Summary
The Lakers have done a good job of replenishing their roster with capable role players who make between $8 million and $20 million, but those players also come with incomplete games that need to be accounted for. Pete and Darius discuss this group of role players, put them into tiers of effectiveness, and debate whether some of their shortcomings are player limitations or whether they can be schemed for by JJ Redick and his coaching staff.

| 0:35.6 | And there weren't very many of those during the Russell Westbrook era. |
| 0:40.2 | That's part of the price you pay for having a three-star type of build. |
| 0:43.6 | But I think the Lakers have rebounded quite nicely with a group of good but imperfect players, Dias, you'll often find in that price range between Austin, Dilo, Rui, Vando, and Gabe Vincent. |

| 1:07.0 | If the Lakers are to make a big time trade, those guys, one, maybe multiple of them, |
