Can't stop thinking about this:
If the lakers draft Lonzo Ball, Dlo moves to SG.

Let's say Lonzo shows promise and shows he's our for sure future PG and same with Ingram and shows it next season to be our future SF. What if D-Lo shows he's on the cusp of being a star and average 20-5-5 in 45/ 40/ 80 next year and we sign PG13 in free agency. What do we do with D-Lo if PG takes his spot? We can't just put a rising star like Dlo on the bench. He would get a Huge offer from another team next year, and if we would package him with Randle for a star big, who would be even worth them two in this scenario? There is no star big thay anyone would consider trading right now that would be worth in this case a rising star and Randle.

I agree, that's why the Lakers should instead just trade away their second pick together with Deng or Mozgov plus future picks for Paul George right away. D'Angelo Russell would still be the PG.

Sixers, Lakers, Suns, Grizzles had good drafts.

Sixers got Simmons (best player in class) and 2 wings who can shoot

Lakers got the 2nd best player and a first round talent in Zubas

Suns got Bender and Chriss thanks to the Kings

Grizzles took advantage of Baldwin and Davis falling.



Maker was my favorite player in the draft but 10 is too high.

Kings were high when drafting Papa Johns.

Happy with Zubac, but was hoping Davis would fall.

Lakers realistic offseason
Draft Ingram at #2
Draft Qui or Hammons at 32

Sign Ezeli 4 years 60 million
Stretch Young
Sign Gerald Green
Resign Clarkson, Black, and Huertas

PG Russell/ Huertas
SG Clarkson/ Williams
SF Ingram/ Green/ Brown
PF Randle/ Nance Jr.
C Ezeli/ Hammons/ Black.

I would only pay Ezeli 10 mill a year.

I do like drafting Hammons at 32 and your realistic outlook but at the same time I think the Lakers will actually do better, even if not by that much.

Lakers trade future second

Thunder trade Singler Morrow and Huestis

Thunder clear around 9-10 million in cap space

Lakers hope Singler bounces back and get a shooter in Morrow along with a young wing in Huestis.

THEKING

Why would we do that trade? The only decent player on that list is Morrow.


2.) 13 Jun 2016 08:18:13
this is good if we cannot sign any FA. wes need to find ways to reach salary floor somehow. huestis has potential too.

Lakers offseason
draft Ingram
Trade Young and Williams and #32 pick to Rockets for #43 pick. Young had a career year under Antoni and Williams could follow him there since Antoni loves guards.

Resign Black, Clarkson
Sign Chalmers 2 years 16 mill wi a team option
Sign Affaflo 2 years 28 mill player option
Sign Gerald Green 2 years 12 mill
Sign Ezeli 3 years 45 mill

PG Russell/ Chalmers
SG Affaflo/ Clarkson
SF Ingram/ Green/ Brown
PF Randle/ Nance Jr.
C Ezeli/ Black/ DP.

how does that trade help us? we need to keep the 32pick to get maker and if we are getting rid of both young and Williams, I want something good in return.


2.) 05 Jun 2016 23:20:56
Way to much for a 43rd pick. Remember we basically got the 46th pick for cash considerations when we picked JC6


3.) 06 Jun 2016 02:15:05
The point of the trade is to get rid of young and Willimas contracts to create more space for FA


4.) 06 Jun 2016 04:22:25
We can get way more than just a 43 pick for a higher pick, Williams and young


5.) 05 Jun 2016 21:36:46
Just curious why do you have the Lakers giving away the #32 pick, Williams and Young for basically nothing when the Lakers will be under the cap with your plan? Young could easily have a bounce back year under Walton.


6.) 07 Jun 2016 01:56:02
Because they are distractions to the team.

Lakers are getting Calderon and 2 future second round picks for nothing

I love this deal for the Lakers. They needed veterans, 3 point shooting, and a floor general. They also didn't have a second round pick until 2020 and they filled it all in one trade. He's also an exprIng deal.

"Bust. " "Immature" we get it. That's all you want to say without giving him a real chance, post all star break where he started almost every game, 15 points, 3 assists and rebounds, 38% from three.

I'm pretty sure most of you didn't watch laker games at all but if you listen to me, the lakers had no set offense. Russell pass the ball to Kobe, go to corner. Let Kobe take 20+ shots with no system. Lakers had no system at ALL. He wasn't surrounded with the best veterans either. Huertas never played in the nba, Williams isn't a mentor, young only cares about women and money. Bass and Hibbert are really the mentors with Kobe. It was more about Kobe final year. Give him a coach who won't blast him and the team, with an actual system, and some real veterans and then judge him, before we can call him a bust.

Let's not act like young didn't do anything wrong, both did wrong things, but in my opinion young did the worse thing. Russell could easily learn from this no matter what things are said about him. Sixer fans shouldn't talk about immaturity when okafor got into bar fights and over speeding on a bridge and Noel trashing an apartment he rented.

Hibbert sucks at rebounding, WCS is so much better,

Hibbert an WCS are not the same thing. Caulley stein is way more athletic than Hibbert and would be a great fit. He can actually move around unlike Hibbert.

It's just on the main page where everyone calls Russell a bust and everyone hates on the lakers.

Why wouldn't he opt out? He's making 9 millions when he can make 20+ million.

Blocks and rebounds aren't everything to defense. The heat defensive rating is better without white wide than with him. Instead of being a good defender he tries for blocks and rebound more than he does about his man

I love whiteside but people say he is a defensive monster but Heat are better without him on defense. I would love to have him but I want a defensive minded center next to Randle like ezeli or Noah
