L.A. Lakers

[Boss_Jackal]

We have a chance to get Kawhi,Lebron and PG!

Make it happen Magic and Rob! The time is now.

I hope the Lakers can pull the trigger for this, if this happens then superstar/s will be willing to play for the Lakers. But the problem now is the Spurs specially Coach Greg who does not want to see Kawhi wearing the Purple and Gold, The Spurs has the key for Kawhi's destination and they want the best deal also, no offense but the Lakers does not have a lot of assets that are entertaining to the Spurs, fingers crossed for this.

who are you going to give bro for Faried and 14th pick?

Good question bro, our 25th pick perhaps? Although wala ni ingon ang denver sa ilang price but ambot kung kinsay mu match sa contract ni faried sa ato. Deng? I doubt since ga dump silag contract. Haven't thought about it

S&T si randle?

Bro tbh, Faried is not on my list of players I'd like to see in a Laker uniform although no question the guy is a hustler in terms of defense and rebounding, what I would like to see though is the Lakers prioritizing Superstars for real. Over the past years, Lakers management are giving false hopes to us fans which turns out getting wash up players and giving them huge bucks. I'm sick and tired of that thing happening again. Once we get those Class S players then the rest will follow.

I agree about faried but this trade is not about having him but absorbing contract with an attached asset (14th pick) if the superstar FA pitch did not work out again and we could refocus on 2019 FA class. Faried is only rental,1 year left on his contract. If our plan A failed which is signing superstars then we could absorb contracts to stack assets and position us better again for the coming trade deadline or next off-season (2019).

Kawhi has leverage if you think about it. Kawhi can force his way to the Lakers if he says that he will only resign with the Lakers. No team will give up assets for a Kawhi 1 year rental. The Lakers can actually throw a great package for Kawhi. We can send Ingram+ either Kuzma or Ball + Deng contract + 2018 FRP. Thats as good as it gets for the Spurs considering Kawhi wants to be a Laker.

Our greatest competition for Kawhi is the Celtics. They can throw Jaylen Brown + 2019 Kings pick + additional players to match salaries. Thats a great package.

Kawhi Leonard is ours to lose, I say Magic and Rob needs to do whatever it takes. If we have Kawhi, then Bron and PG13 will surely follow.
we may even get Brook Lopez back on a discount since he wants to play for a contender, Hell Chris Paul might even join us on a minimum deal just to win a chip(unlikely).

Adding PG. Plus absorbing farieds contract , if we don't have plan to resign randle, could be a good replacement + denvers 14th pick. Zhaire smith and lonie walker are both intriguing prospects. Then call it the off-season. Just no to lebron for christs sake.

Dude its Lebron. Best player in the world. If he comes to LA then so be it. I wont complain since the last notable free agents we signed was Mozgov,Deng and KCP. These players are nothing compared to Lebron.

Lebron,Kawhi and PG13. lets hope it happens

Agree on your point bro but I'd rather give Ingram+Lonzo and keep Kuzma as he can play off ball and is a spot up shooter, Deng deifinitely must go no question. I don't care about other teams wanting to get Kawhi because I know for sure even if its only 1 year rental Kawhi wants to be a Laker and thats all that matters.

You have a point bro, hopefully Magic and Rob thinks the same as you do today in case plan A failed.

Faried is a good rebounder but he is not a good defender. a 6'8 power forward with no handles, not a good defender, no outside shot. I think ill pass

Id like to keep Ingram the most but that would be very unlikely since si Ingram ang numero uno pangayoon sa Spurs. Between Zo and Kuzma id also want to keep Kuzma because he has shooting and size. Lonzo only has size LOL (horrible 3 point and freethrow shooter) plus Lonzo brings unnecessary baggage with Lavar,Liangelo and Lamelo.

Liangelo to the Lakers my ass. The day that happens is the day id stop being a Laker fan.

Kd is the best player in the world.

PG + our current young core are more than enough for now, that's a huge improvement and it's actually attainable and more realistic without risking anything at all. Wait for 2019 to sign kawhi without losing our assets, there is no beating the warriors team right now, imo. Hate to say it but bostons are doing a better job than us rn, tbh. I don't want to be the next cleveland.
