Deserves one of my old fashioned crazy trade posts for old times sake. The Pels (baby lakers) get two more of our former lottery picks to go with Randle in Ingram and Lonzo plus much improved young center Javale, two future 1st rounders, and the expiring contracts of KCP, Rondo, Beasley, and Lance that they can then quickly spin off in side deals for mid level prospects of 2nd round picks to contenders in need of veterans for the playoffs. The Pels can dump a lot of salary and have a nice group of young players prospects and picks. PG: Lonzo, Rondo, Frazier SG: KCP, Lance, Miller, Clark SF: Ingram, Etwaun, Hill PF: Randle, Mirotic, Beasley C : Javale, Okafor, Diallo The Lakers get Anthony Davis, Elfrid Payton and Wesley Johnson but take on the contract of Jrue Holiday eliminating the ability to sign another max FA in the offseason. Jrue is a good player that defends and passes and can score but is mediocre shooting from distance. Still better than Lonzo or Rondo though. As is Payton. PG: Jrue, Payton, Caruso SG: Hart, Svi, Bonga SF: LeBron, Wesley PF: Kuzma, Wagner C : Davis, Zubac, Chandler No one on the Lakers starting lineup is a knockdown 3 point shooter but they can all shoot it well enough and are a threat from anywhere on the floor. Elfrid Payton would essentially be the sixth man and in that sense an upgrade can be made for a Lou Williams type would be nice as he would be the first small or guard off the bench. At the forwards there will not be many minutes because Anthony Davis would want to play a third of his minutes at PF as well. So Wesley Johnson and Moe Wagner would probably split about 10-20 minutes between them... if that. Zubac and Chandler would split 24 minutes or so between them at center depending on if the team needs more defense or scoring.
LAL reportedly not willing to trade Zo But they are willing to move Hart, Zu and Moe I'm good with moving Hart. Zu a little less so. Completely hate the idea of moving Moe Riles better gtfo if he asked for Zo in return for Ellington
LAL VS Rockets in an hour Somebody needs to hit Harden early. Probably won't happen given this soft era, but he needs to start taking real fouls when he goes to the basket. If the refs are just gonnna send him to the stripe anyway, make him earn them
Hart is a jackass. You put your hands behind your back so you don't reach..and you end up reaching and fouling anyway.
Rockets need to get back in this shit so Kuz can go for 50 Otherwise he's just gonna sit in the 4th again Oh what fun. Rondo on the verge of coming back so of course now Zo is hurt
