I loved that show on MTV! The crazy, scripted, skateboarder/security guard odd couple! "People let me tell you about my best friend..."

If we could find a way to put CP3, Durant, LeBron and Anthony Davis around our young core it would do wonders for our record, they are really good complimentary pieces for the talent we have in stock  |

• Top tier, fast twitch athlete
• Great on ball defense
• Good motor, high energy
• Good passer, a cog-type player that gets the ball moving
• Shooting/shooting mechanics must be at least workable and coachable to become a 3&D player
A player like this to play alongside Brandon Ingram would make me drool. |
Josh jackson! |

Yep, it's anyone's guess which of our young guys will be relevant or even be here one year, 2 years or 3 years from now. |
I don't think there is any way zubac Ingram and Russell fade in 2 years time. These guys are legit! |

A two-way sharpshooter with length fits on every team in the league, we're no exception. |
Klay  I wish we had that kind of firepower.
Actually he would do great here away from the warriors. |

Hopefully you're right, but certainly none of them have established themselves at this point. And any of them could easily be a trade chip in the right deal. The future is completely unscripted right now. |

Realistic players I think the Lakers could target:
Trades:
- Clarkson and Houston pick for Danny Green
- Clarkson, Houston pick for Markieff Morris, Kelly Oubre
- Randle, Clarkson, Houston pick for Zach Levine, Pekovic
Free Agents:
- Paul Millsap (He's 32. Would he fit with the core age wise? Probably not)
- Danilo Gallinari
- George Hill
- Ersan Ilyasova
- Patty Mills
- Bojan Bogdanovic
- Thabo Sefolosha
- Brandon Rush |

Anthony Davis.
James Harden.
Dario Saric.
Caris Levert.
Nikola Jokic.
CJ McCollum
PG13.
Goran Dragic.
Aaron Gordon.
WCS.
Eric Bledsoe.
These are guys that I think of that would do well with the current Laker talent, for various reasons.
