I’m putting it out there that I’m still very interested in a basketball job. Open to any league, team, or company. Obviously scouting is what I have the most experience in, but I’m very open to other opportunities as well.

know we haven’t seen it on the court yet, but I am curious to know where people would rank the Lakers amongst the west on paper

LaRavia was the best acquisition the Kings got this deadline

Yeah that extra roster spot isn’t much of an asset
Potential buyout candidates all teams can sign: Seth Curry Cam Reddish Josh Richardson Jaden Springer Patty Mills Daniel Theis P.J. Tucker Reggie Jackson Johnny Davis Jalen Hood-Schifino

Fwiw I would’ve preferred Duren to Williams
The Lakers reportedly contacted the Pistons about Jalen Duren before trading for Mark Williams, per @BrettSiegelNBA “Before pulling off a big move for Williams, Pelinka made several calls around the league to inquire about athletic big men with rim-protecting abilities. League sources say Robert Williams, Myles Turner, and Jericho Sims were big men on the Lakers' radar. Although their asking prices were too steep, Los Angeles also inquired about Jakob Poeltl with Toronto and Jalen Duren with Detroit, sources confirmed.” (Via

@advancedstats23 Luka dramatically shifts how this team functions, and while I share the defensive concerns, I think the Lakers have a fairly idealistic offensive structure that can really reduce stops and how a team goes about adjusting throughout any given game

For Laker fans hoping to bring in a rotation player via the buy out market, I would temper expectations. Rarely do buy out players move the needle, and this year seems especially dry given the new CBA stipulations.

@MrLakeShow I think with a legitimate starting caliber center now, we do have a shot at contending. Far from favorites still, but this does open a window that didn’t exist last week

@MrLakeShow I would’ve preferred to go for a player who already has shown a higher level of defensive aptitude, but I do like that Mark is much younger and on a rookie scale deal still.

@MrLakeShow Irrespective of Charlotte, Mark has never been a great instinctual defender with + awareness. He’s so massive that he can suck up space quick, which gives me hope, but with this current roster I would’ve preferred a higher tier defensive anchor

Lakers could still use a defensive minded backup big, along with a POA defender taller than 6’0”. I’d guess we are done for this deadline, but the Lakers have quickly become the most unpredictable team in the league.

W trade deadline by the Wizards so far. Cissoko and Johnson are nice low cost swings to take for a franchise that is on their current timeline
