Yeah they really didn't need Trez at all
This is the most perplexing part of the offseason for me. Trez is talented and AD is the defensive stopper inside so maybe they'll find a way to make it work well...but it didn't seem like the need for Trez was there.

I wish they would have resigned Cousins instead of Cook, but they know DMC's status better than anyone else so I just have to assume that he still doesn't look ready.

My favorite part of the offseason for the Lakers is getting KCP and Morris resigned. That was absolutely crucial. We'll see on the rest of it - in a best-case scenario they're stacked, but in a worst-case scenario you can imagine Gasol being washed leaving a big hole at center, Schroeder not working out well, Matthews not hitting his shots or getting burned on defense...

Now that the team has Schroeder, Matthews, and Trez in addition to Bron/AD/KCP/Morris/Caruso, what the hell is Kuzma's role? I don't see what he adds to the team. Makes me wonder if they're just gonna give Kuz and Trez a bunch of burn early while Bron and AD take time off, then considering a midseason Kuz/Trez/Cook package for an elite 3-and-D (perhaps with picks and/or THT if necessary), and maybe hoping to pick up another center off waivers.

They cant trade trezz... its the kind if deal that u do...u have to honor...honestly.. they a championship squad...picking another center is all they need.
