Carmelo that's a reach think he would be good off the bench but he's too ball dominant for today's nba.


2.) 27 Jun 2019 16:06:58
I would keep rondo also.


3.) 27 Jun 2019 20:00:30
giblet Lakers have no bench so his game would work perfect for only 2 teams. The Lakers or the Warriors.


4.) 30 Jun 2019 17:06:44
With things on the way, instead of Luc, or Seth, getting Terry Rozier an offer sheet starting 4mil will be worthy. He will be an off ball three point shooter LAL will ever need.


5.) 30 Jun 2019 21:04:43
Seth Curry at MLE is possible. Terry Rozier rejected a 4 year $48M deal from the Celtics. He's going to get paid a big contract with 9 teams already interested.


6.) 01 Jul 2019 03:56:25
*sigh

I really like Terry Rozier though. Didn't realize he was that expensive. Well, Kawhi meeting is ongoing. I still want to separate the cap in 2-3 solid players. This will give LAL more depth and flexibility.


 

 

05 Feb 2019 10:02:30
If Terry Rozier is available, even the odds are unlikely favorable, use Josh Hart and Mo Wagner to get him and add the Staples Center if they want more. Rozier as an off ball guard behind Lebron will create more space with KCP and Anthony Davis (if traded) .

Rozier, KCP, Lebron, Davis, McGee

Zu, Hill, Chandler, Svi, Caruso, Williams, Bonga.

In my opinion, Lakers management will highly trade their First round 2nd Draft Pick to a Star Caliber Player. And that's Paul George.

Here's the assumed scenario:

1. Trade Russell + Mozgov + 1rd28thPick TO Henson + Parker (Mil)
2. Trade Deng + Randle + 1rd2ndPick To Paul George (Ind)
3. Sign Kyle Lowry Max contract
4. Resign Tyler Ennis
5. Sign Dion Waiters 2yrs+1team

PG: Lowry, Ennis, Nwaba
SG: George, Clarkson
SF: Ingram, Waiters, Brewer
PF: Parker, Nance
C : Henson, Black, Zubac

Bye Kobe

1.) 06 Jun 2017 12:01:50
if they do trade the 2nd pick i doubt it will be for someone who will highly come next season.


2.) 11 Jun 2017 09:23:30
Lowry not going to rebuilding team.


 

 

13 Apr 2017 15:33:11
This will just be possible if Lakers will get any top 3 draft picks.

Trade: Mozgov, Randle and 2017 1st top 3 Pick to (Brooklyn) Brook Lopez.

Trade: Russell and Deng to (Milwaukee) John Henson and Teletovic.

Trade: Nick Young, Teletovic and 2017 1st round pick (From Houston) to Jimmy Butler.

You can say what you want. If you can't believe it check it on trade machine.

1.) 13 Apr 2017 15:44:32
Brook Lopez is not worth a top 3 pick. This isn't benefiting the Lakers. Lakers have enough assets without the pick to do straight up trades.


2.) 13 Apr 2017 18:19:48
Never believe a trade is good based on trade machine. The Bulls will want the top 3 pick for Butler. Lopez I would only see the Lakers trading for him if the Nets take Mozgov and Brewer. Maybe the 27th pick as well.


3.) 13 Apr 2017 19:47:10
So what if it works on the trade machine. You could trade James for Rose. Doesn't mean it a good trade. It just means the salaries work.


4.) 14 Apr 2017 06:40:00
I know that you won't believe in Trading Machines. But, it's part of the reason why lakers still losing badly this past few seasons. And I believe, they won't need the 2017 top 3 pick. I based my trades on PER and that's why I need to give top 3 pick to Brooklyn since we are giving them something low in return. And if they will need less, the better. Same goes to Jimmy butler. Well, the lineup should goes like this if succeeded:

C: Lopez, Henson, Zubac
PF: Black, Nance, Robinson
SF: Ingram, Brewer
SG: Butler, Nwaba
PG: Clarkson, Ennis.


