The higher volume of threes is critical for Lakers. Ball and Reddick together shot 37.5% and created 141 more points or 5.64 additional points per game than Schroder and KCP who only shot 36.4% combined. That’s ignoring KCP’s shooting decline and Lonzo’s shooting ascension.

This is the kind of trade Rob needs to be seeking. The Lakers are losing the 3-point differential. They’re making 10.9 threes per game (26th best) and allowing 11.3 threes per game (3rd best). Problem is not 3PT defense. It’s 3PT offense. Need high vol and high % 3PT shooters.

While Lonzo has his flaws, he’s the best defender and playmaker among the 4 players and a perfect fit for LeBron and AD. Reddick is not a long term solution and hasn’t played well this year but if he rebounds, he could be another high vol, high % 3-point shooter the Lakers need.

KEVIN LOVE TO LAKERS?

Cavs are small market team that could be looking to slash expenses and accelerate their rebuild (aka tank). Might be interested in 4 Lakers' expiring contracts (Green, McGee, Bradley, and Cook) for Kevin Love, who would be ideal 'small ball' center for LA. pic.twitter.com/7WSl9vFxm5

It would appear that Jacque Vaughn will remain as lead assistant, Mike D'Antonio will handle the offense, Ime Udoka defense, Amar'e Stoudemire big man duties and Adam Harrington will continue to run player development. Beyond that, staff and duties uncertain.
