Anything regarding the purple and gold.

We have it here at Lakers report.

So please do me a favor.

Hit that subscribe button, but left in an answer.

Some of your questions.

All right.

The first question that we have here is from at Faraway 00000 that looks like the Clippers are continuing to stock up their roster With all the rumors of players we've worked out.

Didn't you find anyone off?

Buyout or available?

Players haven't played this year.

So yes, the Clippers did add Marcus Morris.

And then recently they did pick up Reggie Jackson after he was waived.

It was a little bit of a surprise, but at the end of the day, But I think the media gets us really riled up.

Makes us think that we have to add new players when in reality, you know, we have the best Western Conference record by a large margin.

And yes, you know the Clippers didn't make some adjustments to the roster.

But in terms of writing Jackson, you know, I don't really think the Lakers were interested in him.

You know, we have the same agent that has D'Angelo, Russell, Julius, Randle, Paul George.

We all know that agent is not a big fan.

of the Lakers.

And regardless, I don't think the Lakers were that interested in adding Reggie Jackson.

I don't think he's gonna play too many minutes for the Clippers in general because you know, the Clippers have the Williams Landry's Shamus.

They also Pat Bagley and socially come playoff time when you know the rotations get smaller and there really are only like eight or nine players that are truly playing having minutes.

I don't think the Lakers needed a guy like Reggie Jackson.

And in terms of market s'mores, you know, I'm not really that said about missing out on him as well.

You know, Obviously, the asking price for him was crazy.

They pretty much wanting Ocal Kuzma, Danny Green, so many of our players that I just was not willing to give up.

So at the end of the day, you know, I think the Lakers have a great team right now.

I know a lot of people want them to make some adjustments myself included, but still the end of the day, you know, we have to be happy with the team in the roster that we have, you know, goes without saying that we have the best restaurant conference record, and we've done that with this roster, So I'm totally fine with that.

Just kind of continuing riding out with this team and just seeing where it goes, which I believe could definitely be all the way to winning a championship are in the expulsion needs somewhere to the 1st 1/8 from at Drew D 58669065 He wants the nose of hay.

And are the Lakers going to find anybody like Dion waiters or dare Smith or State still and hope the Lakers several with their roster?

So I don't have been some reports that potentially Dion waiters could be coming to the Lakers game.

The Lakers were interested in him.

I personally don't really believe those reports to be that true union waiters of the guy who this past season, when he was with Miami, he was suspended three times.

And that kind of just raises a lot of red flags for me because Miami is having a pretty good season.

So I was kind of suspended three times for pretty much of behavioral issues.

I don't really know if he's the guy that I would really like to bring on this team, especially since we have such great chemistry and everything seems to be going so well.

I don't know if I want to kind of bring in.

The guy has a little bit of behave really issues.

And besides that, the young lawyer's is not a very good shooter, you know, honest career average about 13 points per game, a little over two of you back, a little over two assists.

But he's only shooting 34% from three on Lee, about 41 maybe 42% from the floor in general.

So he's not that great of a shooter.

If the Lakers are looking to add other players, I would much rather be guys who could be better shooters and kind of be better playmakers Now, in terms of J.

R.

Smith, I don't think he's another really realistic guys.

Well, you know he hasn't played all this season.

He's older.

Who knows if he has really anything left in the tank, So I don't really think us the liquors are going to be making any more addition to this roster.

I think this is just going to be the roster that we're going to continue to have.

And like I said earlier, you know, I'm totally fine with that.

We have a great team.

I'm very happy with our record or 41 in 12 currently, as I'm filming this and I am very, very happy and satisfied with that, these questions are pretty similar.

So it is from at Mario Teague.

Who do you think the Lakers will pick up after the roster and then did the Lakers?

You don't make any roster changes at this point, so like I said, I don't really think the Lakers are going to be making any roster changes right now.

I think there may be hoping that Darren Collison would have Abel been able to come out of retirement.

But we all know by now that just isn't the case and you decided to be retired.

Personally, I just don't think that we really need to make any choices.

There are some names that have been thrown out there like I mentioned before.

You have your own waiters and J.

R.

Smith and come others, but the end of the day, you know they're not really the great players and I don't really know if I want to bring them on this team.

B f The chemistry.

We have the best blustering conference record, even amazing record in general at 41 12.

Look, I said, I don't really think the Lakers need to make any roster moves.

I know the media has kind of.

I got it in her head that the Lakers maybe skipped out because we didn't pick anyone up.

But I think we're totally fine.

I'm really not freaking out, but I think, unfortunately, it is unfortunate that Darren Collison decided to stay in retirement before.

Do you think he would have been that perfect pick up for us?

And I think that's what the Lakers were ultimately hoping for, but it just didn't work out.

So I'm fine with it.

But I want to hear from you guys.

Do you guys think the Lakers should make some roster changes?

You think they need to pick anyone up?

If you do it, type Y down below is not type and down below at e d.

Underscore.

L A 96 wants to know.

What do you think the Lakers can improve on?

So the main thing that the Lakers can improve on his play making off the bench and, of course, just scoring, obviously wing defence as well.

You know we can always improve defensively, but I think the biggest and the Lakers you to improve on it.

