Nice touch pass by DS. Kuzma running it out even though Lebron had a clean break away deserves some love too

What is up with Schroeder?

0-4 in the 1st half, can't make a free throw, turn the ball over 5 times.

And this guy wants $20 mil/year? WTF?

He's playing like garbage. I would look into trading him before the deadline.

It’s reminding me of Kuz in that he is pressing.

Imo he will be fine, we really need him.

Folks not thinking this one through.

Trezz likely gone next year. So we will have to replace his production with the taxpayer MLE (which is about half of the full MLE).

And for saying to not re-sign Dennis, ok. How are you going to replace him? With the vet's minimum?

I don't think THT is ready and AC is better as a bench defensive sparkplug.

There is a reason why the Lakers went after Dennis. They will try to keep him lest they lose him and now you have to replace Trez and Dennis with just the taxpayer MLE.

So let me make this clear if the extension decision drags out until March 25 do the Lakers basically put DS in trade discussions and get something for him instead of letting him walk in FA? I don’t know why it’s taking so long to come to a agreement, I don’t even think we will get equal value in a trade because all it took was Green and a 28th pick to acquire Schroeder.

Schroder's play has been inconsistent this year. I believe Vogel needs to adjust his role on the team to help solve this problem.

His best year (2019) essentially saw him have a reduced role as a PG having to share court time with ball dominant Chris Paul and SGA. Having the ability to primarily concentrate on scoring would hopefully improve his efficiency, keep him fresh to sustain his defensive effort throughout the year and to be a secondary distributor but not necessarily a primary creator for others.

This offense would still work having 2 combo G's sharing the backcourt.

Less play making responsibility would help minimize one of his problems as a distributor - turnovers. He makes ill advised passes and tends to dribble into the teeth of the defense where his lack of height hinders him. Both were on display last night.

His best attributes offensively is his ability to attack the paint and draw fouls which he backs up with high ft%. I feel having the ability to work off the ball and have better spacing for his forays to the hoop will lead to less contested shots and better efficiency. Another byproduct may be an improvement in his 3pt shooting.

I believe the smart asset management move is to either extend him at 3 years 45-50M. Or move him via trade. As Yinoma pointed out, there is no way you wanna leave this to FA, as you may lose both Trez and Dennis and only have the FA MLEs after.

There are some big names available, and I am not sure the Lakers are thinking a big move, but if they do not get a deal done with Dennis, I am sure they have to consider a move for bringing in a longterm asset.

That said, I think their primary goal will remain to re-sign Dennis into that longterm asset. But 80M over 4, is just too much for a player of his caliber, I hope something gets done in between that 80M figure and a MLE amount. He is definitely a worthwhile investment, flaws and all.

He is getting paid 15.5m now so that has to be the minimum he’s seeking. It’s worse. It’s the non full MLE we would have to replace Trezz AND Dennis. We would be much worse next year. And we would also have AC/THT being more expensive too.

So does DS know something we don't? It seems that he just coughed up almost $4.3 million for a new SoCali home in Tarzana.

His last contract was 4 years, $70 million.

Sadly, that's no indicator.

Lakers aren’t sold that he can be a difference maker on a championship team (which is what his salary would dictate that he must be).

If they did, he would be signed by now.

I think the Lakers should package him in a trade before it’s too late.. but I’m sure I’m in the minority on that on this message board.. many seem to be infatuated for some reason. Is he better than a prime Derek Fisher? I think the answer is obviously not.

I wouldn’t pay close to 20 million dollars for an undersized slasher who doesn’t make good decisions and has a somewhat odd shooting stroke.

So according to you, he's not that good. But we should just package him for a more meaningful player? If he's as bad as you say he is, we wouldn't get a good player back in return. So which is it?

Remember, the Lakers, basically sight unseen, offered him the 2 year extension which he rejected b/c he wants 4 years. If anything, the Lakers realize they need to extend him or find themselves having to replace Trezz AND Dennis for a measly 4.5-5m taxpayer MLE.

No one is saying he's worth a 30m max. But he is a contributor to the team. How did we fare when he was out recently (0-4)?

Obviously, AD/LBJ are main focus of the team. But this shows how much Dennis positively impacts the team as well. Don't look at just the aggregate stats.
