Gotta somehow sell Horford on joining, certainly the right type of high caliber/high character vet, perfect from an X and O standpoint too, high aptitude pick and roll defender, etc. Think if they sell him on his ATL guy Bazemore joining him along with maybe his former ATL teammate Marvin Williams as well, they could have something. Keep hearing about Portland or the Magic being strong competitors for him, but LAL is more talented if you add Horford/Bazemore/M.Williams to the picture. Doesn't hurt that his wife is a former beauty queen, she might like the idea of LA year round
Hmm.... LegionNBA@MySportsLegion Bulls are intrigued with trading Jimmy Butler for the Lakers #2 overall pick reports @GeryWoelfel.
Probably one of a million rumors that won't come true tonight, but would you do that deal? I would...
As would I. Jimmy Butler pops less than George on tape because George is taller/longer and perhaps a little more athletic, but Butler is every bit as good as George regardless, if not better, and all the numbers say just that. I would do back-flips today if LAL drafted Ingram and then flipped him to the Bulls for Jimmy Butler, would be incredible value on that contract of his as well. Damn...I want Jimmy Butler now. Lol
Getting other reports as well, looks like Butler could be up for grabs NBA Central @TheNBACentral 46m46 minutes ago Rumor: Some around the league believe the Lakers may trade the #2 pick for Jimmy Butler tonight.
Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicsTweets 3m3 minutes ago I think the Lakers will take a player with the second overall pick tonight. That player might even be good!
Mark MedinaVerified account @MarkG_Medina 13m13 minutes ago I've sensed skepticism Chicago's Jimmy Butler is getting traded to Lakers in a deal involving No. 2 pick
Mark Walter ✓ @MarkWalterGuggenheim 2 minutes ago Wow, I had no idea Magic was such a dumbass. Are all black people that stupid? Not being racist, I just don’t know any darkies. #DaveRobertsHalfWhiteHalfGood 4:02 PM - 23 June 2016
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine ] Sacramento has been heavily engaged in trade talks all week and sources say one player they've tried to land is the Lakers' D'Angelo Russell If Cousins isn't involved, hang the fuck up.
Mark MedinaVerified account @MarkG_Medina 44s45 seconds ago Mitch said Ingram had two dinners w/ Lakers. On the second dinner, Russell, Randle, Clarkson, Anthony Brown & Larry Nance. Jr attended Just so you know who's coveted and who probably won't be Lakers to start the year ( Lou...more accurately - Nick Young)
