  7. Timme and Thiero need some minutes with the Lakers! Put them in there as second or third string. If Bronny is getting minutes then these fools definitely deserve real minutes.

  8. It’s about time they realized that Koloko wasn’t any good. They just waisted time with him to be honest. He never showed he could contribute. Timmie is an interesting player though I’m not sure he has the athleticism to play in the big league but he does have a unique skill set

  10. Makes sense, Koloko got a DNP when we only had one center available.

    The writing was on the wall then.

  12. Timme, Kleber, Laravia, Reaves, Luka

    Bench: Dalton

    Do the Lakers have the best snowtime rotation?!

  14. I approve of this. Koloko wasn’t very good and Timmie has shown that he actually can play. I’m not sure Timmie will translate to a good NBA player but he’s definitely worth taking a flyer on

  19. Unpopular opinion incoming. While Timmie is better than Koloko, I actually think he is a significantly worse fit for this team. Has 0 lob potential. He is slow and unathletic. Offensively, he is quite skilled in the post and around the rim but can’t really shoot. The offense I’ve seen from him watching G League games is stuff that he will never get to do in the NBA.

  25. It’s “Timme” isn’t it? I mean how many chances did Koloko get? It wasn’t happening. Timme plays hard and he’s smart. Not a rim protector. But he can outscore most fives. I like it a lot. Especially with Ayton dinged.

  29. Prefacing this with I’ve only seen full game highlights, not any actual full games but..

    He strikes me as a guy who’s a clearly very good BASKETBALL player, but probably not a great NBA player (lack of athleticism, positional size deficit, horrendous defender, etc)

    HOPEFULLY he proves me wrong tho

  34. why are people so happy about a guy who is a terrible defender when it’s desperately needed for us in the playoffs with guys like Luka and Lebron? getting rid of someone who can rim protect vs someone who can’t seems dumb.

  38. If this dude or Koloko is playing minutes regularly we are fucked. We don’t need more scoring and his defense is atrocious.

  39. I feel like all these 7 foot bearded guys we find are all NPC’s

    Totally interchangeable and NEVER see meaningful minutes

    Hope I’m wrong finally

    Koloko thank you for your service and best of luck my dude

  41. The spelling of his name is literally in the image you posted and still managed to spell it wrong, nice.

  45. Lakers team has so many classy players it’s getting ridiculous. Real fundamental players the kind you’d let date your daughter.

    Get in, get out, honest, salt of the earth athletes man. Slip and slide, get dirty, get mucky, get steamy, slip in, slip out, come together kinda team.
