make a move here over the next few days. But at the same time, that was the Intel I was getting before the Luca trade. So it feels like anything is possible here over the next three days. It might've been a small move if you're the Lakers, man.
Yeah, no. So I think that's like the thing I'm interested in just because I think how we view this team on the court, it's like, I don't think they can win a championship with Jackson Hayes as their starting center. If you go get... a Yakup Pirtle, a Robert Williams.

Those aren't like the sexiest names and the biggest needle movers, but those types of guys at least are a significant upgrade over Hayes. And I think it makes you a more serious team when looking at the rest of the group. It's like Luca, LeBron, Austin Reeves, Doreen Finney-Smith, Rui Hachimura, though he potentially has to be moved in a trade like this for a center.

Jared Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent, like there are some pieces there that you could kind of talk yourself into the Lakers top seven or eight if they can add a center. So I think that's the big thing. But then obviously getting into the Luca LeBron fit and how both of these guys have always been the Batman in this situation.

where they kind of share the spotlight with a star, with LeBron in Miami, in Cleveland, in LA. He's always been the primary guy. It's always been the stars adjusting to him. With Luka in Dallas, with Kyrie, it was Kyrie adjusting to him. So I'm fascinated to just see how those two make

the basketball fit work I think they're both smart enough and skilled enough and just talented enough to figure it out but it is going to be an adjustment to both of them where I think it's the first time in their careers they can look at the guy opposite them and say like this guy can kind of do everything I can do and you can make the argument that like they should have the ball more so that's really like a first I think for both of these guys and I'm fascinated to see how that ends up kind of playing out on the floor

Because, again, as we've talked about before on here and as I've reported, like the initial thinking going into the deadline for the Lakers was they were going to be adding a center, maybe another wing, maybe a backup scoring guard, something like that to kind of fill out the rotation like that. They had just won in New York without AD. They had won 8-10.
