We NEED A STRONG BIG to take over the center position and put AD at the 4 where he’s comfortable. Also, he’d help deal with the Joker.

[ezekem]

Robert Williams is never mentioned. I know he’s injury prone but if he wasn’t so much he’d be very intriguing.

[germluv]

dejontae murray an a big man is what we need....dont trade rui

[ohmargod]

JV would be a huge get. Big physical presence. Rebounds. Can shoot from 3 occasionally. Good FT shooter.

[tylerk]

I think Grant is someone who's perfect as being that third guy in the offense and someone who's 6'7-6'8 and hold his own against bigger sfs he's known to be a great defender and can obviously score. So he's a 2 way wing and very valuable. My only issue is his big contract. He's also 30 but that's not that bad. I think It'd be a pickup if we pulled it off

Getting JV reminds me of when the lakers had Marc Gasol. It doesn’t work with Lebron and AD needing to get their easy buckets around the rim. Please just get a lob threat and a rim protector. The Dwight/Javale combo was the perfect fit for AD and Lebron

Happy birthday and welcome to the Los Angeles Lakers *Coach Reddick.💪

[goderking]

Remember when some1 on the lakers bench had AD/CWood/Heyes on the floor for some reason, the lineup somehow worked and Darvin never tried to do it again to see if it was a fluke or a legit rotation.

[PouonoHB]

Kel’el Ware
Yves Missi
DaRon Holmes

Keep the 17 pick and Take any of these of three of they’re available at 17. Do not draft a Guard or wing.

[hunter-zphf]

I loterally hate the fact they love these draft bigs so much. If its not edey it doesnt make sense. We loterally need a BIG PHYSICAL guy to guard guys like embiid and jokic. Everybody yall love are smaller than a.d🤦🤦🤦🤡

[alexamerling]

I'd gladly have both Jonas and Jerami but not sure Portland would trade with us lol

[christopherhirezi]

I wanted Grant back in 2020 after we won the championship, thought he balled out with denver and would make an excellent addition to AD and Lebron, however now that contract is extremely hard to work with.

[KIrvin_The_Scholar]

The Lakers need to bring back D-Lo, Draft a point gaurd like Carter to play backup & sign a big like Valanciunas or Goga. Then package Gabe, JHS & 1 of Hayes or Wood along with a first & look for a good wing player. If we can stay healthy were a dangerous team with a few minor upgrades

[ledgardoAX]

Grant is the type of player every team wants

[Money-Fast-Plan-a]

Your impact is profound! 🌟 - "Dream big and dare to fail.."

[brianhill]

Trev!!! Have you forgotten that the Lakers have a new coach, anew philophy, and hopefully a new idea about team building no over priced vets., thanks.

[mikeangel]

Portland loves picks
Probably the most realistic trade oartner

[TSierra]

WE NEED A BIG MAN! A center that can willing to do his role, kinda like Dwight Howard in 2020. We need size because we keep getting cooked by the Nuggets.

[CoolTy]

Dream roster:
Dejounte Murray
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Lebron James
Jarred Vanderbilt
Anthony Davis
Tyus Jones
Max Christie
Cam Reddish
Rui Hachimura
Walker Kessler
Christian Wood

[FRPCVince]

Ware as stretch big and shot blocking potential on the weak side is very appealing!
