As much as I hate the Lakers, I think this is a good fit for IT. He can certainly knock down open shots playing with LBJ or Westbrook. And age shouldn’t be a factor as the Lakers are in win now mode. Playing time might not be guaranteed though. Thoughts?

His recent stint with LA was his most productive post-Boston (he was still really bad). He's a big name which LA are clearly looking for. Not sure about the defence of that group though...

In a lineup of IT-Russ-LeBron-Melo-AD, who gets the shot?

He’ll probably have to play the role of a sparkplug of the bench. His playing time will definitely be irregular, maybe even some dnps. But he’ll get some chances when LBJ and Westbrook get days off. Maybe a role like that is his best chance of landing on an NBA team this season.

It could be (if he can stay healthy), but I don't like the idea of him going to a team with a very offensive-minded playing group, let alone on the Lakers

I would have wanted to see him here but that ship has definitely sailed with the Schroder signing. I hope other teams give him a look because I too wouldn’t want to see him with the Lakers (again) as well.

I guess him and Lebron made up after the disaster half season in Cleveland.

I hope for IT that he gets a shot somewhere. Preferably not with the Lakers but I am good with it if that's his only chance.

IT played crap next to LeBron in Cleveland. Why would he play better playing off the ball to LeBron & Westbrook now?

Dumb signing.
