    Absolutely not.

    I know Korver struggled in the Finals, but he still shot nearly 50 percent from 3.

    We need shooting. In the worst way.

    I don't want Lonzo being hung out to dry on assists like D'Angelo was because there isn't shooting on the roster.

    Agreed. Teague and Butler. They are putting a solid team together.

    Yep. They've been in the cellar for awhile, though.

    Either way, it's just another team that will be competing for the PO's in the West Next Year...

    Lakers have been more quiet this year than previous years, even in the rumor mill.

    Is it the old plan or the new plan?

    Let's see if we can take anyone and a pick.

    Trading Tarik Black for him would have worked. Toronto then would waive Balck

    I'd take Cory back without a pick honestly. Productive backup PG who would fit pretty well here.

    I think the contract they really want to dump though would be Carroll and his deal ruins our 2018 plan so that's a no-go.

    Yep. If Carroll was expiring, I'd take him back, too.

    Are we really that surprised, I mean Rob and Magic both said we would be quiet during FA. I believed them than and I continue to believe that.

    We'll sign someone eventually on a 1 year deal or it could be 1+1 with team option.

    What @therealdeal said regarding the Hayward holdup I think this has something to do with it as well. Not that we're waiting on his decision but other FA's are.

    I like Cory Joseph too, but I'm not taking a chance on trading for him and then in the Summer of 2018 he picks up his $7.9 million player option and we have to that much less room to work with when we'll need it the most.

    I would be absolutely shocked if he opted in to that deal, but I understand the concern. It might take a pick then to make something work. ;)

    For what it's worth, you could almost certainly flip Joseph at the deadline. We traded a competent bench player with a similar contract for a late 1st last season. I'm sure we could do something similar the next year. But I understand your concern.
