What happens if you don’t get kawhi or the TOP of the top free agents? ...I would look at Beal and kemba walker or jimmy butler as well ...

What happens if we do get Kawhi or the TOP of the free agents ? ...I would look at some decent, cheap free agents to fill in the holes.

See how easy that was? We’re just on different sides of the “what if” discussion.

Can we seriously not afford a max? Wtf? We NEED a 3rd star player as an insurance policy cause as we saw last year, bron or Ad with minimum type guys is not enough to even make the playoffs. God forbid AD or bron get hurt but it wouldnt be a shocker, bron 34 and ad is injury prone, we need that insurance policy 3rd player imo. Wasnt the plan always AD plus another star, if we cant sign a Kawhi or kyrie cause of how this trade was executed, pelinka should be fired on the spot. That's inexcusable imo.

LA should focus on building quality depth. That is how Toronto beat GS. Forget about bringing in a 3rd max player. What LA should do is

Sign D.Collison, Beverly or T.Rozier 3 yr 18m (6m per)
Sign B.Lopez or D.Cousins 3 yr 18m (6m per)
Sign D.Green,JJ Riddikk or S.Curry 3 yr 18m (6m per)
Sign Mirotic 3 yr 18m (6m per)
Sign Ariza or M.Scott to the MLE
Sign T.Gibson to the Vet minimum

All 3 yr deals would have a 3rd yr player option. All players signing would have 4 incentives to sign with the Lakers:

* Playing time, especially at the PG,SG and C positions
* Playing for a title contender
* Playing in LA
* The potential to sign for a bigger contract in 2 years.



G- Collison/Rozier/ Beverly
G- Green/Reddikk/Curry
C- Lopez/Cousins
F- Davis
F- James
6- Kuzma
7- Ariza
8- Caruso
9- Mirotic
10- Gibson

LA would still have the option of keeping KCP, Bullock, Rondo or McGee

They'd also have the option of adding 1 or 2 players before the trade deadline and during the waiver period.

Toronto beat Golden State cause KD was hurt

I agree with your thought process though on the Laker roster
