If this guy can fill that JaVale McGee type role Im all for it.

[Davivd]

His lateral movement looks really good for a big man.

[hisgreatness]

Not jumping out of my chair but better than nothing.

I would rather to see Castleton gone then. Its been 2 years and I didn't saw any real improvement or bulk going on with him. With Traore there still some time to see what can he do and I liked what I saw from him in the summer league. Same from Hinson, an absolute beast from 3PT, he's not afraid to shoot it.

[KingDuece]

He’s been working out with javale mcgee lately so there’s optimism that he will past this assessment and get to the lakers facility immediately

[icecoldac]

Finally a Center that can play alongside AD. Cutting Blake Hinson is fuck1ng crazy if you ask me. ☹️

[TruthRevolution]

About damn time we get a center. It took them 3 years!!

[marvinlewis]

So I have to come on and admit my doubts that we would not get him. Good stuff Lakers

[zachturner]

I like the potential upside of this signing

[bossnathanmapagmahal]

Very nice upside! And a defensive center

[fortyvasco]

We are always excited abt all the signings until the real season starts smh
Hope we on point this season fr

[craigosterberg]

Needed that center. Now we’ll see if he can play.

[dodgerrichgee]

The fact that it has to come to this is bad in itself.

[JohnMclane-pqfj]

Basically Jaxson Hayes but with defense got it

[TheBeastWithin]

Hey Trevor, I was waiting for this post 😄 good move for the Lakers hope he does well

[dorikin]

I think Koloko is a solid third string big. This now opens up the opportunity to use Jaxson Hayes as a trade chip in getting a bruiser big or a combo big that can play alongside AD.

Bigs I think Lakers should prioritize in getting, wouldn’t cost a lot to get and can give a solid 15-20min at the bag up center position:

Nick Richards
Duop Reath (shown he can shoot the three)
Day’Ron Sharpe

[SethAngell]

Javelle would be a great mentor for Koloko. Not gonna get my hopes up for a dude that hasnt played in so long... but hopefully now that hes back, he will get cleared and come back with a fire in him.

[kamroncampbell]

What? Finally some good news for the Lakers? Bout time LFG💜💛

[maui]

Good to hear that news and it much give help to AD.

[gregoryk.tanaka]

I love Koloko’s quickness and his long arms. The Lakers have some improved three point shooting, so we don’t need Koloko to do that. Great pick up.