Just being ableto have a more consistent shooter, especially coming off the bench, a guy who could really bring a lot of energy and a lot of offense off the bench.

I know we're all hoping it would be Kyle Kuzma.

I yet have not been him consistently, but I think I'm shooting inconsistent, just scoring off the bench and playmaking and wing defence or the thing with the Lakers.

I need to continue to focus on improving on as we continue on with this season and get closer and enter the playoffs and hopefully the N v a championships.

Next question we have is from at Rock and roll.

Louis de think Caruso will get more playing time and improve the second unit didn't cow clues will perform consistently and improve the second unit.

So right now, I mean in terms of Caruso coming off and getting some more minutes, I think right now we've seen so far with this coaching stuff.

What they like to do is they like to play certain guys ever having a better night is the guy who's gonna get morbid it.

So I don't necessarily know if Caruso's gonna be getting more minutes consistently in order for him to do that, you're just gonna have to be able to enter the game and play well.

And then he'll be able to get more minutes now in terms of Kyle Kuzma, I don't know.

Obviously this has been have been very frustrating.

The fact that he's really not yet been able to be consistent be that guy, that we were really hoping he would be that third scoring option.

That third star, obviously he struggled a lot of the season in terms of health, figure out his role.

A D and LeBron is not getting as many touches, but still very frustrating.

So I feel you on that.

But I don't know.

I can't really make any you affirmative answers if he is going to be able to be consistent because I want to believe he is.

But so far we have not seen that happen.

Are these next few questions I'm are asking about DeMarcus cousins.

So the 1st 1 is from at Luciano.

Underscore of Kappa Joe on the other.

One is from at two K Dog Rashard.

They built Wannado.

Do I think DeMarcus Cousins is going to play, make a return for the playoffs and if he's going to make it impact?

So right now, I know that there are a lot of reports saying that DeMarcus Cousins is nearing overturn.

I don't think he is going to be returning before the playoffs, and even I know this is not a popular thing to say.

But I don't think he's going to be able to have that much of an impact with this team.

I think of the beginning of the season.

I was hoping he would have being more realistic about it.

You know he's going to have missed the entire season.

You know he's going to be out of shape.

It's gonna take him a little while to kind of get back in the game shape.

And once you're entering the playoffs, I don't know if that's really even in Crete.

Wait for him to kind of re join this team and the kind of knock some of the rust off because we're going to be in serious, serious championship run right now.

And I don't think that Marcus Cover was going to be fully ready to be able to participate in that.

And the five.

You know, we've been doing so well with JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard, who I'm really expecting is gonna have a big role for us in the playoffs.

He's been increasingly just playing better and better and really dominating.

So, yes, I think DeMarcus Cousins could make the return of by the playoffs.

But I don't think he's gonna be able to have as big of an impact as a lot of people were kind of hoping and thinking he would be just coming from a more realistic standpoint.

Now, before the lawn enhancer some more of your questions, I won't let you in on a very exciting promotion that one of our sponsors that his eyes offering us like your fans.

So if you wanna win some money but Los Angeles Lakers and win some money every single time, they win games and all you do is go to chatsworth dot com slash and enter the promo code.

Lakers won 20 and you will get 120% deposit voters to go and play and bet on our purple and gold in.

Better yet, win some money every single time they win, which obviously, as we all know, this season has been quite a lot, so it doesn't make sure to check it out again.

I interviews go to chat boards dot com slash, but under the Chemical Lakers won 20 to get 120% deposit bonus to go and play.

But let's move on.

Let's answer some more of your questions.

Akins.

All is underscoring 91 to eat.

Wants to know if you want a choice to cut anyone from the Lakersroster, Who would it be and why?

So then, my first initial choice would be to cut talent Horton Tucker.

But again, you know, maybe not, because the Lakers have obviously seen him play this season.

They kind of watching him.

He's a young player.

The Lakers don't have too many young players, so if they feel that maybe Telenor and talker have some potential, that may be a keep him around.

Maybe you caught a guy like I know this isn't gonna be very popular.

But DeMarcus cousins, purely because, you know, having him on our roster is taking up a spot that could potentially go to someone else if you wanted to fill that spot.

And again, I don't think he's gonna be able to have as much of an impact with his team's.

A lot of people were hoping he would be, even if he is able to return, because again, he's missed the entire year.

But personally, I don't really want anyone.

I know some of you guys maybe thinking OK, maybe we can cut Daniel when cook a plea after you, but personally, I like this team.

I don't really want to have to call anyone, but if we had to, I think those would be the guys that maybe I would look to first.

I don't think we're going to be cutting Jared Dudley just because we are a little bit thin at that small for position and we may need him in case we have any injuries.

But I am curious.

Who would you guys caught if you had to cut someone on this roster right now to make room for another player who would it be and why Let me know what down in the comments below, Because I would love to hear what you have to say it again.

I personally don't really want to cut anyone, but I think about how do I go with talent for Tucker.

But if the Lakers feel like that, he has some potential that maybe DeMarcus cousins write.

The questions were kind of just asking about arresting LeBron and eighties.

The 1st 1 is, um, at B B.

Jonathan, he wants to know, should the Lakers breast live on E.
