Lakers offseason plan (assuming Lebron leaves the franchise, Ayton and Smart pick up their options, Bufkin's option not picked up, and Kleber and...
Utah doesn't have the same leverage in this off-season that they had the last 2 seasons. The Lakers nor Ainge want to go down the offer sheet...
Their roster is kind of depleted now and top heavy. I imagine the 23rd pick to go along with their projected lottery pick would be of interest to...
They'd get 2 unprotected 1st from us in this scenario. One immediate and one distant. They have communicated off and on past couple years, not...
Knecht + 2026 1st round pick (projected 23) + 2033 1st round pick for Kessler (descending deal starting at 35 million). Utah already paying JJJ...
He's another defensive/non-shooting 4 like Vando.
He's another 4.
I would like to keep Jake if possible too, but by no means is he a deal breaker in this scenario. The room exception would be available. About 9.4...
We might trade for him. We might be able to get a 3 for 1 deal with Rich Paul. Step 1: Trade LaRavia + 2026 drafted player to Denver for Watson...
Well thats the whole point. You would want them to be able to play well together. That's pretty much what people were saying regarding Westbrook,...
DeRozen wouldn't have been a good fit either.
I had to talk myself into it, like some of us fans tend to do sometimes. I gave Lakers management the benefit of the doubt, figuring they knew...
Hear me out. - They have a surplus of picks with three in 2027 and three in 2029. - The lowest of those three picks is very likely to be the...
(1) Trade 2031 1st to Brooklyn for 2027 worst 1st and 2029 worst 1st. (2) Trade 2026 Lakers 1st (projected 23rd pick) + 2027 Brooklyn worst 1st...
Actually, it would be better to just renounce Rui. Rui's 14-17 million or 27 mill cap hold would tie up space and require the Lakers to send out...
Lakers next move is to sign Rui to an extension. It would arguably be better to have his contract on the books for 14-17 million than his 27...
No, we shouldn't have to trade a 1sts in that scenario.
Jericho Sims!
Low key Kennard isn't that bad at defense. -0.3 career DBPM, and 0.0 this year fwiw.
He probably has a low cap hold too lol
