   Not a bad move. Got an elite 3-point shooter, which we desperately need, plus save $500K. Cost only second round pick. Would have preferred using second round pick to get Robert Williams.

   Well Lakers need shooting and they might've gotten the best shooter.

   Of 145 shooters that have more than 1000 three-point attempts over the last 5 seasons Kennard is miles above at no.1 at 46%.

   1. Luke Kennard 46.0%

   2.Greyson Allen 41.6%
   3.Sam Hauser 41.5% https://t.co/LrQZ07whsP

   Kennard is making $500K less than Gabe this year so the Lakers have a little extra room under that first apron to sign a buyout player if no other trades are made. https://t.co/gVdLOF28P0

   Luke Kennard addresses one of the Lakers biggest needs BY FAR 🤯

   Great….another one-dimensional player who does nothing to help our horrible defense. Where are his minutes even coming from?

   With the addition of Luke Kennard, the Lakers now possess 2 elite floorspacing release valves that opponents must respect and react to

   With Rui, and now Kennard, LAL has the luxury of having perimeter gravity on the floor at all times based on preferred lineup combos
