Josh, great rotation. You crushed it. Highlights what an awesome rotation we're going to have next season. I would like to see Rob vary starting Dennis and Wesley depending on the matchups. Playing a team with small point guard, go with Dennis. Big 2 or 3 scorer, go with Wes.

Making Sense of the Lakers Hard Cap Moves
LOL. Your reply makes zero sense. WTF does volume in a vacuum mean. You can’t make volume threes without taking volume threes and the only guys whom teams allow to take volume threes are those who make better than the league average. 10 out of 10 of the players with the most 3PA shot over 37.4%.
Current roster is not going to suddenly start taking and making more threes. Need different players to reduce the 10 to 20 point 3-point differential we give up to the other top three teams. Standing pat while everybody else improves is a recipe for a second round exit to the Clippers, Admiral Ackbar.
Only other way to make up the difference is via points in the paint or free throws. We’re better than the Clippers, Jazz, and Nets in PIP differential but not anywhere good enough to offset the 3PT DiF. Ttrading for an elite rim protector like Turner might be one way to help solve that. But obviously, you have now joined the rest of the ‘we don’t need a trade’ crew. Let’s just hope Rob Pelinka knows better.

Whose left for Lakers to add to their roster?
Some FA targets I’d have an eye on:
🟡 Kieff – switchable shooting big
🟣 Batum – wing & chaser defense
🟡 Korver – shooting
🟣 Boogie – upside flier
🟡 GR3 – shooting & chaser D https://t.co/QsOiffAbOS— Cranjis McBasketball (@Tim_NBA) November 23, 2020
