Update: hearing this may be a two-way deal for Koloko. Would mean one of Colin Castleton, Blake Hinson, or Armel Traore would lose their spot if that’s how Lakers sign him
Agree. Good big man, and will surely have a better game play. I will definitely sign him to a 10 day. And if I were him, I will go Lakers than any other team as Lakers badly need a big.
@admiralbug-mug6190 7 ft 230 lbs can hardly wait to see him go up against The Joker or Embiid if they're pushing AD around , do you think they're going to do with someone like him? ?? 😂😂😂

Finally, something worth seeing. He would fit right in with the lakers. I could see him be a lob threat and very active on the boards. Will see if he stays on the lakers roster. If he does he will definitely give the lakers some size that they desperately needed.

It's hard to take any reports from Shams and Won seriously. Everybody loves to use the Lakers name for contract negotiations and nothing ever happens 👀
Christian Koloko was actually supposed to be the original pick back in the 2022 draft instead of Max Christie. Then Toronto picked him in the draft before LA, which led to Max Christie being drafted here. Rob & Jesse were very high on him that draft. Hopefully we’re able to obtain him.
Reports came out at the time that Andrew Nembhard was the player the Lakers were originally interested in before Christian Koloko, but once Nembhard and Koloko were off the board the Lakers quickly pivoted to Max Christie
@@leonardwilliams8565 The kid sounds like a decent project to use a two-way contract on. If anyone expects him to be the mythical "big", then they're likely fooling themselves. He's obviously got height and athleticism, but he's raw and is coming off the couch. He looks like a less-good version of Jaxson Hayes at the moment.
@@leonardwilliams8565 the long answer is, fans are desperate for a center signing because they have been led to believe that the biggest problem we have is not having a traditional big on the bench. And since those are a dying breed there aren't any 4M McGees and min vet Howards on the market. So LA fans will get excited over every 7 footer joining the team. The following guys are fully rostered Los Angeles Lakers players: Maxwell Lewis, Jaxson Hayes, Cam Reddish, Dalton Knecht, Jalen Hood Schifino, Max Christie I am not rattling of 2-way players and the South Bay Lakers G-league team here. Well I am, but these are all fully rostered guys. And then there are hurt Wood and Vando. And we still have no clue if Gabe was a one time thing for Miami or if the guy can actually really consistently play at that level, because he Nunnd us. So that's like 9 question marks. Of course we get excited when a 10th is finally added. 😂 So that's the long answer The short answer is yes, of course. That is exactly what we've come to not retaining our own players for tax purposes, calling every solid NBA player inconsistent and begging that the Lakers get rid of them and then constantly asking for rookies and G-league guys to step into starting roles and getting a chance for no reason at all. Last year I was told: We won the off-season. We have the deepest bench in the NBA. We are the favorites. We have all the wings. The defense is going to be fine. We never had so many good shooters. If LeBron and AD stay healthy nobody is beating this team. Gabe is much better than Dennis. Max is going to have a breakout year. Austin Reaves will be an all-star. The team was just as bad last year, but now people have finally understood that we have a mid level team on a good day. Unfortunately they still don't see all the gaping holes where other teams have starters and solid bench guys at SG and SF and have been misled into believing that acquiring like Andre Drummond would complete the roster and instantly make us a contender. That's because these journalists generally have no idea what they are talking about. 😂 So the blind were leading the deaf and the Lakers finally build a real favorite by getting rid of: Rondo (unplayable) KCP (horribly inconsistent) Caruso (easily replaceable and completely overrated) DG (old and done) Kuzma (can't shoot, pass or dribble, bad rebounder, has no dog in him) Morris (old and slow) McGee (switch huntable, can't shoot, useless) Howard (probably too old to play anyway, just clogs the middle and demands touches) Stanley Johnson (easily replaceable and can't shoot) Westbrook (not worth a min vet, done, like playing 4v5, should waive and stretch 😂😂😂) Zubac (worth a rental shooter for the rest of the year maybe if that) And I could go on and on and on like Bryant, Stanley Johnson, Pippen Jr., Cacok, Jay Huff, McClung, Daniels, Cook, Beasley, Matthews, etc. I can create two better teams than the Lakers out of just the guys we blamed and discarded over the last 3 seasons. 😂 Yes we are that bad. And now they are working on D'Lo. And it'll be Rui and Vando next, before Reaves will have finally rounded out well and he will finally be traded just as his contract expires and he has developed the explosiveness to handle starters on defense. Nobody on the Lakers brain trust and especially in the media knows how how lineups work in basketball or what a wing even is. And the fan base isn't any better. It's millions and millions of clueless noobs repeating after one another for brownie points on social media.
