pope, lopez, zubac, and nance needs to go for draft picks, or target aaron gordon, nerlens noel, and boogie cousins. you need cousins scoring and toughness. gordon is big, fast, athletic, and can score. noel is athletic, rebounder, rim protector, and would be great on pick and roll.

Well Noel is injured right now so he is out. The problem with Pope and Lopez is that the Lakers aren't taking back contracts for next season and many teams just don't have expiring contracts valued up to Pope $18M and Lopez $23M. The draft pick you are thinking of would be a 2nd round pick. The only team that would make sense would be the Sixers at this point. Zubac and Nance can be moved quickly but the Lakers aren't going to let them go for cheap. It wouldn't make sense to trade Nance. Zubac maybe but do you want a 2nd for him? Probably not.

Plus I would keep Pope and Lopez as back ups Incase we strike out on Cousins, George and James. Nance is on a friendly contract maybe if we could get a first. Zubac let him develop. He’s cheap. We need some cheap contracts to get room for the big names.

Why would you keep Pope for “backups”? He is pure trash. Low basketball IQ, anti-clutch, gambling defense, streaky shooting. It pains me too see him play. I don’t care if he shares the same agent as LeBron. LeBron isn’t just going to say “thanks for taking care of KCP, sign me up”. Josh Hart deserves to be getting his minutes, he is younger and without a doubt, better. That’s my 2 cents.

Lakernation KCP is not trash. He is the Lakers best defender and does have some offensive game. His outside shooting hasn't been impressive but has shown moments on the defensive end. Putting Hart in the starting line up is fine but keep in mind Lakers aren't winning with him as a starter either.

The lineup was pretty weak when Hart was in the lineup, no Ball and Ingram for a few games. I just hope we pull it together so we don’t give the Celts a high draft pick. Cupcake and Buss are still screwing us over : (.

Yeah that Nash trade didn't pan out. The issue is that this team just isn't playing well. If it did then the draft pick would be lower. Giving the Celtics a pick was the fault of the Sixers. So far Fultz hasn't played and they gave the Celtics the 3rd and either the Lakers pick this year or Kings pick next year. That was kind of stupid. Eventually these picks the Celtics are getting will come to an end. I personally find it funny that Celtics fans are more concerned about getting the Lakers pick than winning a championship this season. It's like will this pick pan out and also will this pick even be on the team.
