Golliver goes to a lot of Laker games and does good work. I'm not dissing him at all. If you listened to the podcast, he was pretty dismissive of the idea, saying it was based on like "6 ifs" in the first paragraph.
But this is content that editors will slap a big "OMG ANTHONY DAVIS TO THE LAKERS?!?!?" on for the #clicks.
Yep. First reply from Golliver.
Anyone who read it would get the feeling that he had to play dumb to entertain the idea.
actually, his line about "My first reaction would be there’s like six ifs in one paragraph" was silly.....the whole premise is built upon if the Lakers sign Lebron and George....that's it. There is an argument that they would be able to put together the best package to acquire Davis. It is right there in front of you.

another example....when you go at Omar.....he is going to poke and prod you.....then dissect every syllable that you type.....pick little parts of it away until it is now so foggy, nobody even notices the primary point you tried to make.

My man here has it it all figured out.
LOL. This coming from a poster...I'm not going to go there.
so lg humor ...

Thanks for the post from Larry. The way he puts it we need to take Lebron off the list. I would go for PG, resign Randle for starters. Maybe bring back Brook KCP or IT. Save enough cap space for 1 max in 2019.
agreed,that to me is the best way forward. The young core is really starting to bloom, add PG13 and we are a playoff team next year. In 2019 we can add another max, maybe Klay.
By my math, only way possible for that plan unless Randle signs for dirt cheap would be to unload Deng in a straight deal, which would cost picks or a young player.
Trading Deng in the summer of 2019 would be a lot easier. Maybe it would take our 2019 1st rounder alone.

maybe....but the pages of discussion about Payton is what caused be to notice the similarity....and plus, you know if it goes in that thread....the usual "Lonzo hater" bs will try to deflect from the comparison....it's already pulling some of those guys into this thread.

We don't have to drag him anywhere. He can stay at home and get fat for all we care. We are not stretching him this off season if there's no need to.

Is that a playoff squad? I'm not convinced. It will really depend on development.
Just adding PG alone makes this a playoff team. Adding IT (healthy) we'll be top 5 in the west.
Sign another max in 2019 and you are top 2/3 team (final seeding depends if we sign Kawahi)
I think even haters would admit that team makes the playoffs.
Man some of you have low expectations...
With Kawhi and PG? Of course. But with the team I outlined earlier I'm not sure. If Lonzo can stay healthy and keeps improving + BI takes another step + IT regains his form then sure. But without knowing those things I think that squad is in the 7-10 range. _________________ one dog goes that way the other dog goes the other way

Make no mistake though, there's a 100% chance that Anthony Davis gets linked to the Lakers time and time again over the next few years, because clicks.
If you look at basketball media through the lens of "what stories will generate the most interest" rather than "what is the truth" then everything makes a lot more sense. If it doesn't come from Ramona, Woj, Shams, or a couple of other people, it's probably not that well sourced.
GT what's your opinion on whether we are a playoff team with the same roster + PG? _________________ one dog goes that way the other dog goes the other way

There are health/chemistry variables involved but I'd say we'd have a decent chance making it even without PG or IT... you add PG it puts us into mid playoff rungs... you add a happy IT and a rim protector then you are looking at a dark horse contender. We already are a .500 team if you take away Lonzo's injury issues. It's telling that we can beat most good teams (the last hurdle we need to overcome is Minny) but lose to terrible teams... a lot will come from the maturing of the youngsters as well as our young coach.