Literally another Jaxson Hayes - that was the same commentary when we signed Hayes last year. we need a big someone with a strong foundation that doesn’t get moved around
@@Only1Nono Overall, he IS more like Jaxson Hayes, since (like Jaxson) he is quick for a big, and runs the floor pretty well. But Laker Nation never hyped Hayes up to be the next "great hope" that was going to take us to the Promised Land, despite being a toothpick. I am heering the same HYPE with this guy that I had to hear about Huff. SMH
Trevor, I really appreciate that unlike many other channels, you do not use clickbait in your titles. This one, though, felt misleading-"Lakers Surprise Signing"-please don't. He was not signed.
I like this move because of his youth and upside on both ends of the floor. Hopefully he's able to stay healthy and blossom whether he signs with the Lakers or not. Hate to see a young man get his dream crushed because of a health condition
Love Koloko, he’s worked w Lonzo a lot this offseason, would love to see dlo and Gabe somehow turn into Lonzo and Larry nance jr. Get the chemistry back A1
The question now is How? Are they gonna waive Max Lewis maybe? I doubt they'll do that to Cam Reddish considering Vando is out again. Is Max Christie finally gonna take that leap? The last thing Lakers need is to thin out that wing position in exchange for a 230lbs Big who is just an around the rim threat. His defense can be his saving grace but that's about it. If he's willing to be that bruiser, he needs to muscle up and got more weight. Then It might actually be worth it. He is going to go against a lot of bruiser Cs afterall.
You and everyone who agreed with you need to listen and learn front office... *HAVE TO MAKE TRADE TO CLEAR ROSTER SPOT!* don't need dead money on the books
@@wills.9422Funny how we have third string wing defenders and all the other teams have star player 2-way wings and rotation wings behind them. I wonder why we weren't fine and actually had the third worst perimeter defense in the NBA. Oh well nobody could haven possibly seen that coming. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We are excited to unveil our next statue featuring the new era of Lakers basketball: JHS / Christie / Lewis / Castleton / Koloko Oh wait never.mind, they are still moving. It just looked like they were ... oh well. Let's get this mid season tournament banner. We are still leading the Celtics in that category! Woohoo.
It would be great to of have a shit blocker beside AD, BUT until the contract has "his" signature on it, this is just speculation, just like all the other "named" players during the summer! Hopefully Rob gets it done BUT I'm not very confident that it will happen, based on this past summer.
I'm confused. During the off season the Lakers roster was full. They were up against the second apron. They couldn't sign anyone. Now they are signing all of these guys. How is that possible?
@@Davivd2 exhibit 10 deals don’t count against the cap. They are full on full roster spots, training camp is different though. Could bring him in and make a move to open up a spot before the season
Raptors just have to drop ne player that's not guaranteed, plus Koloko has been on Raptors bench during summer league, and been working out at Raptors facilities. If he doesn't sign with Raptors again it would be a shock to to fans. We also have Chomche from Cameroon so Why would he leave his country man. Also on twitch Scott got excited to her Koloko was cleared.
You had me believing as soon as I heard "Klutch Sports" lol. Done deal, LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The best part of this sigining will be the GIANT SMILE ON AD's FACE!!! haha. TWIN TOWERS COME @ ME BROOOOOOOOOOO!!
I see the Lakers doing nothing or screwing this up. Especially after missing out on several offseason targets. The Lakers' front office has made some questionable moves in the past, and there's always concern about whether they'll make the right decision when it counts.
Can Rob sign him, or will he need approval from the Wild Rambi before he acts? Koloko is the real deal; he meshed seamlessly with Bennedict Mathurin when both played at Arizona.
I'd rather use a second rounder plus whatever to go get Deyron Sharp (probably spelled that wrong) from Brooklyn, but sure. I'm not mad at it if he actually plays for us..
Haven't heard that name since he was drafted out of UofA. He was condidered raw and a project when he was drafted and hasn't played much since. He's still a project and needs to sign somewhere where he can get more minutes and the 'win now' Lakers need a proven commodity. Makes no sense for either side.
