First off, the lakers didn’t “strike out” on anything. DMC had a devasting injury and PG is happy playing with 2 HOF players. Moving DLO and Mos was a move to create flexibility with 2 max players being the goal obviously. With that looking unlikely there are moves we can make to improve based on our vision as a team.
Second, your plan is horrible. We let guys like lou and nick and even DLO go because they don’t fit into our philosophy. We want to run and play D. Hart, KCP, Ball...all moves toward that end. Lou is the ultimate chucker who is having An amazing year, but he didn’t and doesn’t fit on a winning team. Why do you think Houston traded him?
If no superstars come, players that’s fit with our philosophy
- FA that fit....Avery Bradley, Nerlens Noel
- RFAs that fit....Capela, Marcus Smart
Those are the type of guys that would excel in our system.

Lakers strike out on Lebron Boogie and Paul. Build a playoff team with the left over free agents.
Lakers have 51 million in salary cap is expected to be 107 million.
My plan is :
Dewayne Dedmon 9ppg 7.8rpg 36% 3pt ..9bpg 1.4apg in 23 mpg 7 ft Mobile Center who blocks shots and shoot 3s
3 years 35 mill 2nd Year players option.
Rodney Hood 16ppg 38%3pt
One year 15 mill leaving the door open to pursue a max player like Kawhi in 2019
Lou Williams you already know what he brings to the table. 3 years 40 mill 3 year team option
Lakers Starting lineup
Dedmon Kuzma Ingram Hood Ball
Second unit
Randle Nance Hart Clarkson Lou
I told you on another thread that this would be a good plan.
Don't get the hate on LouWill... he continues to get his on lousy teams... even if he declined a little, how much better would he be on a future offensive power house with Kuzma, Ingram, Randle, Clarkson and Ball feeding everyone.
Hell, if he just taught Ingram how to draw fouls it would be worth 40 million.
Hood is a good shooter, Dedmon is a good defender. Both fill key needs
If we know for a fact Klay wants to come back, I'd go for the reunion with Love in a heartbeat... but this also is a nice achievable plan if some of the elites really don't want to come here.

Hilarious Lou is having his best season and he was traded because they wa Ted Chris Paul the same way we traded Pau and Odom for him. Nerlem is always injured can't shoot 3s and was innthe dog house in Dallas before the injury. Marcus doesn't fit and a very Bradley is having a down year so your plan stinks. You want to invest in a rapist and injury prone center and a guy who can't control his temper and makes bone head plays as often as he plays good plays.

Oh, no. If the Lakers do not sign two max free agents, it's a strikeout. We let Russell go for an expiring contract and a late first round draft pick. If the cap space from the expiring contract turns into nothing, then the trade was a failure, if not an outright disaster. The fact that the draft pick turned into Kuzma would ease the pain, but the reality is that we could have traded Russell for that draft pick (or better) plus value.
The ideas in this thread illustrate why this would be a problem. Let's assume that Cousins and George are out of the picture and that Lebron does not come here. The options are (1) blow money on second or third rate players (which Socal accurately calls "Mozdeng 2.0"), or (2) basically tank for another year and hope for the best. Option (2) is unthinkable for Magic and Jeanie.
But there is actually an option (3) that I think is more likely: Blow our young assets in a trade for an established star. We'd get fleeced because every other GM in the league knows that Magic and Jeanie are going to get crucified if the team doesn't make a big, splashy move after all of Magic's big talk and after Jeanie fired her brother because he couldn't make fast progress. This is the scenario that scares me. Think of it as a choice between Mozdeng 2.0 and Isiah Thomas 2.0.
