    The Lakers will have loads of free money now and will be able to pursue 3 players in their prime to add to their young guns.
    Unfortunately only 2 seem to be realistically available to the Lakers.
    So lets amend that last trade to make it a 4 way with Charlotte as well and they can have Thomas Bryant and the 1st round pick plus ex Laker Jordan Clarkson for Kemba Walker.

    PG: Kemba, Hart
    SG: George, Hart
    SF: Ingram, Kuzma
    PF: Randle, Kuzma
    C : Cousins, Lopez

    And yes, Magic will sign Obama to be the new executive vice president of public relations taking over for the departed John Black.

    Man...giving up on Randle will hurt, but Leonard maybe the one player worth it.

    Might work in our favor if all the other teams feel he is bolting to LA in a year, they may not offer much up. Plus MGT needs to either renounce Randall or trade Deng to add both George and Bron.....might be worth it to form LA Voltron!!!

    Ball - PG
    George - SG
    Leonard - SF
    Kuzma - PF
    Bron - C

    ??? Kuz was 1st team all rookie, and Ball, having made all 2nd team all rookie would have booted Markkanen off the 1st team had he not been on the DL so much. Ball is exactly what we need on this team. Everyone complains that he needs to shoot better but realistically he aint shootin if Leonard/Bron/PG13 are anywhere near the court. I want to keep everyone, but Ball is untouchable and MGT needs to keep one of Ingram or Randall.

    Yeah, im not sure about that. With Leonard airing his disgruntlement out, and his looming opt-out, i think his price drops.

    If the Lakers are getting Leonard, presumably Lebron and George can come with him

    Ingram would be expendable

    In this scenario without a doubtLonzo's shooting becomes a moot point. Randall is from Texas so SA would want him for sure and he'd forego his free agency but to get Kwahi I'd ship Ingram as well. Just don't believe he'll fill out that frame. After July 1st the will be fascinating!

    The more I think of Randle as a Spur, the more it makes sense to me.

    Lakers odd to win championship went from 20 - 1 to 6 - 1 based on rumors and innuendo, feels surreal IF they get all of this done.

    I duno....im torn between keeping Ingram and Kuz.....knowing that one of them needs to be trade bait. I probably would take Kuz because he is closer to being Tatum than Ingram is to being KD. Also, its not July 1, but June 29.....thats when Bron needs to decide if he is opting in or out of his last season in The Land. Didn't realize it but if he opts in then Cleveland has a chance to trade him somewhere other than the few teams that could sign him outright.

    The Lakers should not get so greedy. They will already be getting a huge bounty without having to gut the prospect pool.
    Sacrifice one of the kids. Ball seems to be the favorite.
    Ball, the 1st round pick, and the salary of Luol Deng to match Kemba Walker who does not have a max contract.

    PG: Kemba
    SG: George, Hart
    SF: Ingram
    PF: LeBron, Kuzma
    C : Randle

    I honestly prefer Leonard over PG13. But that may take an Ingram and one of Randle or Kuzma to get him in exchange for the Deng off load. May also need to give them our first rounder.

    Kuzma ball and Deng for Leonard.

    Sign lebron and PG.

    Ingram
    PG
    Leonard
    LeBron
    Who cares at center.

    Two-way nightmare team:
    1-4: shortest guy is 6'7". All can guard positions 1-4 and switch everything.
    Everyone can handle, everyone can shoot.

    Perfect team to beat Golden State.

    Mebbe Jerry West can become their consultant? Seeing BBBall go away in a trade would be very satisfying too!
