Will see, as Thompson will be added in the rotation, he is gonna be the third man in priority on the ball, so his production might drop a bit but what's important is he will improve in defense and must be aggressive in driving the ball as Curry and Thompson are known good outside shooters.

Not the Pistons man but the Lakers eventually!
After being traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Detroit Pistons, DeAndre Jordan's formally agreed to a buyout with the Michigan franchise.  According to ESPN, Jordan intends to sign an agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers once the paperwork regarding his current contract is completed to become a free agent for all intents and purposes.

Age is just a number with the dedication and determination to win the title, Both Russ and Melo are eager to win and this is their chance pairing with LeBron and Davis, with the comeback of both Howard and Rondo they are now a complete with ages all stars.

On the clipper's side, It's better to try working together again, with their own big 3 PG, Batum and Leonard can influence
their young teammates to play well with them.

We might see them standing as good contender they are just silently moving and working to keep them inside the playoff.

He must be thinking of the future development of Wiggins, and they know better which player suits the team, and although I see that Simmons is better but I trust their decision as being te General Manager, he knows better on what's good for his team.

LMA goes to Nets and Deandre Jordan goes to Lakers. I believe both of these moves are useless moves, not like they are going to provide anything more than 10 minutes and probably not every game neither, when they play it will be around 10 minutes but their overall average will be like 6 minutes or so from all the minimum amount of games they play.

These are the type of contracts we call "locker room veteran" and both teams knew that they already have as good of a roster as they could get and wanted to fill the last spot by getting a veteran who would be great for the locker room. Think about Udonis Haslem, dude hasn't been a proper player for years now, but he has been at Miami for so long just because dude is like a player-coach type of thing that helps the team. Lakers vs Nets final is looking more and more likely if everyone stays healthy, it could be one of the most watched ones in recent years.

Wonderful news for the Lakers, they added another big man so they can assure to be better this season. With the current lineup, it's not necessary to add players anymore, the health of the big 3 is more important now and these players who have not tasted a win in the NBA Finals might finally have this one this season.

The impact of LMA with the Nets is not so big compared to the impact of Deandre Jordan to the LA Lakers if he will be healthy, better than Gasol for sure as he is a beast in defense.

Yeah, and most likely they already know that, but they agree because it's their ticket to get a championship ring before they retire.


Fans are going to be happy to see them in the finals. But we can't really predict because of one factor that you mentioned, health. This are old and ageing players and are prone to injury. But let's hope for the best that no one will get injured by both teams so that we will have a good finals this year.

Don't get too much hype on DJ mate. He's not even used much in Brooklyn Nets. Or way back before that on Dallas Mavericks.

Back in Lakers, even a healthy Dwight Howard hasn't used in Lakers, the same will goes in DJ even AD or him got injured. We are not in the era anymore where centers are necessary for a lineup.

Right now, he is just an ordinary player on the bench. It got just hyped because of his name. After leaving the Clippers, he's didn't show he is a quality center or forward anymore. That's a 100% fact.

I agree with this. DeAndre Jordan is just a name now. The average playing time will be around 10 minutes per game.

Backup for Davis or Howard if they are injured? I doubt. Lakers are playing with no center always. They can do it without a center.

Kendrick Nunn is the best additional player for the Lakers bench. A young player with good 3 points shooting percentage and not even fit as a part of the second squad. He can be a starter too.

Jordan may give some quality minutes coming from the bench, but I believe that it's mostly Howard to play as Center.

The Lakers system is no longer new to Howard he can easily play alongside with Davis and Bron playing with catch and dunk.

And with Rondo, it's more likely that they will use those effective game plays, which are easy for them to execute.
They can let those newcomers to watch and learn, play attention to the rotations and make themselves fit into the system.
