LA gonna get SOMEBODY, the league aint just gonna have the nikka that controls damn near all the ratings in the sport sitting at home after the first round cause bum ass Hart and Kuzma cant eat without Zo baby feeding them while boring ass James Brown hairline PG-13 and WWE Evolution GSW battling it out in the WCF. Lets be REALISTIC for a second. The NBA gotta be looking at their future right now, NYK probably getting KD and Zion, thats one market covered. You got Dallas back fukking around, you got Boston still cacing it up, you got Milwaukee, you got all these young teams ready to go.
why would the NBA allow AD to go to teams already primed to make a run without him and allow the Lakers to literally implode?
Magic lookin sus out here, you trade DLO to draft Ball and 2 years later you looking to trade a lottery pick and traded a lottery pick.. Ingram another lottery pick smh
How much of a dumb ass can you be? Holy shyt
Magic is definitely on pace to be one of the worst scouters/decision makers of talent in my time of living, imagine if they keep Brook (no reason not to) and Randle. Lets say you butter Randle up to come back on a slightly less contract than he'd get anywhere else. That gives you those two instead of Beasley and Chandler, I'd guess. Julius's value there would allow you take off at least Zubac and a pick probably. If not more. I know they wanted to clear long term space, but it was very evident to everyone, even Magic, they were gonna need as many young assets as possible to flip this season
DLO woulda never been shyt with Lakers development staff and the way their offense runs, but in a hypothetical, what him and Zo lack, the other makes up for IMO. It also gives them a consistent threat at the 2 position, something they still dont have ~50 games into the season.
