I really want Zion in a Laker uniform


If we lost every game for the rest of the season, we still wouldn't have much chance of getting Zion. Even the worst team in the league only has a 14% chance.

well thats the beauty of the odds this year... dont have to tank down to a bottom feeder team to get decent odds as its all a crapshoot once you are in the bottom 10. Lakers are only a few games away from that sweet spot bottom 7-8 positions.

Welp, Rui Hachimura or Bol Bol might be the biggest offseason addition for the Lakers coming up at this stage.

Might as well, we aren't doing anything in the playoffs with Puke at the helm. He's gonna get so badly outcoached if we make it.

Making the playoffs increases the trade value of the young guns

not by much if they are putting up good stats either way
and missing playoffs increases value of draft pick and can potentially be our most valuable asset to trade

Lakers gunna go 22-4 in last 26 games to make 3rd seed. Lebron gunna go super sayan mode and demolish the tank to carry us to the WCF.

You heard it here first.

Haven't you heard.... Tatum and Brown are the second coming of Jordan and Dr. J...

... all because of last years playoff run.

Rui, Nassir, Coby White, Langford, Sekou....

We have a chance to add a nice prospect if we fall in the standings

Maybe New Orleans told Magic... get your pick down to lottery level and we'll talk in the summer.

So he traded away Zu and Svi to do some lowkey tanking.

The only thing that would piss me off more than trading away the youth this summer... is trading away the youth plus a lotto pick.

well based on what we saw what we saw yesterday in return for SVi and Zu, I think this just about makes the most sense.

Tank away!!

Bingo -- more exposure increases value particularly in high profile games like the playoffs

That is my take as well....because the trade really does not make sense.

ehh getting Reggie Bullocks for Svi who clueless Luke was not even playing is clearly not a tanking move.

I was mostly joking... but I am legitimately worried that having a lotto pick makes us give up all of what's left of the kids plus picks for AD.

It would allow the Pelicans to save face too... as they could say... Well, now that it's a lotto pick... we can justify the trade... see what good negotiators we are?

When both sides were equally dumb.

I can't believe that Svi and Zu were so critical to our success that losing them entails tanking.