5.) 15 Apr 2017 12:46:27
Bro your trades are trash. Brook Lopez ain't even in his prime no more. You traded D'Angelo for two bench big men. And no way jimmy butler gets traded for a 30yr swaggy and a late 1st rounder. Don't matter they work on espn trade machine. I could trade Mozgov for lebron on there. But don't matter cause they got no sense in them.

Just Rumors: Lebron, Anthony, Wade coming to L. A.
Necessity : L. A. sign Hassan Whiteside and Kevin Durant for max contract
Possibility : L. A. drafted Brandon Ingram
Reality : L. A. traded #2 Pick and Julius Randle for DeMarcus Cousins. L. A. traded D'angelo Russell and Future First Round Pick for Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward. Lakers signed DeMar Derozan. L. A. re-signed Jordan Clarkson, Tarik Black and Marcelo Huertas. L. A. Drafted Thon Maker for 32nd Pick.
PG : Clarkson, Huertas
SG : Derozan, Williams
SF : Hayward, Brown, Young
PF : Favors, Nance
C : Cousins, Black, Maker.

Danny Green signing with Lakers. Demarcus Cousins still available. Marcus Morris could be a solid fit. We need Kyle Korver. Give Patrick McCaw and Quinn Cook an offer sheet. And finally we have Jared Dudley.

PG McCaw, Cook, Caruso
SG Green, Horton-Tucker
SF James, Korver, Anthony, Dudley
PF Davis, Kuzma
C. Cousins, Morris

Second unit sux defensively. But the starting 5 will make the difference.

Bye Kobe

 

 

19 Jun 2019 08:41:30
We need shooting vets.

1. Kyle Korver
2. Wayne Ellington
3. Jamal Crawford
4. Marco Belinelli
5. Trevor Ariza (expensive though)

Bye Kobe

 

 

18 Jun 2019 09:35:20
For this season with AD, I think LBJ will play point forward most of the games. So it is more fitting to find space players than pushing hard for Kyrie or Kemba.

1. Reggie Bullock
2. Derick Rose
3. Danny Green
4. JJ Reddick
5. Nikola Mirotic
6. Demarcus Cousins (LESS THAN 10MIL)

Bye Kobe

 

 

21 Jun 2017 01:27:41
First, I'm the only one who visioned a trade for Brook Lopez way back April, 2017.

Second, I really belive that Lakers will be pursuing Paul George.

Third, I posted about Lebron James coming to L.A.

#2 and #3 is being negotiated now.

Bye Kobe

1.) 21 Jun 2017 02:26:10
Your not the only one who visioned that in this forum. Brook Lopez for Timofey Mozgov was rumored ever since the trade deadline. That was a very common trade rumor. The key was the prospect the Lakers had to give up. Hopefully the Pacers accept the offer but without Randle.


2.) 21 Jun 2017 02:31:53
Congrats.


 

 

27 Feb 2017 08:01:50
I'm so disappointed with those streak injuries that occurred Nov-Dec 2016 on Lakers future stars.

First off, I don't like Randle's and Russels's physical fitness. They are so prone to injuries. I'm projecting to 2017-2018 season that this two, although valuable in the future, i want them traded. I could see Ingram besting both of them in 2017-2018 season. And of course, hopefully to have Paul George by 2018.

Bye Kobe

1.) 27 Feb 2017 19:25:04
Injuries are apart of sports. Players get injuries all the time. To question Randle's and Russell's physical fitness is ridiculous. The Lakers are a top class organization and if any player wasn't physically fit we would hear about it and they would be sitting on the bench.


2.) 28 Feb 2017 02:12:12
Where were they when the lakers suffered losing streaks after they achieved 10-10? I'm pointing out that even they become good players and when they are needed the most they got injured. In my opinion, good players need to have a consistent physicality. Kobe Bryant got injured on his older days. Michael Jordan, Shaquille Oneil and Tim Duncan. They need to have at least 80 games played so I can be satisfied that they are topnotch players.


3.) 28 Feb 2017 04:55:22
So Paul George is not a top notch player? He missed almost a whole season.


4.) 28 Feb 2017 12:09:30
You are missing the point @toolguy. Paul George got injured during practice for USA Team and not during a long season of games. And I never referred to Paul George, I am pointing out Russell and Randle. I never believe Russell and Randle and the first place, because this season proves "Told Ya! ". I would love them both to be traded soon after this losing season ends.


