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

[10bandz]

None of us really wanted him here but more like we’ve come to terms with it. And who knew Kawhi would even be available.

I can see where you’re coming from totally, but I also don’t see anything wrong with putting out chips on the table too. What if we stay put and make small moves, what happens if Ingram isn’t as good as we thought? What if Kuz really is Clarkson Jr?

Tbh, as much as I love our youth movement none of kids have shown enough to say any of them are untouchable. It’s for that reason that I personally don’t mind making moves with the roster to get back into contention. But we definitely can’t let the spurs clean us out, there’s no reason for the front office to act desperate because if Bron or any other FAs don’t want to come we can stand pat with our movement and continue the rebuild. Let’s just get the right deal if we gon make one.

Agree with all this. I love our young guys but I've noticed a lot of Laker fans have gotten pretty attached to them. Maybe because we've never really gone through an extended rebuilding period like this before, so maybe people grew to appreciate the process of becoming a good team again. So a lot of folks want us to keep the youth movement and see what comes of it. I see that part but at the end of the day, I'm trying to see the Lakers win. And none of the young guys are guaranteed super stars. I dont want to trade the farm for Kawhi but im definitely not in the "wait until 2019" camp. Too much can change between now and then.

keep zu but get rid of bryant?

We're probably going to use Zubac as part of a trade, Pop loves his euro players doesn't he?

Damn, Thomas Bryant better not turn into a beast

Kawhi is the closest thing to Bean reborn in the league right now....both cause of his age and the likelihood that he's not as much of a shameless ringchasing whore as Bron is, he's the real treasure of this summer if he can actually be acquired...not huge on pg13...but having Kawhi long-term is key...Bron will probably 1 plus 1us and quit to go run play with Anthony Davis in New York or some wild shyt in a couple years after losing to the dubbs again...but him signing puts the Lakers back in the proper place as the glamour team

Let’s keep it real Thomas Bryant sucks, can’t defend a lick and undersized.

They had Thomas Bryant on the cover of the Lakers magazine for March/April too when I went to the game end of the year against the Spurs. It was pretty weird having a Bryant on our team not named Kobe

 

[Fuzzy_Dunlap]

Are they keeping IT?

Man, I still think PG-13 comes to LA.

That's what it seems like.

Bron Bron made his first decision July 10, the second July 12. We'll see if he does it a bit quicker this time

faster he moves the more pressure is applied to the spurs
