Can we get an Eddie Jones emoji around here! ;)
If the Lakers trade Young, it's because they aren't going to try and re-sign him. So it's a simple case of getting something rather than losing...
I'd also look at Utah. They were very interested in Lou because they need bench scoring. Well he's not Lou but he can score. The same things with...
Eddie Jones was my favorite player, hence the origin of my username. Used to love going to games and chanting "Eddie Eddie" A piece of me died...
Such a novel concept.
Good for the Lakers to accommodate Lou Williams and send him to a strong team. If the Lakers don't trade Calderon, they should waive him so he...
Basically. Honestly, I liked Lou and he was excellent at what he did but in all honesty he had more value to a playoff team needing scoring punch...
Works for me. Hooray for lottery balls!
Naturally this happens when I am at the gym and not at work, so I am late to the party. Without reading any of the prior responses, as a vocal...
Well, in that case I am relieved that we aren't likely to see some desperation trade shipping out far too much young talent for a "star".
Basically. This is why I keep throwing out trading Lou/Young for picks in the context of having more ammo to make moves this summer.
I threw out Sessions and a 1st for Lou a while back. I'm all about that. Get it done Mitch.... errrr..... Magic!
Well like I said, the 2nd round pick is an asset. It can be used in a trade. It can be used to stash a prospect abroad, who can come over 2 or 3...
Thank you. That's basically what I'm saying. This isn't about the Lakers already having too much young talent or that a 2nd round pick is that...
I actually think he could trade George to the Lakers for Randle, Clarkson, Top 3 pick and a 2nd first. Especially since I already made that trade...
I don't disagree with adding quality players and developing the ones we have. But we're talking about Nick Young, a certain impending free agent...
In any other draft, sure. But this draft is perceived as not really having that "franchise player" type - as evidenced by the lack of a consensus...
Also both things that I've been saying! Well sort of.... but you get my gist haha
Disagree. Well I agree on his salary being cheap and him playing well but he can, and will, opt out this summer and hit free agency and Lakers...
YUP! That's what I've been saying.
