    Ball/Lopez/2018 Cap Space >>> DLO/Mozgov
    Plus we have some interesting young prospects & PG13 hasn't gone anywhere yet (& we've given up nothing for him)

    I love the players we picked up in the draft. Ball, Kuz, Hart, Bryant, love the upside. I'm super hyped about Lonzo and the court vision he brings to the team as well as Hart at 30 being tagged as Brogdon 2.0.

    Now if we can only find a legit star to lead and help them reach their potential...

    I'll post the full video when I can but Rob just finished his press conference talking about why we made the Russell trade, what stood out to him about the 4 guys we drafted, goals in trades and FA and more.

    Very encouraged and confident we know what we are doing with our plans going forward.

    Yeah I think it's interesting that some fans and bloggers liked D'Angelo so much that they jumped to the conclusion that we don't know what we're doing. The guys haven't been around long enough to really judge them thinking they don't have a plan. If anything, this looks like they're staying right on their plan.

    Now if we don't like their plan that's another thing altogether, but just in general it all looks like it adds up right now. It all looks geared towards certain goals. I know we all want Paul George today, but as of right now there's nothing to suggest that he has backed off his desire to come here.

    I like the focus on drafting players who can shoot .. It's a 1st step towards the current style of play of the league

    Management showing they want serious hard working players. No panic about George. Not afraid to do what needs to be done. Finally heading in the right direction. Management now has Ball (s) of steel. Incredible week for Laker Nation.

    Did I miss something? Without knowing some of these dudes, none of them is a good shooter except for Ball. With Hart, ya he hit 40% in college but jury is still out on his NBA range. Ingram hit 41% too and now can't get anything to go down from 3.

    So, who wants to place some bets that everyone on the team will be wearing ZO2's on opening night?

    Kevin Pelton, the ESPN draft analyst said the Lakers had his favorite draft of any team.
