I can easily see us picking up his option. We gonna lose some players next year but he has shown that he can play within the system and could develop as a rotational role player.

He will be a cheaper contract than a min veteran player. So yes, it's worth to have him.

He's way better than an end-of-the-bench player - he has substance but little flash so gets overlooked.


idk if he's way better if we're talking about a Contending team. I could see him as one of the last rotation players on a lottery team for sure but on a Contender he's about where he should be imo. He's reliable enough to absolutely count on for spot minutes or some games here and there when injuries hit us hard like recently but not as a regular rotation guy.

He's a much better player then Dudley though without question and is also right in his prime years currently. I could see him being a solid contributor in a series with the Clippers especially as that extra guy to throw at Kawhi or PG13.

I think he's matching and/or outplaying Wes/Dudley/Cacok/Antetokounpo, which puts him at 11 on the current Lakers.
This team is very top heavy (six legit 5's/4's), so on a better balanced roster he'd be 9-10 - which is a borderline rotation player.

Don’t knock Dudley tho, he’s one of those few player that sit cold for 2-3 Q then come in and can hit open 3s

He has played well in limited minutes on both sides. He’s 28. They should keep him. If this team loses depth in the future (either just from losing players or by losing depth to add a third all star type) he could be a valuable contributor on the court.

He is under contract for 2 more years ( not guaranteed)

Yea don’t understand waving him tbh… Only 28 good size wing 3&D guy. Perfect end of the bench guy. Cap casualty?

Making room for DS or sign and trade spot?

That and you let him go find a spot somewhere else. He gets a couple hundred k as a payout now and then finds a home somewhere for a new vet min deal which makes him more than he would have made.