5.) 28 Feb 2017 14:37:49
If you trade Russell and Randle the return will not be equal. You will see people saying trade them for stars when realistically its not happening. Russell and Randle are only in there 2nd season. It takes 5 to 6 years to develop players. Players like Kobe, Jordan, and Shaq have gotten injuries at the beginning of there careers. However this is the new NBA. Teams sit players now for rest or being cautious about an injury. Very few players on each team are playing 80 games anymore. Paul George would want to win as a Laker. So it would be better to have both Russell and Randle on the roster with George.


6.) 28 Feb 2017 15:29:36
So you just proved my point. George got hurt during practice. When he was more rested than during a long season. That is my point injuries happen it is part of the game. And you said it yourself you don't like them so you are going to be hard on them. The same way I don't like James and I don't put him in the greatest because he rests when he isn't feeling well or is to tiered. I will never put him on the same class of Jordan or Bryant for that reason.


7.) 28 Feb 2017 22:24:30
Man i got to get in on this. To say Pg3 isn't top notch did you ever play ball he top 10 in the league but look at that team now its gutted. Why toolguy holding on to hope with Randle is a joke dude can't shoot past 10 ft and skipped summer league when he needs all the help he can. As for james i'm with you a bit overrated and a crybaby definitely not on mamba level.


8.) 01 Mar 2017 04:39:51
I agree he needs to work on his shot. There is no doubt about that but there are plenty of guys that come into the league and can't shoot. As long as he puts the time in he can become a decent shooter. I'm not saying he's gunna be a D. Green.


9.) 04 Mar 2017 02:32:32
Lakers not winning more than 30 this season, next season and the year after. You know why? Too much baby sitting. And take note, Lonzo Ball is being projected to be drafted by Lakers. I believe Lakers lack a dominant big man. They always got out hustled and the team's rim protection is so low. To trade Randle and Russel to an All-Star caliber (excluding signing PG13) means giving Ingram, Black and Nance more time to shine.


10.) 13 Mar 2017 06:43:40
you are all dumbasses where was giannis his first season where was pg13 or as a matter of fact where was scottie pippen you don't get stars they develop injuries happen do uk how many time kobe and mj got hurt? no player doesn't get hurt deal with it celtics didn't have bradley for so long lowry is gone till playoffs kd is gone till playoffs love is gone as well every team has them.

NOLA wanted 4 first round picks and second round picks. They likely wanted to take every future assets of Lakers in exchange with AD. But anyhow, if the trade is successful, Lakers still need 2-3 shooters around Lebron and Davis to get past GSW.

Why I suggested this lineup?

Defense, Inner and outer Defense Zone is covered. Transition Def is also fast.

Offense, Russel and Lebron will be the key ball handler during setup.

Clarkson will only move around and wait at corner 3's.

Whiteside and Russel will do the Pick and roll.

Lebron James can do the the High Post Pick and Roll since they could shoot midrange jumpers.

Even Cousins could only wait the ball at 3 point areas after Lebron gathered a double team on him. Pass back to russel, and finally pass either Clarkson or Cousins.

Cousins and Clarkson doesn't necessarily hold the ball to make a play. They just need to wait.

Indiana ain't going to trade for players which will make them lose more.

You need to balance the players to match and satisfy both sides.

An example would be:

Deng, Mozgov, Randle, Young + 1st round pick if they got 1-3 pick.

Trade to : George, Thaddeus Young, Stuckey and Niang.

This will give Lakers a +2 win and Indiana would have a -2 win but they got a top 3 pick to even it out.

Tarik Black Still has a year of contract after this season.
Nick Young has a player option next season which he will likely to take.
Javale Mcgee and Dedmon will take away Zubac and Black playing time because Mozgov still in contract.

Russel, Clarkson and Ennis is already loaded in PG spot. Resigning Ennis is more likely.
Clarkson and Russel are combo guards and no need to have more SG and PG since Brewer and Ingram can play no. 2 spot.

Signing Paul George is all we need in 2018 though.
