    Thx for clarifying bro.

    But Dell Demps has traded a star to us before in a 3team format where all the teams were western conference teams.

    Stern's d****** nixed it, but Demps and Morey were fine with pairing Cp3 and Kob at the time.

    Cp3 also demanded to get moved to LA.

    So what's stopping Demps from doing it again?

    He’s probably been warned/reprimanded behind the scenes since then by his team’s owner who was warned by 28 other owners not to ever send a superstar to us again. The league owners want to share in the money the Lakers bring to the table, but they don’t want the Lakers to be good.

    this right here @vash...i dont know why you think ad to la is even remotely possible, cp3 isnt on AD lvl at the time we made the trade n the half the league cried foul, imagine a player of AD lvl? i can imagine it now, nba official office phone line will be off the hooks getting calls from the 29 or so team owners cryingx whinning n demanding a Stern 2.0 veto! lol

    Fellas I hear ya and I understand your skepticism...but Silver allowed players to openly recruit Melo when he was still under contract.

    Silver allowed the dubs to create that monstrosity they have up there... including Boogie.

    Silver allowed Cp3 to get to Htown in the blatantly tamperific fashion he did.

    Silver is not Stern.

    I'm keeping the faith and I believe Rich Paul/MagRob will figure out a way to make it happen.

    Also the way that Rondo and Jules essentially swapped and how rapidly it happened makes me think that the Lakers and Pels were in contact with each other about it... dating back to how the Pels offered to trade for Jules with Ajinica/2nd round pick before last year's trade deadline (also inquired about Clarkson).

    There seems to be an established rapport between us already.

    I can agree to all of that.

    Kuzma = Tatum
    Ingram > Brown
    Ball > Rozier
    Hart > any of the low lottery 1st rd picks they have

    We can put together a much better package.

    surprised the league hasn't fined the lakers for tampering after that lebron comment

    since you know, they're the only team in the league who tampers

    I'd like to see them try, after s*** like this:



    And s*** like that will continue to occur among players.

    Plus even if they do, Bron clearly doesn't give a f***...

    Players cannot be charged with tampering, right?

    Johnny, my interpretation is that there's an unwritten rule where the NBA will not actively seek out players for any violations unless you're on Silver's s*** list.

    Here's Bobby Marks explaining it further during a Q&A following the tampering probe Indy threw at us:

    no they can't but i was making a joke since it seems like every team always accuses the lakers of tampering and they're the only ones who actually get disciplined for it while the entire league does the same thing and nothing happens

    having one of the league's golden boys in lebron on the lakers is a nice change after all those years of kobe who the NBA obviously hated

    Thanks @vasashi17 for that.

    So as far as this tweet is concerned, this is fine:


    But if Giannis said:
    ...That IS tampering, right?

    Getting him at all is a pipe, if you ask me.

    Yep...but anything involving Giannis is sketchy:



    That was classified as tampering.

    Meanwhile...

    This wasn't classified as tampering.

    Once you can tell the difference, you'll understand how the rules apply, Johnny.

    I agree. I’d love to have Davis, but even if he requests a trade to the Lakers, the Pelicans will just trade him somewhere else because he’s not on the final year of his contract, so he’s not so much of a rental for any team willing to give up assets for him.

    It feels like we’re grasping at straws here a little bit hoping to get Davis earlier than 2 years from now.

    waiting for superman in FA is probably the most terrible way to run a team, tbh. ask dallas. hell, ask us. we've been doing it for years, finally got lebron, still going to have to fight to make the playoffs.

    ainge has a habit of rolling over picks (that's how some of these were acquired). he could package a couple for lightly protected pick from a bad team in 2020 if he wanted. nba gms are creative.


    so much this.

    pretty sure many non-laker fans disagree with the first three statements in that quatrain.

    yes. so is the plan to sit on our hands while lebron ages out in the hopes of getting davis?

    a better plan would be to trade for high quality players, win now, and preserve the ability to make a competitive trade offer for davis in his final year or as a S&T. derozan got leonard. we can get a derozan-level player and be better for it now and later.

    I don't see Ainge giving up Tatum in a trade. He's notoriously cheap and Tatum is the future as well. I just don't think he'll ever be part of an offer. Hayward, Brown, whoever else, but I don't see him dangling Tatum.

    I'd give up BI, Kuz and even Hart. I don't think we're trading Ball - he's a linchpin for what we want to do. There's no better pass first, all team defensive potential, low usage PG on a rookie contract who can take his place. He was Magic and Rob's pick for good reason. He can be throwing lobs to AD for years and running that high octane offense that the FO wants to see.

    His problem right now is getting exposed in the half court as a very limited player when you slow the game down. Unless he gets better driving the lane and creating (ala Rondo), his shooting woes will always affect him.
