2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

I wouldn't give up all those players for Winslow. Our problems are just as much offensive as defensive and that's way too much talent offensively going out.

 

Talent?

 

Boogie alone has unknown value that could eclipse Winslow... but then you add Kuzma's ability to score in spurts and two legit shooters... it all seems too much for what... the next Tony Allen?

If we had Lou on our team already... if we had DLo... sure then you add Winslow, but we don't have the third scorer... and getting rid of 40 points of potential scoring seems too much, flawed though those pieces might be. I don't see how even Iggy will help until either Kuz starts scoring or we find that third scorer.

 

Boogie is just an expiring salary atm. I am not expecting him back.

Even if he takes 9 months for the acl (already quick), mid May is the earliest. We want this guy back in rd 2-3 after not playing for almost a year? On top of the achilles injury and quad injury. He should sit this entire season and keep rehabbing.

That boogie injury really hurt. Last year he avgd like 16-17 I believe coming off that achilles injury. He could have been our 3rd scorer rn easily getting 16 off the bench. 16-20 ppg and a good passing big.

Unless we want to keep him here so we can have him for next year, no point for this year.

Iggy is still helpful, he fixes one of our needs. When locked in during playoffs, he is an elite defender who knows his role and has hit timely shots

Hope to hear some rumors of some players wanting out soon. This team aint goin cut it

 

Can't believe Kuzma is playing this awful lately. He seems completely out of it offensively and defensively, he's as terrible as he's ever been. Super clumsy with the ball, makes terrible passes, not physical enough to post up, and just runs around cluelessly at times. I agree with the Melo post. I didn't want Melo because it would have hurt Kuzma's 'progression' but at this point, Kuzma does NOTHING better than Melo and that is very disappointing.

 

This.

I wonder if we could somehow get Jrue, would be perfect. Easily give up Green, Boogie (cut/waived), Kuzma, THT, and a 2nd

Trade isn't perfect, I made a comment down there about a few things, but I wonder if we could make this work.

He would replace DG with even better defense. Gives us a 3rd scorer/shot creator and can play backup pg when Lebron sits.

We also do lose our best and most consistent 3 point shooter. Somehow would need that fixed. Like a Daniels and cash comp for Korver type of Deal.

Not very realistic here, but just a dream

 

Wow - this actually makes so much sense it's crazy. Reunite the 2018 Lakers, Jrue back in LA, and back with AD (and they're still boys), we get a legit 3rd option who can also handle the ball and take pressure off of LeBron and he's also one of the best defenders in the league that can guard 1-3.

 

Lakers should only add one more impact player on this team. If they can't get him, let this team ride it all the way through. This team is good enough to win it all. One more guy would almost clinch it if they dont have any major injuries.

 

Here is a list of players that make sense and should or could be somewhat attainable. Anyone I am missing

JJ Reddick (13.5M)

WInslow (13M)

Barton (13M)

Mills (12.5)

Bogdan (8.6M)

Ingles (12M)

Sato (10M)

Rose (7.3M)

Royce O neal (1.8M)

Mcdermott (7.3M)

Bertans (7.5M)

Augustin (7.25)

Duncan Robinson (1.4M)

Blejica (6.9M)

Jae Crowder (7.8M)

 

No one on the list worth trading for. I'd take a couple on buy outs, but overall, not impressed with anyone there.

 

“Some players can’t handle the bright lights of LA, but I’m built for this”

—Kuzma (Paraphrased)

my how the turn tables

 

Ridiculous nonsense

He has no true playmaker there likes he’s always had. Lebron is that guy

Elite defender who is a top 5 guy without a doubt.

 

Well whether your team's success is based on the body of a 35 year old or a load manager... one could say we are both dodging bullets to a certain extent.
(They both have two years with a player option)

 

LMAO. Did you just say Lebron looks slow and sluggish out there? Wonderful observation. If that's what you said?

 

You mixed us two up?

I was saying Lebron is the playmaker that would be great with Kawhi. Kawhi needs a playmaker like Lebron

 

Gotcha. That's why I asked. LeBron is amazing me with his size and mass and acceleration and close outs, at any age. He's a freak of nature to be doing it even more so at 35.

 

his stats are off, his percentages down, lots of games missed

He's definitely not healthy, so he's being wise by not torching his body for the regular season. BUT, if he doesn't get better, and this isn't just nagging injuries, then yes, we definitely dodged a bullet, and he was foolish for not taking advantage of playing with two other stars.
