    I figured it out in the other thread. I think its definitely possible to keep Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, and at least a couple of Nance, Hart, Bryant, Zubac, and given the way he's playing I'm tempted to put Caruso in there.

    I was on board with Clarkson/Randle/2 1sts this summer so you don't have to tell me! Obviously that would have meant missing out on Kuzma which is a bummer, but having Paul George in hand would really make me feel good heading into this summer.

    Do you seriously think players ( especially a great one like Lebron) don't know who they are going to play ?

    As for Kobe , it was just his way to downplay it ...

    Yes I do. Do you seriously think these guys have every roster memorized? Do you think LeBron knows all the players on the Kings? Or the Nets? Or the Suns?

    And no Kobe was not downplaying it. He genuinely did not know anything about Lin at that point and went on to get beat by him.

    Hoping Lonzo, BI, Kuzma, Randle and Clarkson all show up and play well tonight for many reasons. Throw in BroLo and KCP and we might actually win the game if Lonzo has a really good game. That would be pretty special.

    Oh and Luke to get his head out of his arse with the bad rotations and momentum killing substitutions.

    :Lukewaltonlook:

    Cough ....hack .... anyone want a hit?

    The title is VERY misleading.

    It basically outlines exactly what it would take for us to get LeBron: 1) get Paul George by trade or through FA and 2) make sure there's enough cash for him to have a max deal.

    It makes it very clear that's what it'll take to get LeBron. Signing him without George would be considered very unlikely.

    It's not just Ryan Anderson. It's also Gordon AND Tucker AND most likely Capela which would be a big loss to them.

    According to LeBron's mouthpiece Windhorst, it's an interesting concept but LeBron will only go to Houston if he gets his full max deal and LeBron understands that in order to make that happen, they'll have to gut the team. Not only that, but Windhorst says LeBron wanting to play with Chris Paul is "an over assumption" or something along those lines.

    Y'all had to see LBJ with his shirt over his mouth saying what must have been nice things to Zo. Very cool.

    Mission sort of accomplished for the King's pleasure. BI looked good again and bounced back. Lonzo had a good game pretty much and just missed a triple double by two rebounds. Kuz had his moments and were it not for a bunch of missed chippies and the usual turnovers ....... might have gotten them while TT was at dinner with Khloe. Or at Star Wars with KCP.
