One of Ingram, Kuzma or Randle or all of them?

Hopefully they have not lost their minds.

Especially with Ingram.

All of them.

I’d do that trade if I’m the Lakers. Those guys are replaceable and Leonard is about as rare as it gets.

Ingram is only 20 and improved by leaps and bounds. He is the only one out of the names mentioned that I wouldn't be able to stomach losing.

fuck that, i would give them nothing (i mean literally nothing, theyd have 20M in cap space and can go chase free agents. maybe throw a pick in there) for him, take it or leave it. id also make sure to get only one of James/George, so we can go after him in 2019, if they dont want to trade

The only way that I could remotely accept this, if Ingram is included, is that Deng is part of any deal in a 3 way trade.

If not, then I have my doubts.

Lonzo, Kawhi, James/George (or both), Hart, Wagner, the Ukrainian kid, Zubac, T.Bryant and do we even have cap space after this? that is, assuming we trade Deng

vs

Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, Randle, 2 of Kawhi/James/George (Kawhi in 2019, other 2 now), Hart, Wagner, Ukrainian kid, Zubac, T.Bryant, also assuming we trade Deng

im taking option 2 anytime

What makes you so sure Lebron and PG will join you if Kawhi isn’t there? And what makes you so sure Kawhi doesn’t go to the Clippers or another team and ends up staying there? It’s risk management and I’d take the risk of losing Ingram because it guarantees a much better player. The rest of those players are nothing special

OK. You can stop now. Seriously.

also, no one knows what version of him we would be getting. 2016 Kawhi was top 5 player in the game easily, with James, Durant, Curry, and by far the best defender of the bunch. but he played what, 7-8 games in the last 12 months? point is, no one knows what version of Leonard will come back, he didnt look like his MVP caliber form in the little games he played this season, so giving up anything for him when you could wait a year, see how he does and then sign him with capspace, would be the much easier solution.

btw, PG doing an ESPN special now? lol, hes so coming here

Maybe special to you but let’s be real here. He’s far from an all star.

the beauty of this thing is, i dont care whether they join or not. we know Kawhi wants LA only, and we know Spurs wont trade him to a western conference team (unless a stupid offer arrives, like the one King of Kings mentioned above). if we get neither this summer, we will get Kawhi next summer, and likely have cap space for another max (Deng will be much easier to trade with one year on his contract as opposed to 2 right now), so we good either way.

also, we have about 5-6 very good young players, of which 4 have allstar potential, of which the oldest (Julius) is 23. im not breaking that up, unless you give me a HOFer at age 24

hes a 22 year old rookie, if he was an allstar already we are talking about an all time great

How can you already determine that he is far from an all-star? He made the all-rookie 1st team on a loaded class. But you can already tell that he is far from an all star.


Care to share the Powerball numbers with me, Nostradamus?

 

[ALC]

You guys are proving my point. He’s an unproven rookie, therefore nothing special. If give up Simmons for Kawhi too. One is a top 3 player, Kuzma is an average player.

when was the last time you saw top 3 player Kawhi?

Answer my question. How is Kuzma far from an all-star? I'm not saying that he is going to be an all-star, but you are so certain that he is far from it. Based on what, exactly?

 

[ALC]

There’s 10 Kuzma’s every draft. I get that he shows promise but there’s no guarantee of how good he’ll be

I get it now. You don't have anything to back up your assumption.

admit it, you havent seen a single Lakers game last season

 

[KB824]

There are 10 Kuzma's every draft. Sure, because every year, 10 rookies accomplish this

He was the first ever NBA rookie to compile at least 330 points, 120 rebounds, and 30 made three-pointers in his first 20 games.[13] He was also just the sixth non-lottery pick to win the award in the first month of his career

 

[KB824]

According to reports, Ingram has not been part of any trade package. I have no idea how a trade gets done without including him.

"i love LA..." what a way to open up part 2

Dayummm PG in LA!!! so definitely getting that jersey if true!

I wouldn't want to lose him or Ingram
I'd prefer to wait for kawhi

 

[KB824]

This is one big game of chicken, is what it is.

 

[Osman]

Man PG is nowhere good enough to have his version of the decision. It's just sad he thinks he warrants that kind of attention.


Not only isn't he third of the star LeBron is, but he didn't learn from how Bron was completely PR KILLED for that narcissistic nonsense.
