Drummond or Tillman.
@@maxcady5287 if drummond can make a layup, because with the lakers, it's like he forgot how to rebound and make layups.
@@interfaceking1137 Three years ago expectations were bigger than nowadays. now he's a good role player coming off bench, i think he can handle that now.
@@maxcady5287 I hear that, that's a very valid point. I think if drummond can rebound, and play the pick and roll and make his layups and give the energy, lakers front court will be very strong and reliable. one thing they lacked this eason was a big body in the paint, they were able to offset it by also playing vando alot of the time, but him going down really cost them the playoffs, I still believe with a healthy vando they would have been a serious threat and wouldn't have choked those leads, because he gives energy and extra possessions and hustle that they missed alot of the time
@@interfaceking1137 I agree, Vando is pretty important since he is our best defender along side AD.
Xavier Tillman 💪
I'd like to get back to (as close to) the 2020 formula and idk if tillman is the guy to guard the opposing team's center while AD roams. I'd want a true 7footer bc when Jokic is at his spots he can just throw it over the top like we saw with rui and a 7footer with length can bother him more. And tillman was getting torched by AD last postseason. Bitadze is interesting tho
we need rebounding and help guarding Jokic. Drummond fits that role the best
Xavier Tillman/Goga Bitadze or draft bigs like DaRon Holmes or Kel'el Ware
I think Drummond would be the best big body and great rebounder. Run him and AD together and maybe sign Dwight for a defensive big off the bench
I think going after Valanciunas would do wonders for the bench. Obviously he wouldn’t start with AD otherwise the driving lanes would be clogged but he could help generate offence and maintain production on the boards once AD sits. Kelly Olynyk would be another option: he can shoot, is a decent half court playmaker, and has handles. He could be the backup big or even start with AD given his shooting.
I like jonas big body has a euro playstyle can stretch immovable on the post good post game ye he lowkey the missing piece
@@MineDesigned The thing with Valanciunas is that he can’t switch on defence and he gets destroyed in the pick and roll (watch what happens every time the Lakers play New Orleans). He also isn’t a reliable floor spacer yet, so pick and pops with him usually don’t work. That’s why I think if the FO somehow gets him they still shouldn’t start him with AD.
@@jadenng7569 thats why him and ad together is deadly cuz ad can just roam and ad is one of the best roam / gap / help defender out there esp how much he covers the floor, have jonas body to body opposing center and if gets beat they still have to go through AD, now offensively no team can reliable guard AD 1on1 he usually gets double if he can unlock his 3pt shooting than it will be deadly. similair ot that boogie and ad combo
@@MineDesigned Yh but you’re assuming AD can still shoot like 2020 lmao, if he can’t do that the spacing will be cramped since Jonas isn’t very reliable from three either. But if AD can shoot like he was in 2020 Jonas could start with him.
@@jadenng7569 ad can shoot he can always shoot, if they figure a way to get a traditional big im sure he'll be get his rhythm back plus they got cwood already hybrid stretch who would match well with a traditional C
I been saying we should have went after Caruso and Drummond since last season smh
well bulls wernt gonna give anyone
@@SISKCERTWaJaVlogs they have been in no man’s land ever since lonzo went down they ain’t good enough to compete or ass enough to get 1st round pick in the lottery.
@@TimetototallywatchCinema bulls FO is hella stubborn treating them like prime mj 😂
Tillman is an interesting fit. He can play 4 & 5 with is golden for AD
Would be a perfect fit if Tillman was a more efficient 3pt shooter.
Great video! Always love the graphics and detailed breakdowns
Nba stats are deceiving, we need to look at the eye test if they provide energy or if they can relay to them.

Lebron. Vanderbilt. Covington
Davis. Wood. Watford
Capela. Drummond. Thompson
Yea your a dumbass
Not as long as Rob Pelinka is our GM. He's totally clueless about how to build a team.
