|

We have a long list of players who might stay or won't stay, there is a sense that the Lakers are serious about this max plan and might make sacrifice changes to accomplish there goal, if in the end you had to keep a player on the team right now, who would you pick? |

I think the Lakers definitely keep Kuzma
I think they also keep both BI and Ball....but if some things come together and they go all in on win now I could see one of these two being moved if it enabled bringing in a top tier guy in his prime, but it would have to be a situation where at the end of the day the Lakers are fielding three bona fide all stars, like Bron, Boogie and PG....I'm not sure if that' even feasibly possible financially/contract wise...if not then those two are not going anywhere...
Everyone else I think is up for grabs |

I guess either Ingram or ball. I'm not sold either is going to be a star or special player but they have the most obvious upside given their age |

Ingram,Ball, and Kuzma. I couldn’t give a (bleep) about anyone else. If it’s only one I would keep Ball. |

I trade any player if I can get a good return. We have no untouchable players. Of course it all depends on the deal. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Probably ball for me. He has the best skill set that contributes to winning. |

Ball & Ingram are good players but none is a Star in the immediate future. Give a right Star and I'm shipping one of them out (with the needed package) or both for 2 Stars... Again, getting the right player in return... _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team ! |

It would be ball because the organizations is all in and can't have another failure |

Given the CBA, any stud who is on a rookie deal is untouchable. Right now, Kuz, Ball, and BI are as untouchable as can be. |

Ingram. He has the most potential and will fit with other star players |

This is a lot harder to answer than I thought... Ball, Ingram, Kuzma... then there's the always underappreciated Randle
I'd go with Half Baked Half Amazing |

He is showing to be very effective without getting many touches and plays called for him. Lonzo will be good too, but he needs to fix his shot. |

If the question is: you can only keep one... My answer would be (in this order)
1. Ball
2. Ingram
3. Kuzma
4. Randle |
