Lakers fans the rebuilding process is almost over and here are some moves i'd like to see us make to become a contender for years to come.
2016
Stay pat there's no need for a major trade for a superstar before the season. If a Calderon type deal presents it self where we would get a draft pick to take on a contract then take it otherwise no need. Focus on player development. This team most likely won't make the playoffs but they also won't be at the bottom of the lottery either so our pick is gone in 2017.
2017
First things first our goal should be Westbrook so in order to prove to him we're a contender we need to go get another superstar hopefully Cousins. After the season his value should diminish enough for us to just have to give up Russell and Nance to get him. After we get him we should trade mozgof and the 2nd round picks in the Calderon deal to a team that will take on his contract maybe Houston or Brooklyn. After these two trades I feel that is good enough for Westbrook to sign. We should then go after wither Tyreke Evans or Livingston to have a taller guard run the the 2nd team offense and also Taj Gibson to replace Nance

Westbrook Livingston
Clarkson Williams
Ingram Deng Brown
Randle Gibson
Cousins Zubac Black

This team is a playoff team, contender status depends on Randle and Ingrams growth.
2018
Sign Cousins to max deal should compete for championships for years to come.

I feel that cousins deal could also be for Clarkson and Randle but regardless we should be good. Any comments?

I like the idea behind it but I rather have a pg that can make threes. With a guy like Cousins down low we need shooters on the outside. Also I really don't think Cousins will be in Sac at the end of the year. I think he will be traded before then.

I would also like to see some moves like these. Hopefully the men making the decisions will also

Toolguy,
I'll concede it is possible that he could be gone which is the only scary part which is why I'm not opposed to going after him at the deadline after we see what the core can do and who we're willing to trade.
