2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Kinda like the LeBron domino when he came here, IIRC.

 

You guys are all nuts if you’re saying no to Klay for the MLE. Even if it’s a sign and trade for DLo at $18 million, it’s still a good deal for a guy that shoots 40% automatically from 3 and has the size to defend bigger wings.

He can be a superstar in his role, it’s a guy that literally does not need the ball and can just hit open 3s and run through screens while defending.

The Lakers aren’t in a position to get anyone better than Klay

 

we are not getting Klay at the MLE, that's ludicrous. The only option is probably sign and trade for D'Lo which I would take probably.

 

Yeah I don’t mind the idea of Klay, I could potentially like it a lot, but it boils down to what other moves we’re able to make.

If Lebron took just enough of a paycut to open up the MLE for Klay, but NOT enough to re-sign Christie, and Klay ended up being our biggest offseason acquisition… honestly that would be pretty disastrous IMO

 

DLO rejoining all his former teams is just too rich.

 

It’s because they know that this is the only time anyone pays attention to them and their bum a$$ Franchise.

 

well if we're getting Klay, then probably Austin is either starting at PG or too much of a luxury to come off the bench in which case he might be traded by an actual PG.

But honestly I don't see anyone in that 2nd tier of PGs that we could get. The guy was Dejounte but he's gone.

 

Klay for DLo, Reddish, Wood, Hayes, and JHS!

 

Like I said. It's not about what best for the Lebron or the Lakers. It's the principle involved, James vowed that he wasn't taking less than his max again, years ago, he said it wasn't about him, it was about the future players. Don't get me wrong, as a Lakers fan, that would be great.

On the flipside, I said what I said, about it being a business tho..besides Jordan, look at Hakeem and Pat Ewing..both finished their careers in Toronto. These teams don't really give a damn about you, once the bean counters conclude, that you are now a financial liability.

Idk..MAYBE this was the price Lebron was willing to pay all along, in order to get Bronny drafted here, and NOT on a two way contract

 

Austin’s not getting traded- at least not this summer.

 

No s***..who didn't see that coming? The Bovine(possibly)?

 

well if we trade D'Lo, it will be another year of Bron being the actual Point Guard then.

 

Lebron didn't hold s*** up. Everyone and the dead knew he was coming to the Lakers.

 

Like AR didn’t run the offense 40% of the time last year and do it well, and we don’t have Gabe or maybe some other option?

 

Vincent was the starting PG on a Finals team. I hope he's not going to be injured most of the season, during this upcoming campaign.

 

Everyone knew, but it took a few days. Again, could be wrong, but pretty sure once he announced he was coming here a flurry of deals elsewhere occurred.

 

Yeah, think I’m a no on Klay. Hard to see the way acquiring him helps us, tbh.

 

That's interesting.
Things are looking better than a couple days ago, hopefully we can capitalize in the next week
