Maybe you are right, and I'm not gonna argue, I just think Lakers are always up to something cause of there brand and there determined continuation of success...

Here is the reality that you continue to ignore:
* They owe some draft picks, so they are somewhat limited in the options available to do major trades.
* The young players (Black, Ingram, Clarkson, Nance, Russell, Brown etc) have limited experience
* The veterans such as Deng, Lou, Mozgov, Calderon and Huertas aren't stars.
* Nick Young could be stretch waived before training camp.
The Brand and determined continuation of success aren't things that Mitch can add to a trade when the other team asks for his best offer for a star player. |

If the Lakers are going to make another trade I doubt that it will be for a player that has a significant impact on the court. I could see them keeping their options open in case a situation develops in which, for whatever reason, a team wants to dump a contract. Much like what they did in the Calderon deal. They didn't trade for Calderon, they traded for his expiring contract and the draft picks that came with him. |

they did the same thing with Jeremy Lin from Houston and Indiana with Hibbert to a lesser degree. |
