What you see is what you get

Aloha,

I think this is the Lakers roster for a while. Because salaries are prorated through the year the Lakers could sign a buyout player to a vet minimum contract in January.

As for a consolation trade I’m afraid that time has passed. Most teams rosters are set and can’t take on multiple players for one. I have been reading that Dalton is no longer viewed has having 1st round valuation. He seems to have played himself into 2nd rounder territory. It just seems like he is in his head. Unfortunately I don’t know if he will get the minutes to play himself out of his funk.

When you consider that we have little draft capital and an unwillingness to take on contracts beyond this year, you are looking at the roster as is.

I do think this a very good team that’s deeper and better than last year. But to truly contend we will need some internal growth. Which isn’t that far fetched. But for now, what you see is what you get.
