    Lonzo could take Zu on some overnighters to his house in Chino Hills to run some of those hills with him. Or those sand dunes that Clarkson and Russell and Randle used to pose ..... errrr ......run on a couple years ago under DiFrancesco's watch for training.

    Off-season is sooo long when you aren't a playoff team.

    I keep imagining a death lineup of ....

    Lonzo / KCP / PG13 / Ingram / Lebron

    Facing off against Golden State. Hopefully the FO's dream comes true because that is a lineup that can compete.

    I'll play along.
    KCP - Curry
    Ball - Klay
    Ingram - Iggy
    George - Durant
    Lebron - Green

    One hell of a match-up. Both sides can almost switch everything.

    Yeah. Same. I just hope we can afford to keep KCP around if we sign LeBron & PG.

    I don't know all the math, but I'm pretty sure that, if we can shed Deng's contract, we should be able to pull that off.. Anyone crunch the #s on this..?
    I'd still have a hard time accepting LeBron as a Laker, but that is an exciting Team.

    I think we'd only be able to keep either Brook or KCP, unless everyone decides to take a pay cut.

    Therealdeal and I think Time or Doc have crunched the numbers.

    Yeah long story short with Deng stretched we got like 10 mill after PG and Lebron and they take mini cuts. I think if we trade Deng we can outright sign KCP/Lopez for about 15 mill. Only one player.

    I don't think that's right. I have a post on it in another thread but I'm on my phone and can't look right now.

    It's been done to death, but in order to keep two of KCP and Lopez around the Lakers need to get rid of the entirety of Deng, Clarkson, and Randle's contracts OR everyone takes paycuts.
