Agree 100%. Honestly him and Zubac are the two guys I want to keep the most on the team.
Handy in the sense that they assist in matching salaries, sure. However, I'm sure we can all agree that in a trade they are going to be considered...
The Lakers' next 5 games are on the road versus New York, Detroit and Milwaukee and then a back to back at home versus Sacramento and on the road...
That Walton decided to try Ingram on Thomas in the 4th speaks volumes as to their faith in his defensive potential. Once he puts on some muscle...
Yup. Also got that in the Calderon deal as well. I only mentioned the 2018 Denver pick because the two scenarios I listed had the Lakers either...
For the record, I wasn't disagreeing with the rotation. I'm 100% on board with rolling with the young talent - a key reason why I advocate trading...
If this happened, the Lakers 5 most expensive players next season would all be coming off the bench. Not that it matters because salary shouldn't...
Basically boils down as this: Keep: 2017 Top 3 pick, 2019 1st round pick Lose: 2017 2nd round pick, 2018 1st round and 2nd round picks OR Lose:...
As every Laker fan would but that's asking a lot: The Pacers to accept a low ball offer, the Lakers to land the top 3 pick and for Hayward to...
You're nuts Oak if you'd pass on Randle/Clarkson for George. We're talking about a legitimate star (22.6ppg 6rpg 3.3apg 1.7spg 45.1fg% 38.5 3fg%)...
Which the Pacers would obviously reject. If they are trading George then it means they are taking a step back, thus taking back Lou doesn't make...
If George becomes available, I'm all about it. If I'm Indiana, I'd start the negotiations at Russell/Ingram.
I know. Me too. Guess it'll take time for us to pick up on things like that. I'm just glad for Zubac. Having him, and at his ridiculously cheap...
I agree with you that this team doesn't yet have that "closer". We were spoiled having Kobe for so many years in that role. I just don't see a...
So he's like the Anti-Zoolander :)
Yup. If the deadline doesn't yield anything, the Lakers can still trade Lou over the summer.
Probably because the guy is getting paid the type of money where you expect those statlines on a nightly basis ;)
Correct. As I said before, if I am wrong, I'll own it. I can only go off of my opinion based on my perception of Lou's value and that historically...
I've been clearly on the Lonzo Ball bandwagon.
I brought up several examples from the last two years alone where fringe playoff teams made trades - often giving up young talent and/or picks....
