Thanks emp.
I think if we make 1 more move re: Wade? Then we will be more of a playoff team. |

I hear you... PLAYOFFS!!!
Assuming it all comes together for Los Angeles, this season still has many ifs. But if there are seven teams clearly better than in the West, there remains a chance that seven are worse. |

They won't rush to trade Randle, Clarkson isn't enough for Chicago to take Deng so....??? _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

IG, my man, have you watched Wade recently? We would be lucky if he added 1 win. He's a declining vet. 40+ wins will be on the shoulders of young core + Lopez/KCP. The current DWade won't add much. |

He's a upgrade over Clarkson, even at his age and I also think the Bulls system that Hoiberg was running did not fit Wade and he still ended up putting up 18PPG, also you are forgetting the Lonzo Ball effect he will without a doubt make Wade look like a all star during some games. |

Clarkson and Kuzma might have a chance of getting rid of Deng. |

I only give up Kuzma if we end up getting Wade + Robin Lopez. |

Got any sense rather we will engage in trade talks involving Wade or is he trying to go back to Miami or Cleveland to play with LeBron? |

Hopefully both sides start talking, getting Wade makes the most sense if LeBron is coming. |

If the Lakers don't want to move Randle - and want more than just an aging vet for Clarkson - and the Bulls don't want Deng -- what are you looking for? _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

Always can end up getting another team involved for example, I just read that the Sixers are asking on Okafor around the league maybe something like..
Wade to LA
Nance / Okafor / Deng / Bayless / picks to Chicago
Clarkson to Philly |

WOW - dude - you've got to be kidding.
They're not trading Kuzma - Nance for Deng
That's really, really, really far off from what the Lakers would do _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |

I'm just looking at different scenarios, I believe that Pelinka can convince Chicago to take on a cheap package. |
