Ballers Wanna Ball, Rollers Wanna Roll, But We're Taking All--The Official 2017-2018 Lakers Thread

[Newzz]

if this is the case they need to give up on the 2 max FA plan right now and look to just bring in either Boogie or PG. I feel a dumb trade coming soon...(btw this makes the DLO trade look even dumber. brook has been horrible and KCP aint the answer period, although he has been clutch at times)

How...we got the best player out the deal


Kyle Kuzma > D'Angelo Russell...and its not even a question.


Plus we got rid of Mozgov's contract for a 1 year rental of Brook Lopez...and then we free up that cap space in the summer.


We won that deal.

If the Noel/Randle stuff is true, I'd do that. The team has enough guys who want to shoot. They wouldn't miss a beat if that trade went through.

Yeah I'd love to get Noel instead of Randle. Defensively he can do what Randle has been doing but add shot blocking along with it. It would give the Lakers to be able to switch everything. Randle has been killing it but I think they could easily replace his scoring. My only problem with it is that Noel is an unrestricted free agent this season. I'd rather they trade Randle for an asset. Like I've said before on here keeping Randle as a backup plan in case they don't sign anybody is my preference.

D'Lo has bad knees so they were pretty smart to trade him before he had to get surgery which would tank his value.

If we're being honest there really isnt much kuzma can do that russell cant. People forget russell had those 40 point outburst as well. But thats besides the point...we could have BOTH.

You you can never have too much talent. And ppl forget that Kuzma would've been there at the 28th pick the team already had.

They’re hardly outbursts for Kuzma, he does it regularly. Kuzma is as good or better than d’angelo Russell right now, just wait for 2 years
And if they’re the same player on offence, you taking the one that’s 6’5” or 6’9”? Kuzma is better and it’s not that close

Ingram out tonight with quad issues.

Boogie would kill our chemistry. PG is a great fit but Deng needs to fukk off now.

Not that close?..you serious, Russell was getting 20/5/5 in like 28mpg before he had surgery. Im saying we could have both of these guys. DLo can shoot the rock and would really solve our shooting issues

Lonzo
DLo
BI
Kuz
Nance/Randle

That wouldve been nasty.

Im hoping we can pick up PG and plug him at the 2 to ease the pain.
