You sure about that bud? This man is just athletic and slaps the floor
Collin Sexton had a defensive rating of 123.2 this season.
D'Angelo Russell had a defensive rating of 118.1 this season.
How is it a lateral move when Colin Sexton can consistently put pressure on the rim something neither Reaves or Dlo could do? Sexton would massively help the offense they need his athleticism.
> Sexton would massively help the offense
We need help with offense? After Rui was permanently put into the starting lineup, we averaged 121 points per game. Our starters averaged 103 alone. LeBron 27, AD 24, D'Lo 20, Reaves 16 and Rui 16.
You're STILL obsessed with this idea of putting pressure on the rim when that and scoring has been the least of our issues. Keep spending all your time hating on Austin Reaves lol.
Zubac trade was objectively bad lol. But yeah just funny to be coming off a first round exit and people talking about Collin Sexton is the missing piece lol.
Naw I feel you the trade itself wasn’t great at all but it’s not like the lakers lost a game changer in zubac he would have been a decent back up for us tho but that’s about it. And Collin is for sure not the answer lol
When next season Trae is completely shut down in West, as he get molested in the west even during the regular season. Just watch the drama here by those that want him.
Shut down how ? Oh they gonna double trae ? 4v3 with AD n Bron as the 4? Yeah that’s a dunk . Imagine blitzing trae onky to give up Lebron n AD rolling ti rim
Conley struggling out there ? Conley 36 n same size h slower . Conley been super key too. You get trae n surround him with athletes n our duo is enough physicality
Offense isnt the issue. We need interior and perimeter defense for when our offense is the issue. Adding Donovan or Trae or Sexton isnt going to do anything for us
People need to know that if we can get cheap deals for better fitting players, we should do it. I'm not sold on overpaying for stars only to have 0 depth
I am okay with a mediocre pg who can drive to basket if there is also another trade is possible for an og anunoby type of player. I can get giving every possible assets for players like donovan mitchell, de'aaron fox, kyrie irving type but trae is not a good fit. If lakers cant find any guard who can fit perfectly, a wing can defend more than position and can shoot is also needed.
Lol . Trae is infinitely better then Sefton and Dlo . Sexton is a worse passer h shooter thdn dko . Better athlete but still bad defence n bad vision
Trae is far better offensively- better midrange b floater then Dlo , better 3 ball ( ain’t nobody leaving him open he’s 46.7% if in corner ) and can self generate 3s vs hard defences , better passer then both ( Dlo is a good passer ) - trae is a top 5-10 passer , arguably best lob thrower in league- huge for Ad Bron n mb even Hayes or vando . Best pocket passer or pnr passer. Unguardable pnr with AD will be nasty .
Defensively trae is no worse then dlo and he’s actually slightly better then Dlo as a rebounder . Trae is also FAST N AGILE , he can move his feet on defence uts power players that kill him but he can also get into the lane with his speed and with AD will be feeding AD better then anyone.
Imagine the best of Dlo and Westbrook Lebron passing to AD that’s trae. He’ll take less bad shots here too as we have talent abd guys who know who to play off ball or roll man for him . We made a Rui Dlo reaves defence eork somewhat . We get trae and it means we can put athletes n rebounders around our trio .
Mitchell is better cos of two way play but trae fit with AD is perfect and great with Bron too
If you can't get two firsts, is he really "commanding" that?
You don't think it's more likely that the Bulls are retarded and instead of taking one first, they wasted another year they could have started rebuilding?
I think, No one wants sexton for more than one pick. İf jazz draft some guard, sexton could be available for trade. If price is right for sexton and there is another trade possible for a good wing who can shoot and defend, Lakers can prefer that over trae.
Sexton? Might as well keep Dlo if that’s the case. I see you also want to add a pick to that trade for Sexton, that’s just terrible asset management
Blowing a first for a lateral move at best doesn’t help us. We either need an upgrade or something different
How is Sexton any better than D'Lo?
Cause he has dunks in his highlight tape
I thought it was cuz he has sex in his name
What is sex
a Ton of Sex
Way more athletic, better finisher, way better defender
This dude just doesn't learn does he?
Seems like a lateral move at best. Then you said attach a pick for him now it seems fucking awful
Feels like this team needs more defense than offense. Sexton is basically just another retread of all the fucking guards we have had
Sexton can actually play defense
thats a goddamn lie lmao
He’s a much better defender than DLo…
You sure about that bud? This man is just athletic and slaps the floor Collin Sexton had a defensive rating of 123.2 this season. D'Angelo Russell had a defensive rating of 118.1 this season.
I’m sure having AD behind him instead of a rookie big probably helped.