I feel like AD would be there best bet, not only because he played with Lebron and AD briefly for only about 1/3 of the 2020-21 season. And coincidentally, I think I had commented this last video lol. His physical presence, as well as his very efficient rebounding would be very valuable and much needed against bigs that produce a huge percentage of their offense around the paint, such as Jokic. Offensively he's limited, which is noted, but he can be a pick and roll threat for either lobs, or quick open dashes to the rim, maybe even the dunker's spot. Also, his physique can make other opposing bigs have to work for their offense, causing them to exert more energy, which can be easy rebounds turned into fastbreak points for the Lakers. Not to mention he's somewhat quick to make reads in the passing lanes, averaging almost 1.0 SPG, which is pretty damn good given his height and weight. I'd trade Hayes for Drummond, and then now the LAL would have their 3 towers, maybe even 4 if they GET DWIGHT HOWARD!!!!
Love Dwight but he isn't good anymore, what has he done on the Lakers in 2022? Plus no other team has brought him back. Warriors did a workout with him, but didn't sign him last year. I like the rest of your points tho.
@@antoine6760 appreciate it💯 I just feel like Dwight can be somewhat of an “x-factor” for the LAL. And he’s still playing professionally, just not in America. I just think he could be very useful
But this is only of DLo opts in. There is no hard cap and therefore a possible MLE if he opts out, which is likely
I want Andre Drummond.
They had a back up center in Tristan Thompson. But let him walk out and didn’t play him enough. He did well with Cleveland!
Jonas and drummond is best fit for lakers ... I guess lakers new coaching back traditional lineup like 2020 rosters
Keep Hayes he's athletic sign another C that can play W AD and bobs your uncle
Hayes was improving, I think you keep him and add an additional big. Wood is a back up 4. AD, Hayes and Goga would be amazing
I think defensively he is the one that can get closest to being AD like and he is like 24, 5 years younger than most of those guys
Lakers need a center abit like Steve Adams
Pelinka has no brain in trade.😂😂😂 From 2020 NBA champ to busted team in 2021-2024
Sign JV and kelly olynk. Both will be perfect fit with AD
Better get Zach Edey.
He is much much much better than Drummond.
Dlo jhs 2 frp for murray... Gabe hayes frp and 2 seconds for caruso and drummond... Murray caruso vando bron a.d with reeves christie rui wood and drummond off the bench. Man wed be ELITE
Drummond is a free agent 😑
Bulls aren’t doing that trade . They want a FRP for Caruso
😂
I know it might not be possible but getting Alfred Sengun with AD would be a great combo imo..... Everything the AD, Marc Gasol line up was supposed to be. Then bring in Drummond, we already have woods and Hayes is more than likely coming back.
Sengun isn't a defender. Gasol is a terrible comparison.
@@BlueGrovylebetter defender than when gasol was with us. But I'm talking more about being able to make life easier for AD on the offensive end. On defense he's not a shot blocker but can hold his own in the post more often than not.
I dont think the rockets wanna move him, i thought he was part of their core with Jalen Green
@JSM24 The Lakers need to bring the Jokic killer back, Dwight Howard!!
If it was still 2020 then sure
Get the old squad back! Bring Drummond, Caruso back. Re-hire Frank V as coach. Bring on Rondo as an assistant. then go after a defensive guard, playmaker the trade market.
Drummond would be great but what are you going to give for Caruso? Hachimura is the guy that they might trade but he's 17 millions..
Isn’t rondo in jail😂?
@@maxcady5287 maybe package Gabe Vincent and JHS. Not sure I haven’t looked into it at depth.
@@Dreee10 he’s good he made bail! 😅
@@originalclassics yeah but Vincent has lost value since he spent most of season injured and he’s earning 11 millions next year and Caruso his last 9 millions with Bulls.
For an elite defender like Caruso bulls would ask for more, first rounds. It’s not that easy but I wish for it, lol.
Bismack Biyombo at backup center for the minimum and Dwight Howard as the third center also for the minimum.
Pelinka could've easily made both of these moves this year, and they'd still be in the playoffs.
Both these guys are strong and have a strong defensive pedigree. They provide muscle and protection in the paint for pennies. Problem solved.
