704. Formerly 212 and 843.
Last summer and this season, Ingram and Lonzo being the 2nd pick was off limits as trade options but, now that has changed. I know didn't wanted to include them in any deal to get PG because he thought that PG was going to end up in LA anyway as a free agent. I also know that Magic preferred to make his big free agent push this offseason that the last one. As for Lavar, he already laid his cards on the table that the Lakers better draft both of his other sons or Lonzo will leave LA when he becomes a free agent.

Interesting how highly Laker fans rate Lonzo and Kuzma. From the lakers games I watched last season, I would have thought Julius Randle would be one of the untouchables. he was very impactful and a beast for the lakers last season and imo a top 5 most improved player behind Oladipo, Capela, Murray and Dinwiddie. just my two cents

what's the point in moving Ball and Kuzma when you just drafted them...?

Ingram has 2 more years until being a RFA

Randle is a RFA this summer. Is there a market for him? Not many teams have cap space..

The Lakers are making improvements by drafting well and this year they got guys to play defense. They need a defensive C and more wings.

The Los Angeles Lakers aren't being particular as far as potential ways to upgrade their roster this offseason.

Per Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times, no player is considered off-limits in potential trade discussions with teams, though they aren't actively shopping anyone on the roster:

"While they like their young core and would prefer to keep those players growing together, they have told teams no player is untouchable in trades, according to multiple sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of trade and free-agent negotiations.

"To be clear, the Lakers are not actively shopping any of their players. They are willing to listen to offers and could move one of them — even a member of the talented young cadre of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram or Josh Hart — if an offer blows them away."
Wtf?

Zo can’t be traded
Kuz can’t be traded

All other nikkas can go

But Zo + Kuz + LeBron + Kahwi/PG-13 is at least Playoffs. And they can build on that.

A full reset makes 0 sense

Ingram.. I’m seeing it but I’m not seeing it... he greatly improved and is aggressive..BUT what if it takes him to finalize a Kahwi deal? Peace breh

Deng needs to go (when does this dead weight’s contract end?)

Lopez can go (they need to start running more and posting less, even though he is versatile)

Randle is a good player too but if they get someone better let’s do this

Kuz is a future All-Star, Zo’s vision is key to the future.

Let’s hope they DO NOT fall for PG-13 air hype. He is Playoff Pee.

Let’s be real

Playoffs in 2019
:banderas:

Oh yesh we damn near byke LWO
:smugbiden:

Division Champs: 2019
Conf Champs: 2020
RINGS: 2020 or 2021
:wow:

LeBron.. I want him to win tonight but IF they lose.. it increases the chance of him coming to LA
:patrice:

Nah fukk that Bron, step on they necks
