**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[pmatic]

I think Ariza is better at on ball defense, but KCP is better off ball (chasing guys around screens).

 

[MVP]

Ariza is a playoff tested vet and longer defender.
KCP is a streak shooter.
Bonus keep him away from Houston.

Oh ya HOU needs him back big time

Yep.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Y'all want no good FT shooters on the roster huh

 

[CP1708]

Bron/Ariza/Ingram/Lonzo in the playoffs would be strong defensively. (Bron coasting now, would engage in April+)

 

[DLF]

Philadelphia does need a guard that can shoot ..

Simmons for Kcp. Ok I’m in

Maybe fultz to Phoenix?

 

[DLF]

Ariza>Kcp. Eye test prevails

Kcp was in ******* jail last year. Bonehead he is. Ariza playoff tested, a champion with experience also he.

 

[atlsfinest]

I dobt really get this trade to be honest. In 2018, is Ariza better than KCP? I might be down to trade them straight up but I definitely wouldn't be down if we have to give up another player or a pick.

 

[grittyman]

KCP will be long gone after this summer. Once Ingram and Rondo are healthy and as the season progresses, where does he fit in the rotation?

If we give up a pick then shame on us.

I think bc it’s a 3 team deal, the pick comes from the other team. No way we give up Kcp AND a pick to suns for Ariza. That’s comical

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He can, but he can also be cold as ice.

Like the start of the year.

I think Ariza is the better defender.

True but Ariza is always cold. And I don't know how valuable his defense would be with this roster. Like what's the best Ariza lineup? Zo Ariza Kuz Bron McGee? Be better off with Ingram in there

 

[Lizakers]

Ariza>Kcp. Eye test prevails

Kcp was in ****ing jail last year. Bonehead he is. Ariza playoff tested, a champion with experience also he.

Eyeball test? . It’s all about extreme analytics these days man . How will Ariza shoot after one dribble from the left wing on a pass from Zo at Staples on Tuesdays in a leap year?

 

[DLF]

I’d rather do Kcp for fultz and pick lol

 

[sohi 23]

Rondo & Ingram can’t shoot.
Hart, Kuz, KCP & Hart are the only real shooters for Bron right now. I think KCP is a better shooter than KCP.

 

[MVP]

Ariza is shooting 37% FG and 35% from 3
KCP is shooting 39% FG and 34% from 3

 

[had pants]

 

[fearless]

Ariza for Lonzero Ball do it Mitch

 

[tupac003]

Ariza is shooting 37% FG and 35% from 3
KCP is shooting 39% FG and 34% from 3

Seems to me it's the same player.

Only difference is 12 mil coming off the books compared to 15 mil coming off.

I'll take Ariza.

 

[Lizakers]

I wouldn’t put too much stock in Ariza’s stats in Phoenix. Put him next to Zo and Bron and Rondo......he’ll get more open looks and probably better passes and shots in rhythm .

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

^He was trash in the playoffs with Houston

[geno90221]

Bring blood back home!

 

[DLF]

Ariza for Lonzero Ball do it Mitch

Dobedoo or zodogg for fearless

 

[vtotheinay]

I think KCP is a better shooter than KCP.

Are you referring to post jail KCP being a better shooter than pre jail KCP?
