Lakers 2021-22 roster discussion

Too many bigs, not enough three point shooting. In today's NBA you can't be trading twos for threes over long stretches or you'll just die a slow death, and if you can't even get twos you'll get boat raced.

I always thought Kuzma might develop into a prolific scorer who could snipe on demand but he too often disappears in big games.

what changes do you guys see coming this summer for the roster next year?

which of these guys (if any) will be back: Gasol, Drummond, Harrell, Matthews, Morris, Dudley, McKinnie, McLemore?

assuming they try trading Kuzma, who do you think they could realistically get in return?

will they pay Schroder? if so, how much/years?

any rumors as to who they might try targeting within any of these transactions?

Schroeder is gone. Didn’t sign an extension for a reason when they offered it. They need better outside shooters. I think they’ll push hard for 2 of these Lowry, Duncan Robinson, Trent and Lou Williams

Clean the house again. James and Davis aren't worth a sh#$. 2 pansies on the same team.

it was odd that he turned down the extension, said at the time he wanted to explore free agency for the first time in his career. however, in the post-game last night he said he was coming back. i wonder if the Lakers still want him back after his playoff performance though..

Lowry would probably be too expensive for the Lakers plus he may want to return to the Sixers depending on how the rest of their playoff run goes. Robinson and Trent Jr. are RFA's. Lou Williams is from Georgia and may want to return to the Hawks where he has a nice role and seems comfortable

in general, i'm wondering how many vets in ring chasing mode might actually want to play with Lebron and AD at the end of the day

Lebrick needs to leave
either cut or retired. He’s a 20 minute player and can’t win, which means he’s a massive weight around the Lakers’ necks

he's still owed $85M over the next 2 years

Maybe very few back. Probably try to get a few ring chasers on the cheap.

Bro we aren’t even out of the second round of the playoffs, these scrubs don’t deserve to be a topic of discussion until at least the end of the Finals.
