The lakers have found their identity as world-beaters on defense but they have they can't defend the rim in their non-AD minutes and they don't shoot threes. I think we can solve both of these problems on the margins of our al-ready established core.

For starters, this trade would open up a starting spot for Rui, and more pt for Christian Wood--a career 38% three-point shooter.

Our rotation would look something like this:

• DLO/Austin

• Vando/Max (Until Gabe comes back)

• Bron/Cam

• Rui/Wood

• AD/Nick

• Lim PT: Max, JaMychal
