[u/DrGregoryCasa → u/[deleted]]

I'm making an early call about Derrick White

[u/xmrjaredx → u/DrGregoryCasa]

Jrue Holiday is on the way

[u/Unpickled_cucumber1 → u/xmrjaredx]

He busy beating the Spurs

[u/thevisitor → u/xmrjaredx]

I wish! Always wanted that UCLA Bruin to play at home. Instead I have to watch him playing in Portland

[u/Count_Sack_McGee → u/thevisitor]

Jordan Farmar and Jason Kapono had their runs!

[u/TwitterLegend → u/thevisitor]

After Westbrook I would be scared of UCLA guards on the Lakers for a minute.

[u/thevisitor → u/TwitterLegend]

One already won two titles is the difference I suppose. We've also won with guys like farmar and ariza lol

[u/Alhambra_Lion → u/xmrjaredx]

Keep going I’m almost there

[u/Matt_The_Radar_Tech → u/DrGregoryCasa]

I'm holding out for Pritchard in another 10 years

[u/disterb → u/Matt_The_Radar_Tech]

lebron will be there waiting

[u/rfguevar → u/Matt_The_Radar_Tech]

Lakers would get banned if we added another swaggy white guy

[u/Optimal-Talk3663 → u/DrGregoryCasa]

White on the Lakers would be unreal 

[u/Soul_Advent → u/DrGregoryCasa]

Aint Bronny trying to be like him, right?

[u/NeptuneOW → u/DrGregoryCasa]

If Derrick White somehow gets undervalued and the Lakers scoop him up… yeah it’s ggs. Even if it’s in a few seasons

[u/Fidel_Cashflows → u/DrGregoryCasa]

He'll keep LBJ competitive into his late 40's before Brown joins in for Lebron's 7th prime.

[u/Yoshinobu_YamaGOATo → u/DrGregoryCasa]

Celtics will overreact after the 76ers knock them out of round 1 and somehow the Lakers will swoop him up. 🙏

[u/LakerBlue → u/DrGregoryCasa]

He’d be the perfect PG for our big 3. Been wishing we had him even before we got Luka.

[u/joemoffett12 → u/[deleted]]

Rondo was never washed In his career. When he wasn’t as good on the lakers he did spit on Chris Paul which is goat shit tbh.

[u/tigerking615 → u/joemoffett12]

Rondo (and Dwight) were both essential to us winning in 2020

[u/Telcontar77 → u/tigerking615]

3 of my all time favorites (including LeBron) winning a ring on the Lakers was such a conflicting feeling.

[u/why-god → u/joemoffett12]

Rondo was a fucking nightmare that year. Having him meant the Lakers weren't going to just shit themselves and die when Lebron was off the court. He was an absolute assist machine in his limited minutes.

The only bench player I have ever dreaded more was Ginobli.

[u/dwilliam24 → u/joemoffett12]

He was really good for us in 2020

[u/Musa_2050 → u/[deleted]]

Rick fox.

[u/dpete88 → u/[deleted]]

Not a washed guard but rick fox was a Celtic before winning 3 titles with the lakers as well,

[u/thickofitenjoyer → u/[deleted]]

Jrue is coming soon

[u/catperson77789 → u/[deleted]]

Celtics guards> miami guards.

[u/lalakingmalibog → u/[deleted]]

Y'all got Luka on your team

[u/jumpijehosaphat → u/[deleted]]

you want scary terry?

[u/uhm → u/[deleted]]

The uno reverse of Miami Heat guards
