MrICopyYoSht | Knicks

73 | 7 hours ago

The Lakers can’t build him a good team anyways. A lot of their money is now tied up in Reaves and they have two negatives on defense and one of their best defenders just got signed away by the team they beat in the playoffs.

Might as well trade him while his value is at an all-time high and get a massive haul to reset the timeline, because the Lakers as they exist right now aren’t in contention for the WCF when Wemby and SGA exist. And that’s without counting Jokic or anyone else in the West.

Signal_Ball4634

I feel like this has to be the play for both Luka and the Lakers. I just don’t know what path the team takes to build a contender around Luka, whose prime is dwindling, with zero assets.

Really the only reason to keep him is for marketing’s sake, having a top player in the league on the Lakers. But does that matter when the best he can do is dragging the team to early playoff/play-in exits?

The problem now is the Lakers will have to overpay in dollars and assets for the RFAs. Dollars to convince the player to sign the offer sheet and assets since RFA teams will just threaten to match any offer sheet since they know the Lakers are desperate.

On top of that, the cap space disappears if it’s not used this summer because of Reaves’ new deal.

AgentOfSPYRAL | Lakers

616 | 7 hours ago

Imo yes. He’s from TX, played for Udoka before, and given Udokas whole shtick I’m sure he’s eager to hand most of Shepherd’s minutes to Smart.

With Luka and Reaves he’s basically just playing defense or running the bench unit in LA.

CIark

115 | 7 hours ago

Don’t think he’d be running the bench unit considering the lakers starters are basically gone besides Luka and AR

AgentOfSPYRAL | Lakers

71 | 6 hours ago

I’m saying with Luka and AR running the bench unit is the only way he’s getting meaningful on ball usage. With the starters he’s mostly playing defense. That isn’t true in HOU.

lot183 | Rockets

38 | 6 hours ago

I’m sure he’s eager to hand most of Shepherd’s minutes to Smart.

While there’s a decent chance you’re right (sigh), I actually think Reed and Smart in the same lineup makes a lot of sense

AgentOfSPYRAL | Lakers

12 | 6 hours ago

I could see that, I mostly just mean to say he’ll have more on ball opportunities in Houston.

lot183 | Rockets

6 | 4 hours ago

That’s what I mean though, someone who can handle the ball on offense but is more versatile on defense so they can guard wings is something we really needed and I think could unlock Reed, who right now is best on offense off ball but probably needs to guard 1’s on defense to be viable. That was kind of the vision with Amen at the point but his ball handling just hasn’t developed enough yet. I just hope Reed isn’t odd man out in rotations which knowing Ime is possible.

Correct - he’ll be playing more.

The only PG on Houston’s roster at the moment is FVV, coming back from knee surgery. That’s it.

The Lakers have Luka and AR dominating the ball. Plus whatever else Pelinka has up his sleeve.

StrangeStephen | LAL

And FVV recently said in a podcast that his knee suffered more damage than just an ACL. So he would get more playing time than go play off the bench in LA.

Sorta. Fred has deleted all his rockets related Instagram posts. So there’s that plus the cryptic messages.

We should all prepare for the inevitable Luka Doncic sweepstake WTF. Rob Pelinka is doing basketball terrorism. Another Luka prime year wasted.

Rockets are gonna be rotating FVV and Smart at point guard. Amazing signing for Houston.

[Charania] Free agent guard Marcus Smart has agreed on a two-year, $13 million deal with the Houston Rockets, plus a player option for the second season, sources tell ESPN. The former Defensive Player of the Year reunites with Ime Udoka for significant opportunity in the Rockets backcourt.
