2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

Agreed. Magic should go back to being the starting point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers.

 

i like lane's plan, pending the protections on those picks. seriously: top-10 protection until they turn into 2 2nds is the only way.

 

Also, Foxy was never a great C-Bag.

 

The only C bag great that helped the Lakers win a title was KC Jones as an assistant coach.

Anyone else, it's debatable in terms of the word "great". Which has been watered down to every inch of its life the last 20 years.

 

don't forget about bill sharman

 

That is unsettling. You should probably demand a trade while they're feeling generous.


Mitchell + Conley for Russ, THT, Nunn 2 1sts and how many additional 2nd rounders they want.

Now there's no way they agree to that and could field more for Mitchell. But if Mitchell did want out and pushed his way here (doubtful), there's worse ways to hit the reset button than by dumping Conley's deal, getting a massive expiring, some picks and THT.

 

Oh s***, forgot about Sharman. He's on top of the list.

 

have any former lakers had success in boston after leaving LA? the only one i can think of is don nelson and that ridiculous shot he made in '69 to win the title

in recent memory, you've had shaw, fox, and rondo have successful lakers tenures after leaving boston

 

This is what gets me: trading all those pieces for WB, when all you had to do is be patient and you could have had made a real push for a star player.

We blew our chance going all in on the rest of our assets in WB.

 

Something tells me they aren't planning to destroy the team with this move. More like shake things up. There's no way that FO is looking at Westbrook in exchange for those guys.

 

lavar's right that any chance we had to bid on a mitchell were gone with the westbrook trade. that said, i don't think we'd have had the assets anyway.

i still think we should be keeping an eye on utah because russ's big expiring could facilitate a gobert or conley move.

 

Brick for these 2

Let’s go!!!

 

lol utah -18 wins.

i got close:



here's a 3-teamer:

 

I like it and definitely doable. Have you emailed Rob so's he doesn't overthink this off season and overlook the possibility?

 

Riley is going to get Mitchell this summer, huh?

 

lol totally. dude basically always gets what he wants and has it arranged months before anyone knows it's possible.

 

Yeah, Utah would likely have interest in Herro and/or Robinson.

 

Unless we maybe we offer Lebron in a three teamer. Mitchell could be an acceptable return.
