If we get Lopez it would be great. Other than Wagner, we have no “light on his feet 6’8 to 6’11 big man” that can move his feet when he gets put into pick and roll

Lizakers · Jul 4, 2018

Is there even an ounce of indication that the front office is even looking to resign Lopez? I’d love it but I just don’t see it with 3 7 footers on the roster

Mo probably won't get a lot of minutes to start. I don't see a lot of options for him outside of us.

Gotta get those clicks.

Shams washed, Woj debunked that yesterday. It also makes no sense cause if he goes to Philly or Boston it's a superteam there. More leaks from SA to try and pressure us into giving up more in a deal.

BIG LEEMELONE · Jul 4, 2018

That's a pretty slick way of lowering your offer for Kawhi if you're the Lakers

Woj said he doesnt want to be on the clippers

Lavar leaked the injury lmao

MVP · Jul 4, 2018

Kawhi witholding his medical from the Spurs so they can't give it to Philly or Boston. Mans really wants to be here.

Dude. We all clowned on the Cavs roster every year that LeBron had been there. This has nothing to do with your Lakers. LeBron could have went to the damn Nets and we’d still be talking about them.

Can you keep it out of our thread though?

Cavaliers Receive: F Luol Deng, F Kyle Kuzma, G Josh Hart, 2019 first-round pick

Lakers Receive: F/C Kevin Love

If the Lakers can't trade for Kawhi Leonard, they're going to need some star help around James to make any noise in the Western Conference. JaVale McGee and Lance Stephenson won't cut it on their own.

Love, on the other hand, might.

"Obviously, I'd love to play with LeBron the rest of my career, but that will be a choice that he makes," Love said before James committed to the Lakers, per WKYC's Matthew Florjancic.

Lineups featuring James and Love lineups scored an average of 113.1 points per 100 possessions this past season, which would have led the league. The two combined to average 45.1 points and 17.9 rebounds per game.

The Lakers would get off Deng's remaining $36.8 million over the next two years, and they would keep their two best young players in Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram.

Cleveland would have to take on Deng's contract, but it would get back two young players in Kuzma and Hart to build around. The Fortnite sessions between them and former Lakers Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson would be legendary, if nothing else.

For the Cavs to take on Deng's money, the Lakers would throw in a first-round pick for the trouble. Love would get his wish to play with James, and the Lakers would get another much-needed star.
