IT TAKE A GRAM OF KU TO BALL WIT HART - THE OFFICIAL 2018 LAKERS OFFSEASON THREAD

[Rekkapryde]

I rather just stand pat this season. Buyout Deng next summer and go into FA with 2 max spots available.

Add Dwight. Kawhi coming but imagine if we can steal Klay from GS as well

I don't see Klay leaving.

I'm still perplexed that Magic didn't take a flyer on Boogie for a year. I don't understand this.

I think everyone needs to step back and realize that our best shooters (and players) last season were our kids. People are sleeping on Kuzma and Ingram (two players with less than two years of experience). Both averaged 16 ppg on good efficiency without a superstar taking pressure off of them. With Randle gone now, I wouldn’t be surprised if both of them jump to over 20 ppg with all of the playmakers on this team.

People are acting like it’s just Lebron and some bums, but I’ve been saying all year Kuzma and Ingram are on the same level as Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, they just have less playoff experience and had tougher circumstances.

The growth of our core will be the key...

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

Next season (19-20), he'll be an expiring deal so that's the time when he'll be moved.

I know, that’s what I said

Reports say he had a interview going up with the Lakers and Pelicans

 

[Captain Crunch]

Don’t trade for Kawhi, try to sign him next year and trade for AD as well.

 

[Torrential]

i wish dwight didnt have a cancerous personality. he's still a good defender

hes gonna cause friction in that locker room without a doubt. him and rondo will not work

It sounds like Boogie decided that if he isn’t getting a max and/or long term offer than he might as well take a one year paycut to get a ring under no pressure. His people reached out to the Warriors first. It was a middle finger to rest of the league.

So because Magic and others didn't offer him something crazy, he said fukk it and took the MLE from the Warriors? I mean, I guess.....

That's the plan

Davis
Lebron
Leonard
Hart
Lillard

Kuzma and BI with a good coach, Luke ain't it, would be beasting by now. Even better than they have been so far. Luke is on the hot seat regardless.

Reading he wants to play with Bron though.... :

 

[Rekkapryde]

These clown substitutes on First Take talking about Bron getting a statue if he wins a ship in LA?

 

[Malik1time]

I'm not a lakers fan at all(Miami over everything) but yea boogie sign with gsw(and will win most likely) but i think summer 2019 lakers gonna be crazy good I would get dwight this year get Kawhi for free without losing BI/Kuzma
Im atill sticking with my prediction that lakers will win 2 rings(not this year but after)

Luke was better last year then he was his first season so we can only hope for more progress there... but yes you’re probably right. Not many coaches can handle Lebron, Lance, and Rondo at the same time combined with Lavar and the national media circus.

 

[The_Unchosen_One]

We don't have the assets for an AD trade...


Boston's been trying on that one
