Hayes has a player option, which Lakers would need to pay if he's waived so they're probably not gonna do that.
Lakers have an open roster spot anyways so Hayes doesnt need to be waived.
wouldn't need 3-4 centers so waiving hayes and opening up a roster spot would make sense, but yeah with his player option probably wont get waived.
assuming rui were to get traded, could play wood at the back up 4 and biyombo would be the back up 5 which would be a way better fit on court than Wood at the 5
Darko Rajakovic has been fined $25,000 for publicly criticizing the officiating following the Toronto Raptors' 132-131 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
I sill think our best starting 5 is
AD, Bron, Rui, Max, Reaves
Should be letting them build chemistry. A good coach would have Rui and Christie reach potential
Darvin Ham says Cam Reddish is still going through his pregame process and āin all likelihoodā will play tonight vs. Phoenix.
Darvin Ham says that Rui Hachimura had a good workout today and theyāre hoping heāll be able to return in the Lakersā next game on Saturday night.
Everyone should take "day to day" with a grain of salt, especially with this Lakers medical staff.
It takes three weeks on average for a grade 1 sprain to heal properly.
Fastest I see Rui coming back is in 2 weeks. So he should come around Jan 13th.
Saturday is Jan 13.
Right on time.
Christian Wood (migraine) has been downgraded to questionable for tonight vs. Phoenix, per Lakers.
Nobody wins when the family feuds
Darvin Ham was asked if they have had enough games with everyone in the lineup to properly evaluate what their needs are (if any) or if they still need more time to evaluate:
"We got enough in our locker room right now to get some stuff done, to get a lot of stuff done in short order. Anything long-term beyond that, you might want to talk to Rob Pelinka."
Lakersā starters vs. Phoenix:
Austin Reaves
Taurean Prince
Cam Reddish
LeBron James
Anthony Davis
Christian Wood officially ruled out

Heās horrible, the drop off defense is dogshit too
the trade market cant save us š
even if we did get a good player whats the point because we have a dogshit ass coach
Iāve been saying it for a couple years. Lakers needed to trade AD away to fully rebuild after the complete f*** up to trade for Westbrook.

double down on stupidity?
the lakers are:
the lakers are:
i also saw a stat that said weāre 30 wide open threes away from the 29th ranked team⦠thats so f***ing awful

overhelping WAY too much, it's like on every damn defensive possession we're helping out just to give up a wide open 3.
saw someone mention the first possession of last night's game, beal drives at AD and bron helps out and he kicks out to allen for a 3. like why the f*** are you helping out AD with guarding beal
team has so many issues to fix, coaching and roster wise. both vando and reddish being in the rotation is an issue in itself
