| I don't feel he is a last resort signing like JR and Dion were last year. With the current lack of production from the SG"s I hope Vogel gives him a test run. |

Why would either be looking over their shoulders for him?
Both are better shooters and defenders.
Maybe Caruso and THT? |

Guess with only 3 days left Lakers don’t think they could get anyone else

| Welcome Ben McLemore, hopefully he can provide us the same way he did last year for the Rockets. |

Yeah, doubt an Avery Bradley reunion was realistic anyway, dude is dealing with yet another injury (knee soreness). |

| Anyone know if McLemore will be available against the Raptors or will Vogel have him do practice? |

Well if this game was in Canada 100% NO, still very doubtful, even much better player AD2 had to get a practice in before playing. |

| 2018-20 he shot well from three (above 40%), and then not so well this current season. So, it's all about whether he can get his act together and get back to his previous shooting accuracy. |

| This gives Vogel more flexibility to run small ball lineups with Ben at the 3 at least until Lebron returns. Wes may be the odd man out as he already was benched earlier in the season and only started playing regularly due to Lebron's injury. |

Yeah, if BMck was already struggling to find his shot prior to signed with LAL then you know he's doomed. |

Ironically Wes is currently shooting better than BML and he’s also a much better defender.

Can’t take much of what he’s doing with the Rockets this year because they are a dumpster fire, I would compare this addition to how McLemore played last year for the Rockets |

ESPN piece on McLemore from January 2020:
ESPN LINK
Sounds like he needed direction and instruction at the get-go, and really thrived whenever he got it. Hope it works out well for him and that he can stick here. |

Wes has been a joke all year....let's see what Ben can do....I'm pretty sure Ben wont hit the bottom of the rim on a lay-up. Plus we need offense more than defense at this point. |

| How does his D compare to Quinn Cook's - who's roster spot he's filling. |

| It be a nice change of pace to have a shooter find his stroke in purple and gold. The trend has been shooters losing their touch in purple and gold. Danny freaking Green is back to about 41% now. |

What is with the "signing of people" on the day there's a game, which makes it so the new signee cannot play in that game -_-

Still have enough salary left to sign someone else. Would just need to cut someone like McKinnie or Dudley to free up a spot if anyone interesting becomes available. |

Casuals wouldn't even notice, this is not an issue with most people. It's a conspiracy to annoy the hardcore fans. LOL! |
