Depends on who we get in the draft. If we get a big - Dragic
If we get a guard, Jordan or Gasol. |

I doubt Mac is coming so I'd be loking at
Plan A - DeAndre & Dragic
Possible- we could possibly get Monroe and M. Carroll / Robin & Carroll
And it'll our needs will depend on draft night as well.... _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team ! |

I think DeAndre or Monroe are the only guys we will have mutual interest in.. Maybe just maybe Love if the Cavs font win it all. I think DJ is the second coming of Howard and only will be valuable with other pieces that fit his style of play. But.... He does bring superstar label and is a nice piece to build upon. I'd rather have Love and Gasol but he seems the most realistic.
1. We need a PF who can play away from the basket. I wouldn't mind bringing Boozer back on the cheap or going after a veteran like David West who played under Scott. West and Jordan reminds me of West and Chandler. West can still play a good 2-3 years. Give him a decent contract as he plays out his contract he can also mentor a young Randle.
2. We need a point guard who can get him the ball by creating. for a year I like Andre Miller who will be cheap and can mentor Clarkson. I also like Aaron Brooks but Miller may be cheaper.
I'd say draft Justice Winslow, Dakari Johnson, and Melo Trimble. |

Hibbert is someone that is starting to grow on me, and I would love to add him if we draft Mudiay or Winslow. |

Chandler's age is a disqualifier for me. I think we have no chance with Gasol or Dragic so...
I would be content with Love. |

With Chandler I see someone that can play great for 2 more years, and probably still pretty well for another 2. He's not a long term solution, but you can't get all of your long term fixes all at once. |

I am starting to get this sense as well. It actually makes more sense then DJ to me? I would rather have DJ of course, but Hibbert does seem to be someone kind of under the radar? |

Yeah we can. WCS is basically a Tyson Chandler with a jumpshot if you want to go that route.
Lakers won't be a contender for a while. There is no point in guys like Chandler or Marc in their 30s.
It only makes sense if we were a few pieces away to contend, otherwise it would not work at all. |

It all depends on who we draft. Assuming we draft a perimeter player, I think Jordan will get the 1st call. |

I wouldn't mind that route either.
Again there is no rush for this. There is no free agent here that will make much of a difference for the Lakers short term into contending. Lakers need to focus on the future and developing their talent.
Only get guys who can support it, not be a detriment to it. |

Forgot to ask the most important question. Can any of these guys guard Westbrook? _________________

Building a good team with capable players now helps attract difference makes later.

Well according to some, probability is irrelevant. Thus Mitch would best be advised to visit a feng shui master to see if the potted ferns within his office are oriented in the right direction on an annual basis. |

Actually being in the 30's is the best time to play basketball...... and no it's not gonna take a while for the Lakers to rebuild.... there is a lot of flexibility the Lakers can maintain for the next several years... |

I think Monroe.
Most likely to be on the move in FA and also likely to be an asset down the road in 2 years of he doesn't fit in great on the court.
But a lot depends on who we draft. |

Lakers need to put pressure on the Spurs and give green a good offer.. It's likely the Spurs are gonna be busy trying to lock up Leonard to a lengthy deal and also have to know rather they will have Duncan back next year.. Lakers can steal green away from the Spurs if they play there cards right. |
