It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome everybody to the

to the Lockdown Lakers podcast I'm Anthony. I am going to talk today about Dionne

Waders. I haven't really covered too much of Markieve Morris. I thought that was

pretty much a no-brainer move. I thought it made a lot of sense. I think he makes a lot of sense on this

team. You know, the rotation might be kind of tricky, as Pete and I talked about in last

nights or yesterday's show.

But I want to spend today, you know, we had that discussion heading into the trade deadline

about whether or not the Lakers should trade Kyle Kuzma and I want to have a similar conversation here about

Dionne waiters. I think there are up there's upside in signing waiters and I think there is some downside here. So what we're going to do is we're going to talk about the upside in segment one, the downside in segment two, and then in the final segment we'll try to combine those things

and come to some kind of a conclusion here as we get ready to see you know he

doesn't he's not going to meet with the with the Lakers for another

few days here but you know it we have an off day and and why not have this discussion

and the thing about these discussions too is that they are fluid.

So whatever conclusion we come to here on February 27th by the time you guys are listening to this,

even by February 28th. I think it's a leap

here this year, so even by February 29th we might come to a different conclusion

given new information. So let's start like I said though with the

upside to signing Dionne Waitors. He is talented. I don't want to say still because we haven't seen him play in such a long time

but I know over the course of his career he has been one of the more talented, especially offensive players on most of the

teams that he's played on. I don't want to say that he's one of the most talented

offensive players in the league, but at his best he is a

Obviously a a scoring you know combo guard who is not you know sometimes this this can be this is going to seem as pejorative but I don't mean it this way but he's what I would call a stupid score
