I agree with this. I could see where the Lakers were going with the JHS pick. They were concerned with the weak defensive backcourt of Reaves and...
I could also see us trading for another second rounder. Trading cash would hard cap us or something like that, but maybe a future 2nd, if a player...
I would understand if they take Yves Missi at #17. He could back up AD for 10-15 minutes per game, and start 15-20 or so games that AD misses. He...
Yeah, he does remind me of Kuzma, but he does have a better three point shot though.
A true legend in every sense of the word. This man's body of work is well documented and has been summarized exceptionally well on this thread. I...
The 8-year 100-million dollar offer would have been an offer Hurley couldn't refuse. Lakers messed up on this one.
It's logical that with the addition of the top college coach, Lakers may shift (at least part) of their emphasis to building for the future with...
Lakers with the ultimate troll job on Boston. :Adburn:
10-year / 120-150M contract
Yeah, these are excellent points, and nobody is really talking about it. With that being said, if Lauri ends up being our only opportunity, then I...
I think we should start off by going all in for Mikal Bridges on draft day. Some combination of Reaves + #17 + 2029 1st + 2031 1st + 2026 1st swap...
Sounds like Brooklyn could be a good trade partner with the Lakers. They want to rebuild and we want to win now. We have three first that could be...
A Mitchell/Max back court would be solid imo. Mitchell is one of the biggest Kobe fans in the NBA FWIW.
If he declines the option, we could use the non tax payer 12.9M MLE and just make sure we stay under the 179M apron. We might be able to get a...
Yeah he is not ideal. When we played New Orleans, I remember the radio broadcasters saying that they have no rim protection. Offensively, he has...
BTW I feel that we could sign Trent or Bridges with the non tax payer MLE of we end up having it available.
:IrelandPump:
Reaves/Rui would be like a modern day poor mans Stockton/Malone.
Agreed. I wonder what that trade would look like. Ainge is going to for sure want Reaves. I bet the trade would be something like Reaves,...
I agree with this. It is probably somewhere in between though. Whatever the case, we need to get something for Dlo, and surround Tre with...
