    Like your AVI and anyone else's it winds up being. Or can there be only one person with the same AVI? Kuz with the big grin in the bright purple blazer after landing us the #4 pick against all odds keeping our Lotto luck going. Last time hopefully for a loooong time.

    Of course. We'll just start f****** around in the thread trying with words and @lakersgifs.com to bring a few smiles during these dark days.

    It's David Griffin who's actually VERY high on Ingram. He'll likely be the centerpiece followed by Kuz or Ball, probably depending on who we sign in Free Agency as well. I'm leaning towards Lonzo, I think Phoenix REALLY wants him and they'll probably part with their Number #6 and a top 4 protected future 1st for him, and we'll parlay that to NOLA for a full rebuild package for them.

    Much as I love Kuz and went out on a limb before Christmas his first season and said he will be the first NBA player "inducted" while he's still active .... I'm thinking I'd rather him go than Ingram or Ball. And Ball's only complicated because of stoopid LaVar come time for Lonzo's FA decisions. Because of his insanity with the dream.

    If we can actually get a solid FA Shooting Guard (i.e. Kemba, Kyrie or Klay), & we are able to make a trade with NOLA for AD...
    My preference would be to keep Lonzo if possible. If we had 3 All Stars filling all the scoring rolls, Lonzo fits in with that scenario the best IMO. He wouldn't be asked to score just facilitate, rebound & defend..All of which he already excels at.
    Don't get me wrong. I like both Kuz & Ingram more than Lonzo straight up, but if we can only keep one to potentially pair with an All Star trio, I'd choose Zo. I'll put the pipe down now.

    Had a Pels beat writer on local air here in El Paso talking about how a Tatum package trumps all, then joked about our package, said Pels have all the leverage. Kid irritated me a little.

    I swear no one has actually watched Tatum play. The hype is unreal

    What do you mean? He plays like the child between Jordan, Kobe and a goat.

    Just checking in to say don't believe the stuff Gayle said. That was just damage control. As far as I know, she absolutely does not want to deal with the Lakers. But Griffin is open to it, and if the Lakers have the best offer, it'll be interesting to see who wins out.

    A Tatum package doesn’t exist. Ainge is not stupid enough to trade him knowing Kyrie’s on his way out, which would be the reason why AD stays.

    Nobody has any idea what Ainge will do, at least in my circles, but Ainge made it very clear to NOLA during the deadline fiasco that Tatum would absolutely be available. Obviously, a lot has changed since then, though.

    A lot has changed in the sense that now Kyrie is more likely to leave? Or in the sense that’s Tatum’s value has gone down after several playoff games where he was invisible?

    Both. But that is more my personal opinion, as I don't have direct insight into what anyone around the league specifically thinks of Tatum at this moment in time. I'll hear more as the AD talks heat up and he is connected to the Lakers again. AEG obviously doesn't work with the C Bags ;)

    Ingram for a late 1st or 2nd.....Nope
    Kuzma for a late 1st or 2nd....Nope
    Hart for a late 1st or 2nd....Nope

    If someone thinks the Knicks have a better package than the Lakers, they are either blinded by hate or petty beyond belief. The media is NY based. ESPN, etc. They want AD in NY because it gives them something to talk about. The Lakers and Lebron will take care of themselves as it pertains to generating interest.

    I'm not really sweating AD at this point. If we are able to sign Kawhi, and Durant leaves the Warriors, we are right there with everyone else. Maybe sign DeAndre Jordan with the Room Exception.

    DeAndre/Wagner
    Lebron/Kuz
    Ingram/Kuz
    Kawhi/Hart
    Lonzo/Caruso

    If KD isn't on the Warriors, is there a team out there that you can say is definitely better than that?
