Magic Johnson said that the Lakers are 1 superstar piece away from joining the NBA elite group who might he be talking about? |

totally forgot about him.
But I can't end up adding all the stars or else there won't be enough space, so if fans have a different star in mind just post his name,

Wait, what? He said we are one superstar away from being an elite team? Meaning we're competing with Warriors, Cavs, Spurs?
Um. |

Better have prime Wilt or Space Jam MJ as an option for Magic's comment to make sense |

Does anyone here think we're one guy away? Maybe if that guy was Lebron. Adding a star isn't going to magically make us not a horrendous defensive team. Even if we added a Cousins/PG13 in FA, we're still counting on Russell/Ingram/possible pick this year to become all-star caliber players. It's on them. |

I'd say Jimmy Butler. If Cousins was a better rim protector I would have said him.
We'd have a great chance if Jimmy Butler and Andrew Bogut swaps in for Deng and Mosgov. _________________

Jimmy Butler is who I like on that list. I wouldn't give up Russell and Ingram for him, so I highly doubt they'd do it. The others on that list either aren't worth it or too far past their prime to coincide with our young core. |

Melo or Butler since their the most disgruntled players on that list.
Love isnt being shopped.
Boogie has said he's gonna sign the max with the Kings.
Hayward's gonna resign with Utah.
CP3 is the only questionable one, since he has a player-option. But he's 32 soon and dont think he would wanna join a young Lakers core team still trying to find their niche.
Magic stated the "superstar" line in regards to James saying players want to go to San Antiono or Golden State.
I dont think he had a "superstar" in mind. He just stated that meaning the Lakers arent too far away from being a desirable destination again and "a superstar away from competing with the Spurs & Warriors". |

If the Lakers keep their pick.
I could see them offering Randle+ Clarkson + 1st round pick for Cousins this summer. _________________ Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

The fact that he said that should be enough evidence to anyone that he is not qualified to make any personnel decisions.
We are not one superstar away.
LG'ers actually voted? |
