He's paying Grimes & Sexton more than Smart & Kennard went for

Grimes contract alone would've been enough for Smart & Kennard

please at least sign Thybulle

Lakers got fleeced lmao gave up 2 first round picks for Kessler and didn’t even get to dump any trash like vando or Laravia in the process, str8 cap space taken lmaooo

Basically Carr and Theiro have to hit

Shut the Lakers down

could've just signed Smart and gave him the room exception instead of Sexton but Rob Pelinka does not care about defense

He's addicted to combo guards

signing Grimes wasn't enough

Jonathan Isaac is gone

Bro was so stingy with the picks while LeBron was around only to use them just for the permission to overpay Kessler, hilarious

I get the feeling Marcus is gonna be another DFS and fall off next season and we'll be looking like we dodged a bullet.

Are you dumb

He used picks to be able to pay Kessler at a fair price. Otherwise, the Jazz would've matched at this number and Rob would've probably had to pay closer to a max to get him without a sign and trade, which would've left us without cap space to make the other signings.

Still think there's a trade and a signing or two coming. We're going to get a wing lol

Where does our shooting come from? Grimes? LaRavia?

F*** Danny Ainge man he really wanted every pick…. We still need a starting caliber wing

pretty sure grimes shoots around 40% on catch and shoot 3s for his career, sexton is a high 30s to 40% shooter, mamu shot 39% on 4 attempts last year. not to mention, kessler is working the 3 into his game, luka is a volume shooter, and reaves' volume in 3s will go up.

QG gonna ball out

This the 3rd option

kelly oubre would be nice

but would he really come for the vet min

i think we're going to get a player for the min that people wouldnt expect and im expecting a move to clear up some cap space/or replaces some combo of ayton/vando/dalton with a useable player

“Fair price” 135 mill AND 2 first round picks AND 2 pick swaps for an unproven injury prone big that played 5 games last year and never been to playoffs, sybau lmao

Jazz about to have better record than lakers and EAT with those pick swaps lmao

Sure Grimes is fine when he’s the main scorer on the floor. He’s inconsistent as f*** when he’s not

Kessler was the best big on the market. The pick swaps mean nothing if the Lakers are good during those seasons

Kessler is a double double machine in 25mpg in his early career. Hes also an elite shot blocker. If he stays healthy he will be fantastic

I’m with left side this a 7 to 8 seed next season and they have no draft picks going forward so I don’t see that changing any time soon while jazz are on the rise

If bron were still here it d be a different story but losing bron and smart rui and Kennard for these acquisitions paints a nasty picture

Kessler can only do so much on defense with all these cones around him

I agree the roster still has holes but Kessler the least of my worries rn
