For me as a Lakers fan, we need some shooters in free agency.
Kuzma wanted out anyway, inconsistent shooter, who will probably put up good numbers on a bad team. KCP will be a loss and Trez’s game doesn’t translate to the playoffs.
The thing with Westbrook, is for the regular season it will be fine, LBJ can rest more as he can definitely be a third guy with AD. But in the playoffs we beat the Houston team playing Box and 1 on Eric Gordon and daring Westbrook to chuck threes. He also seems to make stupid plays in the playoffs, for whatever reason.
What I will say though, is his approach to basketball is fantastic and he required that from the rest of the team, which is great. LBJ also wants to play off the ball more and AD is respectable from 3.
But we definitely need two shooters and a center at least, Melo is probably coming for the minimum, so he can replace Kuzma’s offensive production.
Hopefully we can get a center and two more shooters after that.
