The Lakers should try to get as many wins as possible. Even make a trade if it will make them better. The goal now should be a good FA off-season |
The FA dream is dead imo. Gave up on it after the new CBA. Best we'll get is Deng or Williams type players. Not bad if you sign Williams to a cheap deal. Bad if you sign Deng to an expensive deal. But at this point I'm not even really preoccupied with free agency or anything... the Lakers still have cap flexibility to go for a B-tier free agent if it comes to that but the actual growth will have to be internal. |
Agreed. All about getting as many shots in the lotto as possible within a cetain timeframe and drafting well while the team is bad. |
Takes too much time and there's a lot of uncertainty relying just on lottery pics. Need to get FA's to get competitive. Eddie and NVE did not get the Lakers to the playoffs until Ceballos joined them. Lakers probably couldn't sign Shaq if they were still a lottery team. To me based on history, lakers need FA's or trades to get to that next level. FA's are going to help get us to the playoffs. Not more lotto picks, |
Well Shaq isn't leaving Orlando in 2018, that was my point.
If you want to sign a max for a Ceballos caliber player, that's probably the best we can do. And it might be the smartest at this rate. |

Agreeing somewhat with both sides of the argument being quoted above......after building a solid foundation through the draft, the Lakers should be able to get a top-tier free agent. Its not just drafting well or signing good free agents exclusively, the Lakers need to do both extraordinarily well. I would be much more confident in Laker management if it had managed to insert a Laker option after the second year in Mozgov's or Deng's contracts. _________________ “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”

Ok, gotcha, but there will be a Top FA who does have the option to sign with the Lakers. The Lakers have to set themselves up to be appealing to those guys. Yeah, we need to sign one or two guys who can help get us to the playoffs first. Looks like Mozgov and Deng are not those guys. Which is unfortunate. If only the team can play near 500 ball the rest of the way, that would make life in the offseason easier.
I'm in favor of a Butler type deal also. We have the largest market - but what we don't have is a bonafide all star. We get that first all-star at his peak - and others will more likely come. |

|

ive been preaching the points this article made before this season even began. I dont expect the average fan to really buy into it but I hope the FO is smart enough to realize the implications of losing this top 3 pick and how foolish it is to hang on to a prayer that a franchise player is going to walk away 10s of millions to play for us. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

Even if we keep our top three pick, I think we're still a couple of years away from having a good enough foundation to attract a difference-making free agent. |

We will see how Ben Simmons looks when he finally plays
In the NBA, it only takes a relatively few players to make a difference.
Note: Dave McMennin(??) stated that the Cavs are 18-49 without Lebron. In addition, Lebron is forced to play heavy minutes to keep the Cavs (#1 team in the East on top) |

Unfortunately, getting that low draft pick and that in 2019 seems the best way to succeed.
It is unfortunate that the FO would put themselves in that position.
The FO just can't seem to make a good decision for the past 5 years or so.
They are deluded that the Lakers are still on top and that every player wants to play for the Lakers. The good players avoid the Lakers now.
When loosing seems to be the way to success, some changes in the FO needs to be made. |

David Stern overturning the CP3 trade was an unprescendent action that no other team had to survive.

Because of what the Warriors are going to do to us if we get there. |
That would end up being a good learning experience, we didn't become title contenders with Kobe until he endorsed the tough playoff loses early in his career. |
We didnt become a title contender until we drafted Kobe. I'm not sure how much that tought playoff loss had to do with us winning championships. We mostly won rings because we had a very talented roster.
If we tank we have a much better shot at having a talented roster. |

Lonzo Ball would be a perfect fit for the Lakers.
Russell plays more like a SG. He is a true pass first PG
like J. Kidd.
But it would take a first or second pick to get him most likely. |

Ceballos could score 50. We got Deng and Mozgov. That's like the class flunky thinking he is going to a UC. |

Ceballos scored 50, with 30 points all based on garbage points and fouls.
When the Lakers needed him to be a shot creator in the playoffs, he was completely shut down.

I hate "tanking" but here we have a golden opportunity to add a much needed playmaking or scoring pg to the team. The trick is to play hard, compete, gain valuable experience, and still lose. Luke should call Byron. |

lots of disagreement about who that would be in the draft thread
it's anyone's guess after fultz at 1. could be more dependent on individual team needs at the end of the day _________________ Austin Reaves

Like Jordan Farmar!
Jokes aside, I'm not crazy about him. He may be a pass first guard but he doesn't have that elite court vision that can pick a team apart. |

We might not have a choice if Fultz is off the board so it's either him or Jackson to improve the SG position. |

Don't disagree about ceballos. The point was that getting a player like him would be wishful thinking given our recent track record.
Ie the lakers are pretty much resigned to building through the draft. |

Exactly how I feel. This pick wasn't ours to begin with (in my mind) and the paramount concern is that our youngsters play as many meaningful minutes and try to win every game.
I still think that we will somehow get a top 3 pick even if we aren't bottom 3. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

The same kind of talk went on last year at this time, and we got no.2. I ain't chillin about the draft pick because I expect us to keep it...until we don't. Fultz or Smith Jr, I already love the sound of it. |

Wasn't last years top 5 protected? That's a big difference. I believe we always had a good chance of keeping that pick. This years odds are less than 50/50. |