I disagree on taking Drummond. Sure, Drummond is a great rebounder. However, that’s all he is good at. He is not the greatest shot blocker, doesn’t have good basketball iq, and has the lowest FG% for a center. We need a center that can help block shots like how Dwight Howard and Javale McGee helped the team. We need an anchor for AD in the backcourt to take away the pressure in the back court when guarding guys like Jokic
the caruso/drummond trade would literally add more to our team than getting a third star. id give both firsts for it
Both firsts for Caruso who’s a FA next summer and a backup C in Drummond lmao
Glad you’re not the GM
@@Beau838 its obviously with the intention of signing both of them to long contracts to pair them with ad after bron leaves? These types of players are in high demand. if youre not going the path of third star you are going to have to use the picks to upgrade as well u know that right? caruso, vanderbilt and ad are a good defensive core to build from and we'd have them all under contract until ad's ends. If u know the mysterious star who will be available for us this summer to use the picks on then im all ears
@@athanjourdan9312 you don’t shoot your whole load(the 2FRP’s) on just 1 trade for a player that’s 30 already and a backup big
I didn’t say there’s a star to get. Stop putting words in my mouth. I pointed the idiocy in giving up 2 FRP’s for those 2 players
Send me your venmo. I’ll Venmo you a grand if Pelinka does this stupid idea of a trade
None of the options solve lakers problem
All of them are backup bigs. You are not only putting bodies on the court and call it good enough.
Drummond is fools gold as you can see his performance in the lakers uniform
Maybe tillman is the better choice. Still a bit undersized against real bigs
I mean AD is gonna play the 5 in key moments anyway, just need someone that can play the 5 with him at the 4 depending on the matchup that can rebound and protect the rim.
Drummond.
Trade for Nick Richards
Draft Zach edey. Better than all these guys.
Facts
@@dwanbryant9448he’s not going to make it there
I guess it's just that easy huh
Yea good backup center but I hope he's still available by then
Fck no lmfao
Drummond was the best Center on that list.
Hell no they don't need smaller centers remember when the Lakers ran small ball lineup disadvantage and they need bigger body Luke kornet is a better idea fit he shows rim protection which they desperately need and rebound which helps ad
Drummond
Secure Fing Claxton then sign Javale Mcghee. Keep Jaxson.
Claxton is getting the bag this year, it's very unlikely
watching drummond missed dunks
Ingram 👏
Nothing to pick here. Get Valanciunas or Aquaman!
Lakers will be disappointed again with drummond...he's got the physical gifts but unfortunately he has low Basketball IQ
You want him to rebound... not to do the math on the pitch, lol.
@@maxcady5287horrible take. Every player needs iq😂. And they have Drummond before he was making zero noise
@@nathanvert767 lol
Go after Wiseman.
This
Give me Nic Claxton or Isiah Hartenstein!
Those are expensive.
That would be great, but they are way out of the Lakers price range. Gotta be realistic here
@@JSM24 sorry bro I feel you I looked at the exception we have and it's only the 5 mil
Bring back Drummond let AD and Woods play there traditional spot at the 4. Then go small ball as needed
We desperately need Zach Edey
Yes
Let’s get Drummond!!!!
Nice vid
Dwight Howard
Bring ad back 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
How bout dwight Howard
What about dewight Howard fool? He is the best center in the league
Steven Adams if he's healthy.
Why would the lakers again pick up Drummond
Trash
Drummond was with us before he sucks
1 or 4 then bring back Dwight trade Hayes and rui and a pick bring back ingram
Not sure why, but I kinda hoping coach Lebron opts out...
Andre Drummond 👍
We need a real center , we don’t have a true Center 7’2 or bigger
go get HOWARD!
Please trade for Aundre drummed!🤞
Should not have got ride of Drummond
IMO wood plays more like a 4
Get McGee
Kornet and tillman
if Drummond gets put on this roster imma go ahead and not watch a single game
bro come on. you know drummond is not a good option
PLEASE LAKERS SIGN ANDRE DRUMMOND & DWIGHT HOWARD.
Bring back Mcgee
Drummond can be very clumsy..Ive seen this movie before..don’t like it!
Please, stop with the 6’8” center crap! No can do!
Bronny at the 5
Tillman
Drummond is terrible. If that is the best option the lakers are doomed
Dwight and boogie should get a look to bring in mid season and help with playoffs
I hope this is sarcastic. I swear most of y’all be undercover Celtic fans with these terrible takes
Drummond is so bad dude.
See you later Jaxon Hayes.
Do not acquire Drummond he is a lazy player
Jaxon Hayes is trash. Lakers have to trade him.
Don’t sign Drum please don’t do it
