I get that Marc may not pass the eye test for some people, but you can’t have a top 3 defense without AD if your starting center is garbage on that side of the ball.

There's no way possible anyone can look at a 20 yr old doing this & be willing to throw him in a trade for a middle of the pack roll player. His ability to find angles & use his strength on both offense & defense are way beyond his years & he has natural playmaking ability. If we aren't getting back a relatively young guy back in a deal other teams can keep it

Lakers are hardcapped, so it's pretty much buyout market or no moves at all.

Aldridge isn't the exact player the Lakers need, but let's say he gets bought-out and wants to sign. Do you wait for someone like Drummond or Whiteside to become available, or just sign Aldridge?

LA is basically a Gasol 2.5
I think CLE doesn't do a deal by next Thursday, they'd buy him out pretty quickly he's been sitting for a month already.

I wonder how close Drummond and KCP were in Detroit.

Gotta get that thang tailored man.....
I went ahead and pre-ordered the AD swingman, with all the pandemic supply chain logistics and what not, delayed release, covid resellers.....I have a feeling these are going to FLY.

Don't wait for Drummond. Get Aldridge ASAP if he is bought out.

What does Aldridge bring to this team that Gasol Doesn't, Isn't Bigger, doesn't rebound either, just as slow, more aggressive on offense but worse on defense.
Bringing in Aldridge is a waste of a roster spot, it just doesn't add anything we need, Especially when AD is back.

LMA>>>Marc
he can get buckets and jump more than 1.8 centimeters off the floor.
having someone else who might go for 20 points once a week would be nice.

Lol I think you haven’t seen Aldridge play since 2010

Yes bc the ppg on the box score is how we built this team to a title last year.
while we are at it we should trade Caruso for chucks Atkins.

Aldridge is so bad that the Spurs, during a playoff run (sitting in top 7 now) is willing to sit him out rather then play him lol. Think about that.

My main target on a buy out would be Dieng.
don’t get me wrong about Aldridge. If he comes in and says I wanna play for lakers and will do anything to win, even be the Dudley role then sure I’ll take him. But he won’t. He wants that melo, as much PT and shots as possible. Etc.

Let’s see if Vogel actually looked ahead in the schedule and realized we have 8 games in 12days and goes deep in the rotation to keep guys fresh for that mid April to playoffs run
who am I kidding. Lebron kcp and Shroeder will play 55 mins each tonight
