Crazy. That single imaginary poster you have boiled all of LG down to just can't make up his mind! |

"It's kind of hard because in the NBA, the way it's built, they want you to flop," Antetokounmpo said of playing physically. "It wants you to be weak, kind of, because sometimes I think when you're strong and you're going through contact, they don't call the foul. But when you're flopping and kind of going into the contact and throwing the ball out, they're just going to call foul, but that's not who I am, that's not what I'm gonna do.
"I'm just gonna try to power through contact. It's going to be ... where if a guy grabs me or pushes me, I've got to show it more, but I think I've done a better job of showing it more so the refs can see that the guys are holding me, pushing me and just being physical."

I thought it had a little bit to do with the $ as well.
Either way, I wish I knew you guys during that time.

The Lakers two most pressing needs are PG's who can create their own and also be good shooters to wing players who can play defense and be reliable from three. There are a couple players out there that I think elevate this team to that next level. One of which that I like very much is:
Lakers trade Kyle Kuzma, Quinn Cook, and future 2nd round pick to the Hornets for Devontae Graham and Miles Bridges
Why Lakers do this? Obvious, it makes them better. Graham is a dynamic play making point guard who has displayed an ability to hit the 3-ball from Curry range throughout the season. Miles Bridges is that athletic wing we would need to put on PG13/Kawhi
Why Hornets do this? Well, a little more difficult to convince them but they get a player in Kuzma that has the potential to really be a key offensive cog in their system. 2nd round pick would be thrown in to sweeten the pot to get them to pull the trigger.
Lakers lineup to close games:
Devontae Graham
Danny Green
Miles Bridges
LeBron James
Anthony Davis
I think that team gets us over the top against any team in the league
***I also realize that Charlotte probably never does this trade in a million years it just sucks to me that 2 players the Lakers can really use are rotting on a team stuck in mediocrity

Hornets have never been more praised in recent years than from uncovering and developing Graham....and he's probably their best player, right? city probably likes him too, exciting young underdog guard.
And Bridges is their lotto pick from 18' ; Jordan has a bad rep with picks, giving up on another one is a bad look for him.
I don't think CHA would do Kuz for Graham even straight up. Graham is better, he plays a more important role in todays NBA |

Feel the same way now as I did then.
I get the Van Exel trade. He was never going to become a role-player to a young punk.
The Jones/Campbell trade I would not have done. Eddie Jones was much more passive than Van Exel. He could've and I believe would've accepted a more supplementary role.
I though West was a little desperate when making the Jones trade ... and it showed because they were awful with Rice until Phil Jackson took over.
Jones wouldve been the perfect Phil Jackson/Triangle guard/SF.

Yeah I know you are probably right, but I don't think it hurts to call MJ and pique his interests on Kuzma. Kuzma for Miles Bridges straight up would be a deal that I love for the Lakers and probably works for the Hornets too. They can use an offensive weapon like Kuz

bridges / kuzma they would prolly do. zero chance on earth they take kuzma and a 2nd for graham. also just wanna say i do like these young talents ur mentioning, but its worth considering that they are probably not ready for a big role on a contending team

PJ Washington is having a good year in Charlotte at PF. Kuzma ain't exactly a need there.

Bridges played some of the best defense i could imagine on Kawhi, in their early season meeting. he was changing Kawhi's shots... other reports of his defense aren't so good, probably his team defense, as he's young... but he's got value for us, decent 3pt shooter too, his offensive skill package is similar to Kuz. But i agree with you that the Lakers would trade for him cuz they wouldn't trust him, too young |

Weird comment. |
Weird stance.
Let’s wait on PG...he/she ghosts us.
Let’s roll it over to 2019 where there are a ton of max types...we whiff and did we even target anyone other than Kawhi and DLo? Did we even offer DLo the max?
Let’s do it all over again 2021...and the only way to is if Bron opts out and outright leaves or takes re-ups to take half.
Our FO is weird. Seems like you need to add a few more to your avatar. |

I dont think the Wiz trade their big 2.
I would think they're waiting for Wall to come back and hope the younger players will be ready to ride with Wall and Beal.

Yeah that was more tongue in cheek. However, it never hurts to ask with these sketchy decision maker teams. Sometimes they just want to get out of the contract.

Suggest Laker trades based on whether you would sign off on them as the other team, not based on a hope that they are dumb as rocks. |
Then do the same for your proposals. The Memphis Josh Jackson proposal would be dumb as rocks from the Lakers perspective tbh. |

i like him as a player but i dont like his youth and inexperience. hes younger than kuzma. we'd be bringing in a 2nd year 21 yr old to an entire new team midway thru the season. coming from irrelevant hornets to the biggest team in the nba in the best city(personal bias) that'll be competing for a championship. its a lot to ask for a young cat and could be a disappointment waiting to happen. if bridges was a 6 year vet id like it.

I get your point and it's a good point, the problem is there are few options out there that make sense that allow us to trade Kuzma for another contract straight up, and Bridges is one of those rare exceptions. You'd be hard pressed to find a vet wing-man that brings to the table what Bridges does and swap him for Kuzma straight up. Actually, it's probably impossible. There are wings out there that have experience like Covington and Crowder, but acquiring them requires a lot of gymnastics to take place by not only our front office, but possibly 3 or 4

I most surely do, sir. Looking at trades equally from both sides is exactly what I do.
How is sending Horton-Tucker, 4 mill cash, Cook, and Daniels for Jackson and a pronise to buyout Iguodala dumb as rocks?
Tell me it's illegal. Tell me the Lakers would lose 5 draft picks as punishment, but don't tell me it's dumb because it's quite the opposite.
I'm more than open to discuss the matter.

One question we should be asking is does AD have the drive to be great?
His decision to go to the Packers game gives me some doubts. |

I disagree with most of what's being said in here..
Call me crazy but I believe that this team can compete with the Bucks, and the Clips in a 7 game series if we get through the playoffs with a healthy roster.
Think of the record we currently have.. with all the supposed deficiencies in our roster. If we did nothing but add Collison we're good, I like our chances.
I like our chances even more if Bron doesn't act like he's scared of Kawhi.
So yea, I don't think we need to trade Kuz, I'd be fine with just marginal improvement from the guard position in regards to playmaking, that happens.. I view us as favorites.. |

Is Kuzma discernible better than PJ Washington?
What would Charlotte's rotation look like with Kuzma minus Bridges?

I find it highly unlikely Kuzma would fetch a younger player with more cost control, and that the Lakers would even do it. "Hey LeBron! Ever heard of Devonte Graham? No?" (And I make that joke knowing Charlotte doesn't do it anyway).
If a player is showing out at 22 or younger and has more years of cost control AND I'm a rebuilding team... Why am I so eager to rush to paying Kuzma with his lower ceiling?
The only trades that make sense for both teams is if it's an older player coming back that LeBron would sign off on. |

Yeah the team with the 2nd best record always wins the Finals. Let's just sit back content with our success and not try to improve the team. Surely nothing will go wrong with exactly one playmaker. |
