    ESPN Insider on deals they want to see in the next week. Two of the six thrown out there were Laker deals.

    This one from Bobby Marks...
    I've already said I'm out on the trade for a star path. I'm tired of living in minimum salary roster hell. No to Ball either. If no one can figure out why he's still on pain, I'm not paying him any guaranteed money.

    Basically this...


    And i want AC back in any Chicago deal.


    The other Lakers one is by Andre Snellings

    I'd do it but you just gave Jeanie a heart attack. And forced her to pull Kurt out of the mall fountain where he was snorkeling for coins and sent him out to sea looking for sunken treasure to pay for that team.

    I'd really like to see him on a beach, using a metal detector and then a giant flock of seagulls (not the band) takes multiple bathroom breaks on his head.

    I would almost swallow hard and take Crowder if I got Cam Payne on a decent contract. Almost.

    Maybe we could move Crowder on to the Bucks then.

    Yeah, I can't stand Crowder but to get Cam Payne back for that package would be nothing short of amazing. I don't see why the Suns do it.

    If we win @ at .780 clip from here on out, a tall order yes, but I am assuming health from here on and our schedule is good, then we end with a .578 win ratio and right now that puts us 3rd in the West. 3rd in the West was good enough to win the championship last year. This year has been like no other and no one could have predicted the order teams in the West are in right now. The champs are barely .500 and the Suns are 8th, barely in the playoffs, Blazers are a lotto team and the Kings are 3rd. Two months into this season the Pelicans and the Suns were fighting for the #1 spot now they are 10th and 8th respectively. That's just whack. It is not a normal year and there has never been this much upheaval among the ranks of teams in the West since I've been watching this game (a long long time). The Nuggets have just been steady. If some team actually gets their collective sh** together they can easily bounce the Nugs, they don't scare me at all though I would like Dwight to be around for Jokic.

    We have 30 games left. .780 is the winning percentage of a 64 win team, we'd have to go 23-7/24-6. There's just no evidence this team is capable of that even if perfectly healthy.

    Lonzo doesn't make sense. Lavine yes. Plus I want another deal for a shooting guard upgrade with Beverly included if we move Russ.

    Yeah, I just don't see that. I think we can go .600 for sure which puts us just over .500 to end the season. There's a chance we could play really good ball at somewhere between .650-.700 that would add on a few more wins to that (43-45). It might take that to leapfrog to say the 6th spot which I think is about the best we can realistically hope for. And I wouldn't mind it at all. I don't see us getting into the top 4. But just to avoid the playin would be huge.

    No, but they should be able to make the playoffs and then do some damage

    Bobby Marks is a moron. You’d have to give ME a first round pick to take on Lonzo, guy might have a career ending injury. I know Russ is looked at as a negative asset, but he’s not Lonzo negative, he’s an expiring and the Lakers have already paid most of his 47 mil.

    If we can get AC back in this deal, I’m all for it. If not, no thanks.

    SI did something similar to that ESPN piece above, where they crafted deals they'd like to see done in the next week



    They too came up with two Laker trades.

    I'd jump on this in theory, but adding two more injury prone players to the roster is a huge risk.

    Come on mang! No way we give even a protected First for Burks. Maybe a pair of seconds…

    No way I’m sacrificing Max, while taking back The Artist Formerly Known As Lonzo, just to get LaVine. Swap Ball with AC and some other gymnastics to make the money work and it’s a deal.

    Lonzo if healthy is an amazing fit with Lebron though. Not sure if you've been following his career, but he was shooting 43% from 3pts on high volume when he got hurt.

    kudos to him, it was a s***show when he was here, but he kept his head down and worked massively on his game.
