trade Lebron and his son to get another star for AD. PG CP3 and Klay all can help Davis. Lebron is the blight. He may win them some games but reaching the playing tournament and hoping to beat a weak team in round one then get swept or lose in five ain't a milestone.

    @@adamsamuel8593 I don't think trading James for more washed players would help AD. If they want to keep AD they would need to a YOUNGER star. If the CP3 and Klay washed man. Neither can defend their shadow anymore. James and say Reaves, Bronny could go to someone like Cavs for Mitchell and Allen or Mobley. Or, to say same Laker package to Knicks for Randle Bridges and workout picks for both teams. Or, you could possibly convince Lebron to play with Wemby in SA for their first round pick Castle, Johnson Sochan and picks. Point is Lebron is going to still want a title shot and the Lakers are going to want to get younger stars and pieces to pair with AD not a bunch of old washed guys that can't win a title.

    Doesn't matter who the Lakers get, Lesteroid James is going to dominate the ball and make all other players play off of him. Most of the time this takes away from players strengths resulting in less production.

    ​ If I were the Lakers I would be looking to package a deal to get Steven Adams. I think he would fit perfectly with the Lakers. He sets great screens and is one of the best offensive rebounders in the game playing good defense. He is an enforcer that can bang and take the pressure off AD, play alongside him or back him up. If they could trade say Hayes, Christie or put together some other package my ideal scenario would be them getting Adams and Klay as another shooter. Adams is the backup now in Houston and not making a ton at only 12 million. He would also be ideal to matchup against players like Joker, Embid, etc. He is only 30.

    They should be prioritizing a big in the offseason, not more shooters. The Lakers last won their championship off a big front court with AD, Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee. Shooting is not what wins in the playoffs, it's defense, rebounds and second chance opportunities.
