[Donovan Mitchell](/nba/players/2842760/donovan-mitchell/), [Rudy Gobert](/nba/players/2067669/rudy-gobert/) and [Dejounte Murray](/nba/players/2203544/dejounte-murray/) cost in the summer. [Kyle Kuzma](/nba/players/2842826/kyle-kuzma/), [Kentavious Caldwell-Pope](/nba/players/2067660/kentavious-caldwell-pope/) and Montrezl Harrell for Westbrook, they also traded the No. [Montrezl Harrell](/nba/players/2019010/montrezl-harrell/) signings and the chemistry-ruining [Andre Drummond](/nba/players/1992788/andre-drummond/) experiment. The [Pacers](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/IND/indiana-pacers/) wound up with that pick and took [Isaiah Jackson](/nba/players/3177551/isaiah-jackson/), who'd probably start for this Lakers team. The front office should just get the inevitable [Myles Turner](/nba/players/2152935/myles-turner/) trade over with already.

[Matt Ryan](/nba/players/2203041/matt-ryan/)'s shooting is insane. [Dennis Schroder](/nba/players/2067702/dennis-schroder/), [Damian Jones](/nba/players/2105182/damian-jones/) and [Thomas Bryant](/nba/players/2202681/thomas-bryant/). [Malik Monk](/nba/players/2355022/malik-monk/) replacement. Joining them are wings [Lonnie Walker IV](/nba/players/2938054/lonnie-walker-iv/) and [Troy Brown Jr.](/nba/players/2938055/troy-brown-jr/), who are both 23 and coming off their rookie contracts. [Juan Toscano-Anderson](/nba/players/3148292/juan-toscano-anderson/), both of whom are 29. [Russell Westbrook](/nba/players/1622555/russell-westbrook/) is back, too, after a summer of trade speculation.
