    Lakers look to have dodged the Steve Nash trade bullet after all that's happened. I do not know if the 22-24 pick will be enough to move Deng. With the way the Lakers have been drafting in the late first round, they might look at that as a prime pick.

    Randle's future is in the hands of Lebron James. If Lebron doesnt come, Randle and PG will be the long term signings. If Lebron and PG come, randle is out. That's my prediction.

    I realize that. It will take the Cleveland pick, our 2020 pick and maybe a couple 2nd rounders to get the conversation going. And to be honest, I make that deal in a nanosecond. We can't expect to get Kuzma every time we draft in the 20's. Randle will likely have more impact than what those 4 picks would provide us, especially when you consider that we have so many kids on the roster already.

    With Charlotte winning tonight, it didn't matter if we won or lost vs Houston, cause that pick is locked in at #10 now to Philly....and unless the basketball gods are cruel it will stay as the #10 pick and won't be a top 3 pick.

    And a Philly win tomorrow vs the Bucks makes the CavsPick #25 coming back to us.

    So there is seriously nothing to play for (including tonight) but boy was it fun to have Ingram go off and I hope it continues vs the cLips tomorrow.

    2 points and one assist... I honestly think I would be able to do that right now in one game, and I am almost 44. Damn. :Bangbrick4:

    I'd do it for less $$ too. How does $250k sound?

    Rob has one more deal left. Let's hope he can unload Deng, the #1 and crap for something or nothing. If that can happen on draft night or whatever, we are out of ALL the crap from the past. ALL of it. We can start fresh, especially if we get PG. Then the Lakers can get back to thinking playoffs and titles. This dead weight salaries and draft position is DONE!
