As you yourself said, I don't know why San Antonio would do this. But just make the damn call and ask |

1. Randle needs to come off of the bench, and let Kuzma start or...
2. Trade Randle to San Antonio for Lamarcus Aldridge.
Before you say "heck no", this is why:
Aldridge is extremely unhappy in San Antonio and despite his drop off in production, he is still a deadly midrange shooter. Randle... lets face it, he will Never be a good shooter and his lack of shooting, it disrupts the spread offense style that we want to play. Aldrige and Lopez would spread the court for Lonzo to be able to penetrate and kick and both of the bigs would be deadly off of those passes. And in a trade like this, the Spurs would be happy to get a young, promising player and maybe, just maybe, we could add Deng to the trade and get him off the books.
I think that this is something that should be looked into at least. |
You do understand that the salary differences b/w Jules and LMA are immense? And no, Spurs won't take Deng as a salary filler either. |
I am fully aware of the salary difference and I am not oppose to having to adds something extra as well. but, why do fans do this? always say what another team wont do. You don't know what they would do unless you try. Look what OKC gave of for PG and Melo. Look what we gave up for Pau.
If our front office is thinking with that, "so and so team what do that trade", without even trying, they should be fired! |
So we trade Randle and KCP for LMA? The Spurs might go for that, Pop has always had kind words about JR. Would LMA opt out, or would it take a pick or two to trade his ending contract? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Think like what? Discuss on a discussion board whether a team would or would not make a trade? So we can't discuss trades? Every post should just be assuming any trade is possible? Whether we discuss it or not it has no bearing on whether the Lakers call them. Regardless we are not involved in those conversations. We are just here to talk about it. |

Initially, I thought why would they give us LA for Jules. But upon second glance, they might actually consider a Randle/Clarkson/2nd Round Pick combo. Pop already knows Jules from team USA. If anyone can turn Randle into the best version of himself it's Pop. They immediately get younger and faster. JC could become a better player under the tutelage of Parker. At the very least JC give Pop another very good athlete. They are both young enough to be moldable. They are both from Texas and in JC's case San Antonio. With Gasoline hoisting 3's, Randle can clean up underneath, And they get rid of LA, who actually isn't working out there. LA doesn't fit our plans though, but it gives us a really good quality player, but who can also be a difficult teammate and refuses to play the 5. |

I don't think OP's trade makes sense. Lakers' goal is to free up 2018 cap space for 2 max free agents. Aldridge has a player option for 2018-19 so no guarantee he opt out. To obtain the required cap space, Lakers have to trade Clarkson and Deng. Randle will be a free agent this offseason and his cap hold is $12.5 million unless we waive his rights, at which point we are better off trading him as well.
Realistically, I don't think Randle is good enough to attach Deng's terrible contract so I view Deng's contract as untradeable. We will likely use the stretch provision to spread the remaining years of his contract. That leaves us with trading Clarkson and Randle for cap space.
Players with expiring contracts are Booker - Nets, Nelson - Nuggets, Frye - Cavs, Ariza - Rockets, Williams - Clippers, Wright - Memphis, Johnson - Jazz. |

I prefer that the Lakers remain patient and keep Randle but I can see some long shot value here for SA.
Contracts actually match up. Aldridge for Randle and Deng. Close enough to create some flexibility. Deng has an extra year but IMO Randle offsets the downside enough financially.
And if anyone can get some performance out of Deng it would be Popovich and the Spurs. Throw in a promising Randle and it is not so far fetched if the rumors of how unhappy Aldridge is are true.
Not sure Aldridge can play at the pace the Lakers seem to be striving for. How many aging slow half court big men can they fit on the court? |
Because he never explained why SA would entertain this idea, how Randle would fit with the Spurs so Pop would be interested.
Does he even know the Spurs' lineup? Doesn't a good trade proposal work for both teams and shouldn't a poster explain the fit for the other team?
Because the whole world knows the Lakers probably will not resign Randle, I think the best the Lakers could hope for in a Randle trade is an expiring contract coming back for a package of Randle and Clarkson ...
Randle, Clarkson, and Zubac for Greg Monroe (bought out) and Rashad Vaughn. |

Soooo anyway the Lakers can get Devin Booker?
He would look amazing in this offense next to Zo. |
