now you're just asking for it
isnt this the Lakers thread...i mean, are we supposed to talk about how bad the cavs are?
Guys keep talking like it's just about LA. It ain't about LA.

We already have big men. Is Towns or Okafor really a game changer? A franchise type big? We got Randle, Hill and Davis. They are servicable and I dont know if Towns or Okafor is huge upgrade at that position.
D Russell is a scorer, volume shooter. We got enough scoring wings on the roster. Mudiay can play the 1 or 2, is athletic and can defend, and that is EXACTLY what we need more than anything else. Him and Clarkson, and we are set in the backcourt for years.
Stanley Johnson would also be a great pickup. Him being from the area helps. But in terms of need, Mudiay or Johnson would be the best fit for us. I just like Mudiay more because he looks to have a bigger upside.
Damn watching the rising stars showcase makes me mad that lakers have none while the Timberwolves have 4 out there but how about Rudy Gobert though [emoji]128527[/emoji]

I would prefer a franchise enter playoffs year on year out, even if it means an early exit. The experience is somethinf you can‘t necessarily buy.

This is what I mean. It‘s not about LA, it‘s about the competition. It makes no sense trying to buy guys and then fall short of contention. They‘ll probably try to find corner stone guys and hopefully a big that can help contend. Been saying it all along, IMHO, LA and any successful franchise have won with Big Men.
With that said, it would be good to lock in some talented wing players as well.

So now the rumor is we will try to trade for dragic before the deadline.
Who would we have that the suns want? And damn why would the suns deal with us knowing that we are tanking to keep that pic...
Giving us Dragic now gives us a chance to drop out of the top 5, and give that pick to the Suns for sure.
Then we have to spend the 80 mil on a 29 year old, instead of paying a top 3 pick 4-5 mil a year for 4 years.
Mitch, no.
thats exactly whats happening to the first white pg we got from the sunshe can sit in a suit for the next 2 months. youre welcome.Giving us Dragic now gives us a chance to drop out of the top 5, and give that pick to the Suns for sure.So now the rumor is we will try to trade for dragic before the deadline.

New report from Kevin Helin/Marc Stein... Suns prefer to trade Isaiah Thomas over Goran Dragic...
Could be to try to get more for Dragic... But if it's at face value, they won't trade either.
Wouldn't include a the Rockets 1st..
But
Hill + Lakers 2nd for IT2
Or
Lin + Lakers 2nd & Clippers 2nd for IT2
Both fine with me.
Suns kind of screwed IT2 trade value by floating the idea of dealing Dragic and only asking for a first for Dragic.
If we sign Reggie Jackson for $15 mill a yearLeemelone makes some good points. Reggie Jackson for $15 Mill a year is failure, no matter how u slice it. I'd rather rock with clarkson and draft Russell or Mudiay
make a playoff push and show dragic that theyre commited to himWhat would be the Suns incentive to trade IT2 for hill and a 2nd?
