    I think it's awesome that Giannis goes to Miami, that's probably the least likely team to contend of all his suitors

    he'd be a big problem if he joined OKC or C Bags and stayed healthy

    I think the Lakers need to focus on adding talented players.

    All this talk about lob threat this and that.

    looking at the finals Wemby Towns. Nobody in here would say Towns fits what Luka does. But wouldn’t yall want him now? He’s not a lob threat.

    so this leads me to Sabonis. No way do I not acquire him. No way do I say no I don’t want him.

    if the Kings want to trade him. I’ll take him. Now I don’t think the Kings will trade with us. And that’s just stupid cause they’re just dumb f***ing idiots. Cause look at Mike Brown.

    that will be 2 championship winning coaches that the Kings have fired.

    quite simply put you add talent and you acquire it. Jokics not a lob threat but we’d acquire him. You get the talent and deal with the rest. Simple as that.

    I’ll take Sabonis.

    Luka
    Reaves
    Smart
    Lebron
    Sabonis

    Hayes
    Robert Williams
    Thiero
    Kennard
    Hachimura
    Thyblsee

    yall figure the rest out. I could care less. I want talent. The Lakers have to get more talented players. You need a talented roster to compete with these other teams.

    Apparently the bucks favoured trade is with Portland - but Giannis is out on them. Boston may swing for him and Brown is the best player that could be traded for Giannis. So that leaves Heat as the current front runner and that package would be Herro, Ware, JJJ and Jovic

    I'm almost certain we would attempt to go for Ware if the Bucks were open to trading him. He is just a phenomenal fit allows us to play big or 5-out. The trade would be we take Wiggins and Ware for 2 firsts.

    I would trade two first round picks for Sabonis. I would. I feel like it could be a Gasol level trade for this team.

    him and Luka would be incredible.

    and looking at you San Antonio. You know what Sabonis does????????????


    he boards!!!!!! He gets rebounds. I’d be pressing getting Sabonis hard.

    And Abeer I repeat Abeer. Wemby is in play. If the Spurs don’t win this championship. When he’s due to be a free agent L.A. is an option. He has other interests.

    and he’s going to be obsessed with winning a championship. Legacy legacy I look at Shaq

    I don’t see that team winning. I don’t like the coach I don’t like Fox I don’t like The way they utalize him. Rob has relationships.

    Luka is a superstar hall of famer who can score at will. I see Wemby as the guy he would like to team up with. And Luka is a guy Wemby wants to play with.

    Abeer I know you think I’m crazy. I repeat Abeer I know you think I’m crazy but Luka his ability to score will make things so easier for Wemby.


    There’s way more spacing with players like Luka. And that’s why superstars try to play with other superstars because of what you’re seeing in this series.


    As good as Fox is he’s not Luka. Fox was acquired to be his Robin. He was never a Luka. Ironically Fox is the reason Sacramento didn’t draft Luka. I just see it I know how the Lakers move. Mark Walter his golden plan Ohtani in Baseball. And his golden plan why he bought the Lakers. Wemby Jabbar Shaq we’ve seen this before. When Wemby gets here he’ll be ready.

    Luka
    Reaves
    Thiero
    Hachimura
    Wemby

    I've never believed in blocking people, we're here to debate and have different points of view thrown at us. Lord knows half the forum could of blocked me over the Westbrook years haha.

    Harden actually played pg from sg is first position So he too can control the pace of the game. Luka plays to score in fact it was something he tried to work on last summer playing off the ball. Luka also lives and die by the 3 and will be just like Harden as he ages. James harden can drive, and hit the mid. https://youtube.com/shorts/rEIiYA1ecRE?si=UoBP4YLS8NxUqBb5 ......... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-3se02aHZmc Bird played defense, was not a foul baiter, did not have a step back did not take that many 3s as the game was different.

    Not sure how i would but would start by letting Lebron go. Either have Austin come off the bench or traded. Wont have Luke, Austin and Luka on the same team. find a talented big a pg and get 3/d to round out the team.

    I like Sabonis but i would round out the team with long athletic 3/d players and ditch the Austins, Luka, Lebron core.
