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

[ALonelyDad]

Kawhi going to a bigger market to expand his portfolio is gonna be squandered useless if lebron and George join him. And with the ball brothers

woj is saying 5 different things..Kawhi wants a bigger brand but Kawhi also doesnt want to the limelight..I cant wait till this FA is over

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Kobe always had great lift on his jumpers

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

I don't want to trade our young boys for anyone. I prefer to let them grow and wait for Claw next season.

Woj was on SC saying if Kawhi joins the Lakers and it gets to become a super team with LeBron/PG, Kawhi’s not really looking for that because he has not enjoyed being in the spotlight and the expectations that comes with playing for the Lakers, which is why his group has the Clippers as part of his discussion.



But that doesn't make sense though. He’d be the main focus with the Clips but if he comes to LA he can hide behind the attention that Lebron and PG seek.

yeah even on the Clips he'll have a lot of spotlight on him. Really he should jsut stop being a little bih about it.....let Bron and PG entertain all the media attention and he can just lay in the cut and do his job. You can play in LA and still be low key, its not a big deal.

but if he really wants to avoid being famous at all costs, then he should stop complaining about his shoe deal offers being low. can't have it both ways

Exactly. Seems like Woj is just giving his opinion on the matter.

 

[CantStop]

Kawhi might as well stay in San Antonio if he’s considering the Clippers.

Phoenix Suns will not deal No. 1 pick for Kawhi Leonard

Phoenix could be involved in a Leonard deal, however, as a third team facilitator. Leonard reportedly has expressed interest in playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Lakers have enough young assets to potentially satisfy the Spurs. Phoenix could get involved by taking Luol Deng’s contract off the Lakers’ hands – he has two years and $36 million left on his deal – in exchange for one of Los Angeles’ young players. Say, for example, point guard Lonzo Ball.

Why would we trade both Zo & Ingram when before only one was required.

Why would we trade both Zo & Ingram when before only one was required.

Spurs will probably want 2 of our 3 main young guys. I doubt they'd take just 1. But we would also want them to take Deng which they might not want. So instead they get 1 young guy and the Suns get the other, and we get rid of Deng

Getting rid of the Deng contract is key to a lot of this. But if the Spurs will take somethng like Ingram/Hart/Deng im cool with that

So you'd rather keep Zo ove BI?

Also I thought we just needed to cut Deng & stretch his payout years.

nah i rather keep BI but i think the Spurs would value BI over Zo but who knows

and i think if we want all 3 Kawhi/Bron/PG then Deng would need to be traded instead of stretched......not 100% on that though

Been reading a lot of messages boards and the talking heads on BSPN and ppl keep saying Pop won't trade with a Western conference team, won't help build a super team, etc. I feel like at the end of the day the team should accept the best trade offer on the table. Pretty sure they won't pass on a nice deal from a Western confrence team just out of spite.

Might have to throw in Kuzma and the 2018 pick


Aldrige/Gasol
Kuzma/Anderson
Ingram/Gay
Hart/Green
Murray /Mills


Also, the Spurs will be back in the WC finals in 2 years with that roster.
