Quote: ESPN sources say Lakers bringing in Israeli PG Gal Mekel for audition this week. Which makes sense given how much Lakers need a shot-creator

With so many names being bought up.... for a work-out.... there has to be something brewing..... you don't bring so many players to work out with only 1 potential roster-spot open assuming someone gets cut.... seems like a very weird situation.

X-Ray Henry is a dead man walking. I'm almost certain he's getting cut.
Also spotted, PostandPivot at the Lakers practice facility. In his application, he wrote, "I can destroy Kobe on the post." _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

I'm not going to lie - I actually like this. The dude can REALLY play the pick n' roll. Dallas is just loaded with point guards.
He can finish in the paint with a real smooth floater/runner, but he's always making the right play. TBH it's not like you're going to find a crazy talent - but I'm happy he's getting a workout. I think he can do A LOT more than Ronnie Price.
This video shows a lot of what he can do:

He has just very recently been released (cut) in China and might not be back yet in the U.S. for a tryout with the Lakers.

Not bad, very similar game to Lin. I wonder why he didn't stick with Dallas when Felton still has a job there.

So replace scrub with scrub? As coach Wooden said, don't confuse activity with accomplishment. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Bringing in Hamilton hopefully means Wes is gonna get traded or benched for the rest of the season...

Traded?
Roughly how many teams do you think are calling Mitch about the possibility of trading for Wes (when possible)?

Q miller is 22/23 and has potential while Wes @28 is who he is. nothing going to change.
Mekel we need cause we need another shot creater. Sacre has been horrible. the guy cannot seat a screen for god sake
