|
|
Keepers:
Ball - love his length - needs to improve j of course
Hart - solid and can start at the 2
Kuzma - solid offensive player ...will get better. (reminds me of a young robert horry)
Zubac -- he's actually getting better. solid backup for the price.
Thomas Bryant - maybe back as well.
________________________________________________
If we do a sign and trade for Lebron, who do we give up -- Brandon Ingram or Julius Randle? Do we have to part with either one? (someone explains this cap situation to me if you feel like it)
This is a hard one for me because Ingram length on Kevin Durant is just a joy to watch. However, in the long run (because of BI injury-prone body and overall impact on the game) I think Julius Randle is more valuable...no matter how many detractors he has.
However, if it fits caps wise (i would prefer we keep Randle)...his ability to score down-low and just finish strong, I love it. I think he'll definitely be an asset to this team.
Imagine a roster of:
Lonzo Ball
Paul George
Lebron James
Julius Randle
Thomas Bryant or
Ivica Zubac
Then you have a bench of:
Josh Hart
Kyle Kuzma
We could then use BI and Deng to add quality bench players or fill holes in our starting 5.
What say you?
Btw, I'm not saying we should just get rid of BI, but right now, my preference is to keep Randle if it comes down to it. What do you guys say though, this whole thing is curious to me. |

Is Randle tradeable as a RFA?
I think Maginka's work is ordered thusly:
1 - Do everything you can to sign LeBron.
2 - Do everything you can to sign George
3 - Do everything you can to move Deng for picks
4 - Sign Randle
If they accomplish those four things, this will be one of the greatest offseasons ever (yes, I know what happened on July 9, 1968, on June 16, 1975, on draft day, 1979 and in the summer of 1996).
Even if they just do the first 2, they then set themselves up to then move Deng the following season and go after Klay Thompson or Kawhi Leonard. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

1 of T.Bryant/Zu (dependant on if we need the cap space and who we draft) _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.' Whatever, pow, three. I love the Zen, though." |

There is no need to trade BI, and he will end the discussion of whether he's more valuable than Randle this season. Keep everyone if you can! If not, trade Randle with Deng. |

Lonzo, Randle and Kuz are at the top of the list for me because they would really complement Lebron and PG13 well. I'd love to hold onto Hart as well. I love how much BI improved this past season, but he's the most expendable to me because he replicates much of what Lebron and PG13 already do at a higher level. |

Not happening. If anyone is traded to sweeten the Deng deal it's Hart plus this years/future picks. |

I hope youre right man! i love both players. I guess it's more of a fear of mine that its something theyll do. And i have a feeling it would be BI cause i think Kuzma is beloved by the FO. I hope im wrong tho. Love those guys |

I might be in the minority here but I think that I'd actually prefer to keep Kuz and BI over Lonzo. I think that trading Lonzo could give us the same return that trading both BI/Kuz would.
Lonzo just seems too risky with how many injuries he has/his shot/plus the whole Lavar thing. _________________ one dog goes that way the other dog goes the other way |

while i agree, i think trading lonzo this early would be media nightmare for magic. essentially magic would have messed up on his first lottery pick. Also imagine how bad hell look after he spewed all that blasphemy at his press conference saying dont break too many of my records lol |

I agree with all of this, but 1) the cost of moving Deng to keep Randle will be very high, and 2) having George and Lebron could help supress Ingram's value on his second contract when he could provide the greatest impact per dollar after Lebron retires and George slows down. _________________ Under New Management |

Good points. I was just expressing who I value most alongside Lebron and PG13. |

Ball is the guy the Lakers overpay? I thought DLo was supposed to be their Wiggins and he gone before he got paid. _________________ Under New Management |

Ideally, I'd like to keep all our young guys, but if a 3rd star becomes available (i.e. Kawhi), then I'd understand it if the Lakers moved some young pieces to make it happen. |

Ideally, keep everybody. But lets take our homer head out our ass and face the reality that we may have to give up something to get something. If we are able to commit highway robbery and get to keep everybody, then great. But realistically, we are probably going to have to part with a young player in order to dump Deng. Personally, i would rather include Hart in a deal to dump Deng, but I think we will end up dealing Ingram, but we will get an additional asset back. |
