my thoughts on if we can't land another star during free agency.

sign -
Pat beverly- 6m
marcus morris- 6m
seth curry- 4m
carmelo- vets min

resign-
reggie bullock- 4m
caruso- 2m

pat beverly lock down defender that can hit the 3s. lebron handles the ball offense. Melo cause why not. he wants to play and lakers need cheap players atm. melo probably will take vets min. if not then boot him off. marcus morris is a perfect role player on or off the bench. Seth Curry would help our shooting alot. reggie bullock would be a cheaper role player at the 2 so i just thought of him at the 2. there are other options like KCP again or Danny Green. JJ Reddick would probably want more than 4-6 mils. And lastly Curuso cause he played extreamly well when he got the mins to show it.
pg- Beverly, Curoso
sg- Bullock, Curry
sf- Lebron, Carmelo
pf- Kuzma, Morris
cc- Davis, Wagner
lmk what your thoughts are.

lmk what your guy's thoughts are about this. just little something i put together. but anything can happen differently. lol

i believe the cap space for 2019 is 132m. Assuming we miss on durant and kawhi. klay says he wants to stay with gsw. jimmy has been lots of drama.
kyrie does not seem like he wants to be in celtics uniform anymore.
kemba walker needs to be in a winning team and hornets are not going to be there any time soon witht he people they got.

trade-
lonzo and ingram for beal.
FA sign-
kemba or kyrie for 4 yrs 139max 4 yrs 139 max.
resign javle for min.
now get role players to help our poor shooting/ defs.


pg- kemba/ kyrie 32m, isaac 1.4m
sg- beal 27m, hart 2m
sf- lebron 37,
pf- kuzma 1.9m,
cc- javale min 2.4m, wagner 2m

second option
FA sign-
demarcus cousins 4yrs 139 max
middelton 4yrs 72m (great shooter and defender)
plenty of cash left to sign role players.
have kuzma come off the bench and help score. lakers are not going to let ingram come off the bench.

pg- lonzo 8.7m, isaac 1.4m
sg- middelton 18m, hart 2m
sf- ingram 8m
pf- lebron 37m, kuzma 2m
cc- cousins 32m, wagner 2m.

The salary cap max is projected to be $109M. The Lakers would be at $65M payroll by the summer. So that leaves $44M. Idea 1 can work. Idea 2 can't. There isn't plenty of cash flow to sign players if you invest $50M in Cousins and Middleton with $44M in space, lol. By trading Ingram and Ball for Beal that will give extra money.


2.) 26 Feb 2019 01:58:52
Tbh i think lakers are just way to impatient. Russell is avg 20 and 8.randle is avg 20 and 10. Thomas bryant is having a awsome season with wizards. We all knw why russell got traded. But if they were going to let randle walk then i don't understand why they wouldn't traded him for cousins a few years ago. They wouldn't package randle nance and first rounds for cousins. Also if they would had kept russell and randle then draft tatum instead of lonzo. we would ne nice right now. Just wouldn't have kuzma lol. I am a lonzo fan too but we need to be more patient. Ingram is starting to play a lot better this mid season. i would just keep our same players this year and hope to land 1 more superstar in free angency.


3.) 26 Feb 2019 23:01:23
The Lakers were willing to trade Randle and Russell for Cousins. The Kings wanted Ingram instead of Russell. Which the Lakers weren't interested in doing. Vlade Divac the Kings GM admitted the Lakers offer was better than the Pelicans but too the Pelicans offer anyway. Lakers fans have to understand that small market teams are not the Lakers friends.

Right now they don't want to deal with the Lakers at all and give the Lakers a star player. Russell and Thomas are playing well due to minutes. They weren't getting the same minutes as a Laker. Nobody was offering anything at the deadline for Randle. Lakers were't going to give him a long term deal so it was best to let him walk especially when you have Lebron James on the team. He wouldn't get the same minutes as he is as a Pelican.


4.) 26 Feb 2019 23:57:11
Russell is playing well due to yrs of development. I wouldn't say mins cause he played good mins in LA. But however russell did do some immature things ohh n the locker room to lead him to a trade. However my point us for the lakers to be patient and nkt try to trade our entire squad for anthony davis. c'mon he's a free agent the following year. u got to give lonzo a little time. Ingram is starting to blossom. Everybody already knows how special kuzma is. Yea i know we got lebron now. But don't forget this, lebron sign with the lakers knwing this was the young squad he had to be patient with.


5.) 27 Feb 2019 17:16:10
I do agree with the impatience. Making quick fixes is why Magic Johnson was hired. When hired he had a 2 year deadline. This summer will be key. I just think Magic needs to take it down a little and start looking at the future rather than what happens now. Cause the Lakers aren't winning no championship the way the team is now. Hopefully Kuzma and Ingram turn into allstars. I don't see Lonzo Ball as an allstar player but a role player especially when he doesn't have to shoot the ball with Lebron James on the team.

Trade: 2nd pick, deng, randle for pg24
Draft:28th pick justin jackson
Lineup:
Russell, ingram, pg, nance, mozy
Clarkson, nwaba, jackson, black, zu
If not then clarkson trades spots with deng or randle on the trade.
Rusell, ingram, pg, randle or deng, mozy

Just trying to he a bit more realistic. lol. more than likely lakers are going to keep the pick and draft ball then see how things play out in 2017 with the young cores to see whos really improving or not then go big in FA 2018.
Line up 2017:
Ball, russell, ingram, deng, mozy
Clarkson, nwaba, randle, nance, zu
Only reason i put deng at starting 4 is cause he had requested to play the 4 and is making too much to come off the bench. But it could be randle starting vise-versa. However randle did play a lot of the 3 when nance and black/ zu were both in games as well. but how ever it works out for the bench while adding a few FA.

