|
|
Lakers are trying to open up capspace to sign 2 FAs. Let's assume PG13 is one of them.
Other big names available in 2018:
LeBron
Cousins
Westbrook
You sign one of those guys. Do you think you are beating GSW? |

Lebron, puncher's chance.
Still get wrecked with anyone else in the league.

| Can we sign 3rd FA if we dump Deng also? |

| Why do we want a 35 year old Lebron with one foot out the door into retirement? He's already got the milage on him of a 40 year old. He's been gassed by quarter 2 in the finals which is why he always disappeared by the 4th quarters. Woulda rather go with cousins. If Lebron comes here it's to focus on his brand and ventures outside of basketball. No thanks |

| If we got Lebron, we'd have a shot, provided Lonzo is really good and Ingram blossoms in to a star. They'd be coming off 2 straight championships and 5 straight finals. Maybe they'd be tired (then again, so would LeBron) |

If we stretch Deng and get rid of all other stupid contracts is this possible regarding salary cap? |

2018 Plan:
Watch Paul George leave for the Houston Rockets
Watch D'Angelo Russell polish his Most Improved Player award as a star for the Nets.
Watch the Lakers not have a pick in the upcoming draft and land no free agents.
Watch the Lakers have to fill the void of "Cap space" with long contracts for veterans just like they had to for Mozgov and Deng
Watch the rebuild process have to start all over again.
Watch Luke Walton get fired 2-3 years into that for "Not making the team better." despite the fact he had his direction sabotaged one year in.
Watch Magic and Pelinka get fired
Watch Jeanie get voted off
Watch Jesse take over
Watch the Lakers start to have to rebuild proper again
Watch the year be 2025.
Cry that it all could have been avoided in the summer of 2017 when all they had to do was just wait.

Dumbest thing the Lakers could do is confirm this plan with the trade today. So freaking stupid to do the dump without PG13 trade agreed to first. If I'm the Pacers, I know how important Paul George is to us, and how we plan to use him to entice Lebron or whoever.
No wonder Magic starting shopping the #2, he was getting squeezed already. I don't see how a deal gets done now without more assets.
Schooled. Game. Set. Match. |

I'm not holding my breath for any of those things to happen. But it's possible I guess |

All of that was known prior to the trade. It's the worst kept secret around the league. |

I'm hoping it's Cousins, not the other ones
Didnt know westbrook was one but he's undoubtedly signing the supermax so I don't think he's realistic

Lakers FO thought Russell's antics were bad. Imagine what cousins would do to them.

Yup. This is one of the most stupid decision the Lakers could have made. And it will start the downfall of the Magic/Pelinka regime. |
