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

[I AM WARHOL]

If we got PG and Lebron we wouldn't be likely to beat the Warriors any time soon.

The goal is be competitive while the young talent develops (hopefully) into all star caliber players. If everything breaks right the youngins will enter their prime just as the older guys are winding down.

If the Lakers are competitive it'll be easier to build a team via free agency and if our young players pan out they can be more viable trade pieces.

This team is not looking to win it all in the next 3 years. I think the rumors of Magic wanting to get George and Lebron are bullshyt.

Agree with everything except the bolded. Magic 100% wants LeBron and George. Dudes not even being clever with it.

yeah Magic thinks he can get 2 max FA's because he's a charming and personable guy

We'll see if it works. If Bron comes here though its not because of Magic. I hear rumors playing in LA is apart of his Space Jam 2 deal

Realistically even if we get PG and Russ, we ain't winning a ship as long as Steph KD and them boys exist. Will be fun to watch tho

That shyt ain't lasting past 2 years , their luxury tax is gonna be outrageous

Word on the street is Phoenix is looking for salary dumps and young players......Wonder if they'd take on Deng if we threw in Clarkson and a few picks....

We cut Tarik Black

They didn't want to pay him the $6 million he would have been owed come the 4th, got a bit of cap relief to sign someone to a one year deal. Plus it's not like he was going to get a ton of playing time with Kuzma coming in and Zubac getting more minutes this upcoming season.

That would be a come up. I'd have to give Magic his props if he could fix this cap space nuclear winter that cokehead and mitch left behind.

But not by giving up future 1st round picks. We went through that debacle already. It's why we don't have our pick in 18.

Who said anything about a future 1st? Also, it's not like we can't buy a pick if absolutely necessary.

I'd take Tony Allen for a year. Would be great for the young guys to learn from his defense and overall intensity.

We have too many bigs on this team, there was no way he was going to make it. Sad to see him go

 

[Hater]

I just wanna be back in the playoffs

Lakers meeting with Dion, dude would be perfect. We can offer him a JJ Redikk type of contract. Need a SG badly