Christian koloko moves well quick and I say he can be difference marker if the Lakers give him a chance and move both Jason Hayes and Christian wood then Colin Castleton and koloko to be replacement for Hayes and wood
As a Laker fan this is sad, we really scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find something(anything) to be excited about! Last year it was DinWiddie! Rob needs to do his job😢
Cool. I'm all for signing Koloko, because the Lakers need another big. But, I'm extremely curious as to why there's this excitement around Koloko, but none of that same energy towards Hayes. They look to be the same archetype big man...both long, lean, athletic...and, are both the same age. But, instead of speaking about Hayes potential upside, all I hear is how he's subpar. Just strange, is all...🤷🏿♂ I personally like Hayes. And, am all on board to adding Koloko, if reports are true.
Rob, get it done man. We need to get AD some help. I swear, if the Flippers get him... Do they even need a center or are they tryna block the Lakers to keep em down?
I don't get the "Rob don't mess this up" sentiment for a player who averaged 3pts and 3 rebounds in a season. Competing with Castleton, Hinson or Traore for a 2-way spot. Lakers fans. Your name is Toby. It's a good name.
Update: hearing this may be a two-way deal for Koloko. Would mean one of Colin Castleton, Blake Hinson, or Armel Traore would lose their spot if that’s how Lakers sign him
Colin hasn’t been that man anyway why not go a alternate route
Who’s Koloko?😢 is he any good/decent? Can he play in the NBA or is he another G League guy?

@TaviusMinter Haha Castleton is worse then both Wood and Hayes
@@Flush0000problem with castleton is that his awareness isnt up to par for that big spot
He must be a Woods or Jaxson replacement because he is not the bruising center they keep saying we need.
As a Laker fan this is sad, we really scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find something(anything) to be excited about! Last year it was DinWiddie! Rob needs to do his job😢
Bro almost sounded Jamaican saying bloodclot😂
At last some better news! Develop Koloko quickly please
ASAP. Signed he let's go kolokoy, aw Este kolokoy.👍💯🏆
We need another big next to AD. He’s a legit 7 footer. Sign him that’s it. Either you start him or he comes off the bench.
What makes this dude, better than Castleton? Why wont they give him the spot?
Play side by side with AD🔥💥
Cool. I'm all for signing Koloko, because the Lakers need another big. But, I'm extremely curious as to why there's this excitement around Koloko, but none of that same energy towards Hayes. They look to be the same archetype big man...both long, lean, athletic...and, are both the same age. But, instead of speaking about Hayes potential upside, all I hear is how he's subpar. Just strange, is all...🤷🏿♂
I personally like Hayes. And, am all on board to adding Koloko, if reports are true.
Everyone wants like 4 centers so we’d be force to play them 😂
He is already on toronto payroll. What do we make of this?
The Lakers don’t need a player with potential. They need a proven center!!
Sign Koloko ASAP
He's with klutch he's gonna sign with the Lakers
He could be great fit along side AD
His ceiling would be higher when he join the Lakers for sure!
Former pac 12 defensive player of the year. Get rid of a two way guy and go and still get javale McGee
Empty Calories. . . . Lakers so far have been the Frontrunner to Sign the Entire NBA Free Agents. 😢
Rob, get it done man. We need to get AD some help. I swear, if the Flippers get him... Do they even need a center or are they tryna block the Lakers to keep em down?
I don't get the "Rob don't mess this up" sentiment for a player who averaged 3pts and 3 rebounds in a season. Competing with Castleton, Hinson or Traore for a 2-way spot.
Lakers fans. Your name is Toby. It's a good name.
Castleton could average that. Those are Waymon Gabriel stats.
This is basically Jaxson Hayes lol
His defensive prowess dwarfs what Hayes brings. It's not even close.
Everyone the Lakers want, the Clippers suddenly want to. Never fails.
If he can get to be Andrew Bynum # 2 we will be rolling
Honestly doesn't sound much different than Jaxson Hayes. An inch taller, 10 lbs heavier, but otherwise about the same.
Rob Pelinka always Mess it up, Pelinka need to go from LA
Koloko Stats: 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds
laker will win championship now. just give them trophy already
GOLakers💪💜💛
D Wight - proven over this move all day. #drivingmusic #v3tt3d
