They need a 5 who can protect the rim well, set good screens, and catch lobs from Luka and LBJ, and Timelord is exactly that. In addition, they use their MLE to sign NAW who is their KCP/Caruso replacement in terms of a strong POA defender who hits timely 3s and has a high motor and effort. With this, LA has a solid balance of star power and shot creation(Luka and LBJ), an interior presence who's their rim protected on defense and can set good screens and catch lobs from in Timelord, and high motor 3&D players who can do the dirty work in DFS and NAW, and to top it off, they have a great 6th man who can lead 2nd units and provide an offensive spark off the bench in AR. They can also look to add depth by trading Rui or Vando
In all the Lakers with a lineup of:
C. Timelord F. DFS F. LBJ G. NAW G. Luka
AR15 Rui Vando Vincent Hayes
