    What if Lakers brought in Chris Bosh as the 15th man on this roster?

    Who says no?

    Yes, this. I also say no, have multiple times before. Bosh WOULD be excellent for this team if healthy, but I don’t want to see any franchise contribute to a player dying on the court. He needs to continue to be saved from himself.

    although it would have been surreal to say he died a Laker

    She went on to say though that Klay is likely to stay and has been open about wanting to be a Warrior for his whole career. The Lakers would love to steal Klay or Durant, but I don't see either outcome being likely.

    Right now for me the list should be:

    Durant
    Kawhi/Klay
    Butler
    Walker
    Al Horford/DeMarcus Cousins (health provided)
    Khris Middleton/Harrison Barnes
    Paul Milsap
    DeAndre Jordan
    Marc Gasol/Pau Gasol

    Thinking Kawhi and/or Butler are likely...

    Pretty much this for me, except I'd put Kawhi level with Durant if he's pre injury level, maybe even above.

    My list is about the same but I would have Kawhi over Klay... and Demarcus (if he comes back 90-95% to what he was pre-injury) just above Butler.

    I know even before Boogie’s injury, a lot of people here aren’t high on Boogie because of his attitude. I don’t think that matters to this team if you look up and down our roster. Plus preinjury Boogie was playing at a MVP level with the Pelicans. He was putting up 40/20 while also being able to shoot 3s as a big man.

    That's a big ol' HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

    If he picks Klutch, there's something brewing here for sure. If we can nab someone like Kawhi this summer, I'd trade a handful of kids and picks (the ones that are the furthest from ready) for Davis even as expiring.

    Alot of ifs here...but if he signs with Klutch and if he demands out next year and if he wants to go to the Lakers...

    Kawhi into cap space next summer as a free agent and AD would be making 27.1m next year, so only 21.6m in outgoing salary needs to happen for a trade to be consummated.

    Zo, BI = 16m in salary next year. Moe, Hart and Bonga or Svi can make up the difference in salary. Kuz can survive the storm...

    Bron/Kawhi/AD/Kuz/Svi...That would be my end game no doubt....if, everything falls our way.

    The thing with AD is Boston will go after him hard, like really hard. Things change a little if he joins Klutch (that KCP deal plus wining and dining Rich Paul paying off), things change more if he wants LA.

    It's nice to be back in these kinds of talks where it's not a pipe dream.

    That's a player anyone would love to have when healthy, but no way a small market team that can't attract stars is going to send him out two years before he expires. If they are smart, they'll wait.

    So in other words, there's a chance. :Laugh:
