All out of black magic just white magic now.

He woulda played 60+ if it wasn’t for santi Aldama flopping on his dam ankle

Nah he retired due to HIV

Lakers fans are used to guys being in street clothes.

He played at least 65 games for his first 5 seasons before the last 2. Its not like he’s missed a ton of games throughout his career.

Haven’t followed him since he left Philly. He’s getting hurt that much?

Has his 3 ball improved at least?

Fuck that guy lol

EDIT:

Stupid as fuck and an anti-vaxxer

Feels like it’s make sense for the Blazers to try to keep him given the current roster, but not sure abt their cap situation vs Lakers.

30 games last season in 16 mpg. 15 games the season before

Availability is the best ability

He’s decent, he just never plays

Can’t shoot, can’t dribble, injury prone

He doesn’t play that much and his offense is a huge zero. He’s good for one 3pm and another bucket. His 3p% is still elite but it’s on low as fuck volume. He only takes three of them per game.

The defense is obviously there but he’s such a gadget player it doesn’t make sense to commit real money to him.

Might actually just be Pelinka crowdtesting free agency plans.

There was also a guy who predicted Kessler for 2 1sts and sexton on the Lakers like 2 years ago

A lot of people in the Lakers sub was actually saying that, just pivot to Ziaire Williams or Thybulle and it looks like it’s turning into reality.

Both Ziaire and Thybulle has been in convo for vet mins the whole offseason in r/lakers lol

Tbf Laker podcasts I actually like have been discussing it for at least a week. It being “do we want to pay for X money for Kuminga instead of taking a shot on Ziaire and/or Thybulle?”

They are banking on Grimes and Williams too. Grimes could be good if he rediscover his NYK form.

A contract offer. He’s a free agent. And he’s a free agent because he’s basically missed 60% of games for the last 4 seasons.

He’s a free agent, so no assets needed.

Nothing, cause he’s a negative asset

What about his career stats tell you he’s a good shooter? 39% on a measly 3 attempts and 16 GP last season? terrible free shooter for a guard too. What value? He gets left open in the corner every time he’s on the court and badly whiffs them too half the time

I don’t think end of bench third stringers will play vs wemby lol

He struggles stopping a lineup with Josh hart Jose Alvarado Deuce McBride Landry shamet and Mitch 🤷‍♂️

Wemby can’t block shots if nobody is shooting. 4D chess.

Why not both. Kuminga, Thybulle, Laravia, Carr, Zaire would be good wing depth around Luka and AR.

I think they’d like to get Thybulle too so that he can play in the backup role. They definitely don’t plan to start Thybulle either way.

Thybulle doesn’t play, so it’s perfect

I think Dalton and Hardy will get traded so we can get Kuminga and now also Thybulle

I don’t think there’s a single thing we have that Thunder would want in return for Dort

Seems like he wanted to go back home in Texas.

They weren’t anywhere close to having the most cap space possible.

And run it back with Ayton? lol

What center was available 😂 Kessler is 7’2 defensive anchor who fits perfect next to Luka please tell me where else they could have looked 

Like who?

Ehh

Kessler in one provides elite rim protection, functions as a major pick and roll lob threat, is an excellent screener, and one of the best offensive rebounders in the league. Further, he actually has respectable vision and passing ability so he has the rare ability for a giant man to not be a blackhole once he gets the ball. All of these things help the team and most importantly a backcourt of Luka and Reaves immensely.

The marketing potential for Tres Leches 3.0 was too tasty for Pelinka to pass up.

To some degree I agree with this, but then the lakers would just continue to have the revolving door of subpar big men every season which has been annoying for years now. I just wished that they didnt give up all those picks AND overpay kessler. Just choose one 🤦‍♂️
