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.
Basically, if Lakers sign Markieff to minimum for him, they can still sign 15 players. If they sign him for the 20% Non Bird raise, then they can only sign 14 players and stay under the hard cap. Keeping McKinney, who is good wing defender, waiving Bell.
Lakers coaches also considering THT as backup point guard behind Schroder and Caruso. Ideally, Lakers best next option is Markieff. Also likes Ilyasova and Cousins. And Dudley. Great stream from Eric that you can click to watch parts and copy screens. Great way to learn more about the salary cap.
I’m in agreement. If we can keep Mckinnie, that’d be great. I didn’t anticipate getting assets back for Javale. Rob struck again!
