Laker Fans: Target a player to help you defend the title next season

[Kairi Irving]

Bradley Beal coming too.

I have a feeling Draymond will end up a Laker in the future

Damn you cats forgot the NBA has a salary cap....

Nah I'm forgetting about some players contracts

Do the Lakers have any cap space and a MLE this offseason...A lot of the guys they had who helped them were on 1 year deals...But dudes like Green and Rondo will be back.

Rondo, Howard, Dion definitely coming back while Kuzma and Green looking like trade candidates

LAL has to think about after Bron retires so THT, Antetokounmpo and Caruso should remain untouchable and be developed

the third star in my opinion, isn't really for Bron, but for AD's future running mate as Bron is on the way out

So five years from now

Dame
???
Antetokounmpo
AD
???

As a core.

Kostas is a long term project, either he develops or we get Giannis when Bron retires or on his last legs. But for the sake of getting Dame I don’t give a shyt who goes outside of Bron and AD lmaoo.

With that said, I’d love for Rob and the scouts to find a nice 2nd round international prospect. Would be nice to hit on a Jokic type player.

Pelinka and Rich Paul got it. We ain’t dealing with woatchuk and bartender scouts anymore. Don’t even need to stress about it, they gonna get us right

I think we got the full MLE, we also have some expirings to work with.

All in all tho, it’s the #FreeDame campaign over here.....

Cook and AD super close I think you gotta keep him for that

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

We gonna get Dame before his contract is up. #FreeDame

[Kairi Irving]

Seems more like a warriors pick up

Brooklyn turns this down because then they’d have no backup to Kyrie. By doing this they’d be all-in on either Chiozza or their draft pick starting 30 games between them.