Yeah I see a surprise deal where Deng is traded. Randle will most likely start.


 

 

21 Jun 2016 08:25:42
kd is not leaving okc for a rebuilding young lakers. go for darozan.
draft ingram
draft maker
sign whiteside max
sign darozan max
sign anderson 3yrs
sign courtney lee 2yr
resign clarkson 4yrs
resign black, heurta for min

russell, lou, heurta
clarkson, lee
darozan, ingram, brown
randle, anderson, lnj
whiteside, black, maker

trying to be a bit more realistic. lol.

labeast

1.) 21 Jun 2016 11:39:30
Well I mean this is pretty realistic, except I'm 95% sure that Anderson won't be coming off the bench for us, nor will we go after him for the money he will command.

Oh and I would personally start Ingram, have derozan at SG and have Clarkson come off the bench at PG. just my opinion.


2.) 21 Jun 2016 14:56:06
Where is Larry Nance jr.?


3.) 21 Jun 2016 16:45:04
This team needs more defensive players. There are already a bunch of talented scorers on this team but only like 2 or 3 actually play defense


4.) 21 Jun 2016 18:06:56
This is one of the most realistic teams on this page. It could happen if the Lakers can find a way to get Derozan and Whiteside to sign.

Lakersfan4life- believe it or not 2 to 3 defensive players on a team in the league right now is actually good. Last season the Lakers had zero defensive players so its an upgrade.


5.) 21 Jun 2016 23:47:20
Thanks guys. well the line up can always be adjusted. as for defense players, there really isn't much out there that can help. only way to get more defs players is by trading. there's not much lakers can offer if they are trying to keep their young core players. so I agree with city dude. this is a upgrade and like I said. i'm trying to be more realistic than saying they are going to get pg13 or lebron or kd.


6.) 22 Jun 2016 02:22:17
I think DeRozan would just stunt the lakers young players growth. Just stick with the young guys unless you're signing a center that'll fit with them


7.) 22 Jun 2016 04:39:22
we don't need derozan


8.) 22 Jun 2016 05:37:41
Cmaestre12 Lakers need talent. If they go into this season without Derozan or without an allstar maybe even two they will not make the playoffs. Keeping the young core intact is needed but without the extra talent it will be tough to compete. Lakers with this group and Kobe only won 17 games. Keep that in mind.


9.) 22 Jun 2016 05:53:59
Cmaestre12 why don't we need derozan? lakers need to take the allstar they can get instead of missing out on free agency like they did the last 3 seasons. kds, lbj,pg13, or any of those superstars aren't comming. I rather go for derozan then spend lots of money on a injury prone parsons. and harrison barnes I wouldn't mind but not for the price he's asking cause he's not all that worth .


 

 

09 Jun 2016 10:24:40
draft ingram. I like simmons too but 76ers seems like they going to take him.
sign kd or derozan max
sign whiteside max
sign joakim 2 years 14mil
sign evan turner 2 years 7 mil
resign clarkson 3 years 30mil
resign huerta for min
trade nick young or any defs player if not then we will see what he can to with lukes shooting offense gameplan.
dont sign h. barnes! . not worth that much money. unless he's willing to come to la for the right amount he's worth then maybe.

starting and bench
pg- russel, lou, huerta
sg- clarkson, turner
sf- kd/ derozon, ingram
pf- randle, lnj
cc- whiteside, joakim

if miss on kd, derozan, and whiteside then ill go for al harford, parsons, batum.

labeast

1.) 09 Jun 2016 11:03:12
Start kd at 2 then ingram at 3, lakers will utilize Ingram to produce and to progress instantly, clarkson is a killer in the bench like iguodala, just my thoughts.

i know we all want lebron but lakers are not going to get lebron, he wants rings and would rather not join a rebuilding team. let's all hope that all these rumors with pg13 loving la comes true. a trade i wouldn't mind right now is if we send clarkson, randle, and brewer to the cavs for kevin love. then we sign pg13 in the offseason as well as a few other talent. i like Lopez game and i think laker should be giving lopez more minutes than what he's getting now. so i wouldn't mind resigning him if the price is right since there aren't any good FA bigs anyways. cousins won't be returning for a while and DJ is going to want a very expensive contract. then sign tyreke evans to help the bench put up some pts. if no lopez then maybe go for noel.


ball, ennis,
pg13. hart
ingram, evans
love, kuzma
lopez or noel, nance

sign pg13 4yrs 120m
sign tyreke evans 2yrs 22m
resign lopez 3yrs 54m or noel 2yrs 24m

let me know what you guys think. not sure about he salary cap next year but i see teams this year with a salary of 137million.

labeast

1.) 01 Feb 2018 15:40:22
Don't resign Lopez but this is awesome.


2.) 07 Feb 2018 23:53:25
I'm not sure that PG is coming but I wouldn't mind taking a chance on Noel if he isn't getting a lot of offers in F. A which he might not bc he hasn't been all that impressive.

That said the Lakers could use a mobile rim protector and rim runner, does seem to have attitude and work ethics concerns though.

wouldnt want Lopez back for more than a one year if other options aren't there. He can't keep up running with this team, poor 3pt shooting year, can't rebound or play D outside. Doesn't seem like a great fit especially when not shooting well.

lonzo is way better than jackson. no need for jackson to come in. we got pope, kuz, ingram, stephenson. and hart all as gaurds. lonzo can defend already too. tyson chandler is not the same rim protector he once was and can't run the floor as he did before. javale shown he can play defs if given the opportunity to and run the floor. but yet again javale is javale. lol.
