NBA.com article on why Lakers should pursue KJ


Jun 30, 2015, 9:44 PM

David Aldridge on NBA.com saying the Lakers should take a look;

"The 22-year-old McDaniels, sent to the Rockets from Philly at the trade deadline, is worth dropping a sheet on. The former second-round pick of the 76ers last year famously rejected a long-term deal with Phily, opting to sign for one year and bet that he'd outperform the typical second-rounder's deal. After some ridiculous flights of athletic fancy in Philly (and not so many with the Rockets), he appears to be right. And the Lakers should gamble on him. McDaniels has legit two-way potential as a wing player.

The Lakers certainly have the cap room to sign McDaniels to the same kind of back-loaded offer sheet that the Rockets used to get Jeremy Lin from the Knicks and Omer Asik from the Bulls in 2012. The Rockets will be looking for that third leg of the triad to go with Harden and Dwight Howard, though, along with needing to re-sign Josh Smith. It's hard to see them being willing or able to match a sheet on McDaniels that came in at, say, $6 or $7 million annually.

No doubt, the Lakers would be betting on the come that McDaniels is worth it. But he could be a scary good 3-and-D guy down the road. You can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs."