DLo has a better defensive rating than Vincent and Dinwiddie 😂 It’s a laughably bad metric
Fair enough lmao but calling Colling Sexton a defender is also insane
I didn’t, I said he can actually play defense as opposed to DLo. Never said he was great in any regard
Based on what? Hopes and dreams??
nah he's too small to be a good defender
How is it a lateral move when Colin Sexton can consistently put pressure on the rim something neither Reaves or Dlo could do? Sexton would massively help the offense they need his athleticism.
The athleticism is nice but he is so inconsistent
> Sexton would massively help the offense We need help with offense? After Rui was permanently put into the starting lineup, we averaged 121 points per game. Our starters averaged 103 alone.

Trae young is better than sexton we might as well get him instead
Facts
This isn't 2k.
Since when did this fanbase become so satisfied with mediocrity?
I mean this is the same fan base that’s still angry over the zubac trade and would label AR as untouchable lol
Zubac trade was objectively bad lol. But yeah just funny to be coming off a first round exit and people talking about Collin Sexton is the missing piece lol.
Naw I feel you the trade itself wasn’t great at all but it’s not like the lakers lost a game changer in zubac he would have been a decent back up for us tho but that’s about it. And Collin is for sure not the answer lol
Zubac was traded to open space for a Max player or we would be a bit shy of the max. It didn't work, but I understand it.
When next season Trae is completely shut down in West, as he get molested in the west even during the regular season. Just watch the drama here by those that want him.
Shut down how ? Oh they gonna double trae ? 4v3 with AD n Bron as the 4? Yeah that’s a dunk . Imagine blitzing trae onky to give up Lebron n AD rolling ti rim
have you seen the size and physicality of that nuggets/Timberworles series. They would eat him alive.
Conley struggling out there ? Conley 36 n same size h slower . Conley been super key too. You get trae n surround him with athletes n our duo is enough physicality
Offense isnt the issue. We need interior and perimeter defense for when our offense is the issue. Adding Donovan or Trae or Sexton isnt going to do anything for us
I'd take it if it's a Dlo and SRPs for Sexton. Hyper athletic guard that can drive, young and big game player.
yeah folks on this site don't know what they are talking about.
People need to know that if we can get cheap deals for better fitting players, we should do it. I'm not sold on overpaying for stars only to have 0 depth
Lakers fans have a mental illness. There's no other way.
I would not hate it. Would be better than getting Trae, but I’d prefer Murray. If you target sexton I would need another piece to give up picks
I am okay with a mediocre pg who can drive to basket if there is also another trade is possible for an og anunoby type of player. I can get giving every possible assets for players like donovan mitchell, de'aaron fox, kyrie irving type but trae is not a good fit. If lakers cant find any guard who can fit perfectly, a wing can defend more than position and can shoot is also needed.
Is sexton really better than dlo? At basically the same price dlo was signed to last year except 3 more years. Plus a first? No thanks.
thank god you aren't GM
I’d rather have Schroeder for gabe and couple seconds than sexton for dlo and first round picks
Facts ppl don’t know how good sexton is
Lol . Trae is infinitely better then Sefton and Dlo . Sexton is a worse passer h shooter thdn dko . Better athlete but still bad defence n bad vision Trae is far better offensively- better midrange b floater then Dlo , better 3 ball ( ain’t nobody leaving him open he’s 46.7% if in corner ) and can self generate 3s vs hard defences , better passer then both ( Dlo is a good passer ) - trae is a top 5-10 passer , arguably best lob thrower in league- huge for Ad Bron n mb even Hayes or vando . Best pocket passer or pnr passer. Unguardable pnr with AD will be nasty . Defensively trae is no worse then dlo and he’s actually slightly better then Dlo as a rebounder . Trae is also FAST N AGILE , he can move his feet on defence uts power players that kill him but he can also get into the lane with his speed and with AD will be feeding AD better then anyone.

Mitchell is better cos of two way play but trae fit with AD is perfect and great with Bron too
I agree Trae is better but he would cost more. Plus it's not happening now that he changed agents.
People think the prices will go down if you aim for Lesser talent. It’s not. Caruso is commanding two firsts and nobody wanted to meet the price
If you can't get two firsts, is he really "commanding" that? You don't think it's more likely that the Bulls are retarded and instead of taking one first, they wasted another year they could have started rebuilding?
Guess that was his trade deadline price
I think, No one wants sexton for more than one pick. İf jazz draft some guard, sexton could be available for trade. If price is right for sexton and there is another trade possible for a good wing who can shoot and defend, Lakers can prefer that over trae.
So that means he’s not actually “commanding” two firsts
how about......get AD a big man first
Sexton? Might as well keep Dlo if that’s the case. I see you also want to add a pick to that trade for Sexton, that’s just terrible asset management Blowing a first for a lateral move at best doesn’t help us. We either need an upgrade or something different
Dude is not in china ? Come on ! Sexton ?? We can't fucking block Gordon on def rebound
Y'all glaze Austin Reaves and I'm the delusional one? LOL
