If I were the GM of the Lakers, I will not sign anybody this offseason or the following offseason and just let the young guys develop. I see us winning 30-35 games next season and 40-45 the following season.

By the 2018-2019 offseason, our young guys would have already shown the potential they have and would be experienced enough to compete for championships. I would sign Paul George (he's from LA and can be the next superstar to bring a championship to LA) and Demarcus Cousins (has already stated how he loves the young core the lakers have in place)

Lakers 2018/ 2019 starting 5:

PG: Russell
SG: PG
SF: Ingram
PF: Randle
C: Cousins

Of course a lot can change by then like Pacers becoming contenders which would make PG want to stay in Indiana, Cousins gets traded to a contender making him want to stay with that team, and worst case scenario, all our young guys becoming total busts and garbage players which would be a complete turn off to all future free agents and can push our rebuild back many, many years.

I like letting the core grow. But we should resign Clarkson. How about trading our 1st round pick in 2017 with Lou and Nick for Demarcus Cousins this year?
