I didn’t know he knocked her up AGAIN

I think the chick he with now is the same one,but I could be wrong

Travis already stated he wants an asset for him. Besides we need him for now. Trae needs time to develop

You can sign somebody

Of course they want value for shroeder, they’ll get it, I’m a fan of his

LeBron is not going to LA regardless what Lakers do with Kawhi . .. so this is really about if the Lakers are willing to jettison roster/asset flexibility to hope PG is willing to play with Leonard.

That's the bottom line.

I suspect Paul Goerge is not willing to give up his 5th year option and appropriately so since he's had a major injury already.

Lakers out here looking like a thot.

They need to play is cool like the Spurs. Develop their own talent and let Kawhi eventually force his way out SA and pair him with the young talent and reevaluate FA next summer.

You got some info on Bron bruh?

Damn.

Was looking forward to the almighty basketball savant butting heads with the GOAT Magic Johnson.

OK and? Andrew Wiggins rookie year shytted on all these dudes, and guess what, he still boof.

These "look at what player X did at the same age as player X" did comparisons are pointless.

I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE for Ingram to become a Kawhi level player, but the odds are not on his side. And even if he does, can Magic afford to wait 5 years to get there?

You literally said "no one will ever be at Kawhi's level" when referencing the Lakers core. That's pretty much the definition of impossible. I'm not saying BI will be at that level, I'm just saying YOU and 99.9% of the people would have said Kawhi will never be at (insert franchise player) level after his 2nd year in the league. It's also not comparing just numbers, it's comparing ability. BI in his 2nd year is a better scorer than Kawhi was his 2nd year, a better distributor and playmaker than Kawhi is now(Kawhi never averaged 4 apg). So to say he'll NEVER be at his level is BS when you consider those factors.

If the Lakers can get Bron, Kawhi & PG they need to move whatever they can to do it
