:patrice:I guess you could switch Ingraham with hart and the deal would still be beneficial for both parties but I can't see what the Pelicans would want with Lonzo.
There's been a bunch of reports out saying Pelicans want Lonzo. Don't ask me to cosign that, I'm just the messenger.

Report: Pelicans view Lonzo Ball as starting PG, potential star
New Orleans Pelicans are Very Interested in Adding Lonzo Ball in Lakers Trade
Pelicans see Lonzo Ball as ‘a key part’ of any Anthony Davis trade package with Lakers, but Ball would prefer to be sent to Chicago or New York
Lakers Trade Rumors: Pelicans 'really like' Lonzo Ball, think he would benefit from change of scenery
Anthony Davis trade rumors: Pelicans targeting Lakers' Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, and Ivica Zubac

Personally, I think if the Lakers are able to get away with sending them Lonzo, Kuzma, KCP, Hart, Mo, and draft picks, that would be a best case scenario for them. But I can see an argument for switching BI for Kuz.



wow look at Woj being a bytch for the pelicians wow
This is Woj's entire career. He plays favorites for teams that give him info and launches petty attacks at the ones that don't give him info. People who :cape: for him are dumb as hell, who cares if he releases draft picks 1 minute early when anything he releases that actually matters can't be trusted because you never know whether it's just a ploy or a beef?


:mjlol: at some of the posters in this thread taking butthurt Woj posts at face value.

Huh? The Pelicans have expressed interest in all of those guys. It's the Laker fans who are talking about keeping Ball and Ingram out of the deal.





You're correct that that's what they did in Miami, and what happened?

Year 1: Massive holes in the lineup (no point guard, no center, no shooting) cost them a title.
Year 2: Lineup is still thin, then only survive against a not-that-strong Boston lineup when LeBron goes super saiyon in Game 6. Against any ultra-elite team (like Spurs 2013/2014) they would have lost.
Year 3: They finally have a "complete" lineup, even though they're still relying on suspect pieces like Chalmers/Cole as their shooting guard duo and the resurrected body of Chris Anderson as their only real center. The best team they put together.
Year 4: Their pieces begin to age out, they don't have enough anymore.

The same thing is in danger of happening this time around. If you play games like, "Let's just get three players and figure out the rest later", then that's a recipe for disaster. Having a complete lineup with no holes in it is the #1 factor, having the right amount of "stars" should be secondary. Look at Golden State 2015, San Antonio 2014, Dallas 2011, Los Angeles 2009 and 2010, etc.
:gucci:nikka they went to 4 finals and won 2 championships.... Please do not try to spin that as some sort of L.... If Magic could get those results he'd be ecstatic....

That was best case scenario and it barely worked only by LeBron putting forth all-time games. And even with LeBron playing at GOAT level they only won because they successfully convert Bosh to a center, because Chalmers played just good enough to be a competent point, and because they later got huge pick-ups out of Shane Battier, Ray Allen, and Chris Anderson.

You could also end up 2004 Lakers or 2013 Lakers status.

You need those sorts of competent sidekicks at least 7-8 deep to win in the NBA right now. Let's say the Lakers have Bron and AD and then sign a big point guard for $30 million....who are their shooters? Who are their other bigs? Who is playing perimeter defense? They'll have a midlevel exception, an every-other year exception, and veteran mins to work with. Who in the league is willing to sign for those right now that would make a difference?

All I'm saying here is that you make the deals that put you in the best position. Just saying, "get three guys and fukk the rest of your lineup" is NOT the best position. If you can possibly keep any two out of Ingram, Kuzma, and Zubac to be cheap rotation pieces who fill out your roster, you do that.

but why are trade offers being leaked? doesn't that ruin leverage?
Who's leaking them and why



Michael Beasely and Rondo?

:laff:


Lakers embarrassing themselves:mjlol:

Kanter, Frank, Knox and this year's pick is superior than their trash

I wouldn't give up E'Twaun for this :picard:

That's one of them "Your trade offer has been declined. Do you want to override this decision and force the trade?" offers

Lol Magic can’t be serious

Come on now....Lakers are playing fukking games. They aren't all in on this AD shyt. What kind of offer is that :picard:

RONDO :gucci:

BEASLEY :gucci:

1ST ROUND PICK THAT PROB WOULD BE 25+ :gucci:

Some of ya'all are getting played. Woj has admitted now that he knows of other offers from the Lakers too, he's only released the worst one in an attempt to smear.

You're writting way too much unnecessary juelzinng right now dawg.... The Heat succeeded with their formula and proved it can work... Magic would be ecstatic to emulate that plan..... Period
