The trade machine doesn't allow for more than 4-team trades, but you can make trades involving 5 teams or more, too. The rule is that with 3-team trades or more, each team must "touch" at least two other teams in the trade, per Larry Coon's CBA FAQ.
So instead of waiting to move Faried, perhaps we could actually try to involve a 5th team. It's intricate, but it's not impossible. I'd still rather do the Chicago deal because it's more direct (just absorbing Wade), but who knows if they are willing to play ball. So I'm just trying to come up with other possibilities. |

Frye and Jefferson are expirings, and Luke and Jefferson are reunited and it feels so good. We probably wouldn't even have to give up a pick for them to do this. |
Yes. Like this a lot. Arizona Lakers are legit. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

It kills me to say but if Zubac continues to show regression, we could really include him as a sweetener with Clarkson and Deng.
With Kuzma being the stretch forward we've been looking for, play Nance as a backup 5 and Kuzma backup 4. We're going to continue to play small ball either way.

I don't think Zubac is showing regression. I think he's gained strength while losing some lateral mobility. It's pretty common for bigs early on to struggle on rotations and lateral defense.
I don't think we should cut bait on him because of this summer league. He's still worth evaluating. _________________ Author of James Harden and the Strip Club

I think the FO would move him in a heartbeat if he was needed to make a deal...I have no reason to think this FO has ever viewed him as a piece they would have a hard time moving. I dont think anything has changed.....everyone outside of Ball and Ingram is considered "ok" to move if the right deal came along. |

I agree it's too early but man is he slow footed. He has to work on his lateral quickness and footwork. Horrible defending the PNR. |

I was as high on Zu as anyone and think he's really skilled. But I also think that the writing is on the wall. There's a certain way that we want to play, and we've cleaned house in that respect. JC will be gone by next season, and you've seen the kind of players we've drafted. We want to play positionless, versatile basketball, and we want to play fast. I just don't think that Zu will be a great fit going forward with that. I think the best play might be to include him in some type of deal where we get back value. Dumping Deng's money without having to stretch him, I would argue, represents value to us. So we'll just have to see what happens. |

I'd rather see TB develop further. His game fits our style much better than Zu at this point. _________________ We only celebrate championships.

Keep in mind at least to these eyes, refs are letting guys hack the F out of Zu with no call.
Hard to show progression with really, really, goofy officiating.
Lets see how the "pro's" call his games in october B4 we write the big Z off,,,, _________________ Creatures crawl in search of blood, To terrorize y'alls neighborhood. |

See what happened after lonzo got taken out? Offense stagnated
This is why we should get Kendall Marshall to back him up. That way we can run the same system in both lineups _________________ Kobe |

Jarrett Jack is a free agent. Tore his meniscus in Feb or March. What's his knee condition? Anyone know? If healthy, he's better than anything out there. Kind of a George Hill type game, but not quite as good on D as Hill. Plays with some fire and a chip on his shoulder too. _________________ #32 is the greatest Laker ever. |

100% on board with this. Always been a fan of his and he's one of the only guys in the league that could teach Lonzo a thing or two about being a playmaker without crazy blow by speed. My only issue is the lack of quick on-ball perimeter defenders. But at this point I'd take Kendall as our back up for sure. |

Jennings played with KCP in 2014-2015 season, and that was sadly the last time Jennings was relevant in the league. Kids from Compton too, if Lakers sign him, I can see a potential career resurrection. |

Last year's SL I remember him catching passes on the run in transition in traffic. This year he can't even seem to hold onto a rebound. It's really weird. He's basically playing the way I expected him to play as a rookie. |

I agree Zubac has been shocking this summer... weak and ineffectual on defense and the boards but he still has some nice shooting and passing skills so I wouldn't get rid of him unless we have Lopez, Cousins or Davis locked down long term. He will be handy against slow plodding half court teams... it's still possible the strength might come... maybe he's been overtraining and the 7 games in 10 days got the best of him. |
