Much as I love Austin Reaves, going to be hard to find a point guard better than D’Angelo Russell. Best solution might be to try and sign Gabe Vincent for the $12.2M NT MLE and let D’Angelo walk.
But Vincent might not want to leave Miami or might want more than Lakers could pay, so there is a scenario where Russell is the Lakers best bet at point, especially with LeBron turning 39.
We talk alot about The Joker but the huge gap in point guard play was probably the biggest factor in us getting swept outta the post-season. Murray absolutely killed us. D.Russell has proven time & again that he ain’t built for late April & May. But with our salary constraints, we may be stuck with him…
