When LA gets healthy (hopefully) and gets some games under their belt I think players 4 thru 9, specifically Monk, Ellington, THT, Reaves will settle into their roles and gain more confidence. Monk/Ellington putting up 31 pts (11-18 fg, 7-12 from 3) in a hostile environment was very encouraging. Most people expected the Lakers to lose this game. No AD, Back to Back, Indy with 1 day of rest,...Yet, LA won the game despite Melo/Russ shooting 9 for 28 fg......And let's not forget about Nunn. He's a legit 15 ppg scorer who shoots a good percentage across the board (46/36/88 for his career and 48/38/93 last season)

Of course, the Lakers are not a finished product. They still need to make a couple of acquisitions to improve the defense, shooting, and team balance.....The great thing about the Lakers is that they don't need another star, just 1 or 2 quality role players...but more importantly, they need Bron/AD/Russ to stay healthy.

I would not be shocked if at some point LA cuts DJ and re-signs Mark Gasol.

I swear, as slow footed as Marc was he was the stretch big that we needed. If we just had to get DJ then I wish there was a way we could’ve kept Marc somehow. Would’ve made us versatile at the big spot like our title year.

Also think we should’ve kept Kieff but I understand they’ll just slide Melo or Bron there but still would’ve been good imo.
