Exum gonna try everything to end up with the Lakers. Worst case scenario, we end up with Smart. I'd still be down for that.

Lakers and Dante Exum meant for each other?

If the Lakers win one of the top 3 picks, I'd be shocked if Exum worked out for anyone but LA. If they fall to 6th (the most likely spot for them) I think Exum's agent may open up the process. Someone would take Exum before that anyway ...

I think they can get a much better package for Love than anything the Lakers can offer.
I think they could too but I think Flip actually likes Love and would be willing to grant his wish.

I don't mind waiting another year if it gives us a better shot at long term winning. We ain't winning shyt with just Kevin Love so we'll be right back in this situation or even a worse one since we might not be able to tank. I mean free agency is cool, but if we have a legit chance at a top talent then we shouldn't pass up on it. If it's too low to make a difference then trading is cool.

I'm sorry bruh but I mind. This year was too hard. Rooting for them to lose was the worst feeling I've ever had as a fan. If trading that pick means we will be able to land Love and we're going after some proven talent in FA then :camby: to that pick.

Exactly why give up potential talent when getting him is an inevitability to begin with

. I really hope we don't trade our pick away for Love.

Especially if its all to appease Kobe. Look, I want him to win one more like anyone else here but he fukked himself somewhat in that regard even if he does deserve to be paid top dollar. The whole reason for the tank was to ensure our future and give someone for Kobe to pass the torch to. By 2016 we'll have the perfect farewell squad for Kobe, mitch should hold on to this bench and if we got a high enough pick for Embiid snatch him up. Throw away one more season and sign Love outright, by 2016 we're back in business and when Kobe retires its hella cap room for another elite talent like Sabo and by then Embiid will be vastly improved and Love will be in his prime. mitch ain't hustlin right....:smh:

Trading for Love feels like a whole 'nother Coward situation. Dwight actually wanted to play here, let's be real. He came, he didn't like where the franchise was going, and left. Same could happen with Love.
The c00n situation was a different monkey man. He was banged up and Pringles didn't care for him.

You realize if we trade that pick for Love we won't be contending anytime soon right?

That's the thing, you're just looking at trading the pick. I'm looking at the entire picture, which includes making a splash in FA.


But most importantly, Pringles gotta go.

If we end up with the top 3 pick, we aren't even gonna pick Exum. :yeshrug: I don't know why a team would gamble on Exum if he doesn't attend their workouts or interviews.

Lowry and Deng are both gonna want at least 10 milli breh leaving no room to resign Kevin Love when his contract is up. That retarded Kobe contract really fukked shyt up.

I also think it's important that of we do keep the pick that the rookie be brought into a healthy environment. So I still think we should try to make some noise in FA.

They're gonna keep the pick and I'm just gonna have to put shades on during the games to hide the tears next season.
