    I'm with all that (besides the kids are so far away, that part is just true).

    I've said it a dozen times already: if we add LeBron/George this summer I'm through the roof. It would be one of the greatest days in Laker history. It might cost a kid or two (Randle or maybe Kuzma, Zubac, pick in order to dump Deng so we can keep Randle), but it's worth it. A lineup of Lonzo/George/Ingram/LeBron/Lopez or Lonzo/George/Ingram/LeBron/Randle (unlikely) would be a lineup worthy of competing against any team in the league including Golden State.

    A team of Lonzo/George/Kawhi/LeBron/Lopez or Ingram/George/Kawhi/LeBron/Lopez would probably be the best team in the NBA and I'm not kidding. That team is possibly better than Golden State TODAY instead of maybe better than Golden State. Why not take that chance if it's available? Or what if LeBron/George say they'll come ONLY IF we get Kawhi or Davis?

    I've said it before: I'll be ecstatic if we just add George. If we are able to do more than that, I'll be floored. If we're able to add three MAX level players in one summer, we're the Lakers again on top of the world. Don't you want that?

    Look if you could turn LBJ and George into them plus Kahwi or AD for the cost of Randle and Kuzma fine. But that's not going to happen is it. Ingram should not also have to go once LBJ and George are ours. Arrggg..... I see the duplication between BI and Leonard and AD. But I am just over the moon with only George or George and LBJ coming and have no incentive further, personally, for that not being enough .... with everything else going forward.

    Let's not forget the defense Brandon played last night with the 3 blocks. That help side block when Lonzo's man beat him because Lonzo thought Zu was going to hedge was incredible.

    Ingram's rapid and thorough development makes the signing of LLLLL unnecessary and irrelevant tbh.

    And no matter how much money we spend while losing our great young players the resulting lineup still would pale next to the best Lakers team ever ..... Anyone for Jabbar at PF next to Shaq? Dunno WTF they did to Kobe's tongue though.

    Eh. Unless Brandon Ingram is an MVP, I don't see the qualm. I love what he's doing, but I'm about championships. If LeBron/George came through and said we're only signing if you get us Kawhi, I'm getting Kawhi.

    It'd be very happy to keep Brandon though. I've said that many, many times at this point.

    You’re just a hater.

    What did BI ever do to you?

    Why are you in such a rush to get rid of him? I just don’t get it.

    SIT. We’ve already done positive on the road trip. San Antonio is pretty banged up anyway, rest up for Portland when we come back home.

    This looks more promising. Hopefully he can go.

    OX has a very high tolerance for everyone else's pain no matter the cause.

    Heal up, kid, we need you! That Winslow play was totally unnecessary and after the fact.

    Take a game off if he needs to. Ramp up the Kuzma plays. San Antonio likes him. Let's rub their faces in it.

    You guys are unbelievable. I grew up with Kobe Bean Bryant. Blame him, not me. That's what I'm used to. And the Derek Fisher's and A.C. Green's of the world. Guys who play 82 and look at it as a badge of honor.

    Don't hate the player, hate the player who can't play thru a little pain. Bow Wow Wow.
