Nick Young, Xavier, Wes, Kobe, Kendall, Farmar, Kelly, Sacre.

Im optimist this group will flourish if playing together with a or two stars

Kobe Bryant, Xavier Henry, Nick Young, Kendall Marshall, Wesley Johnson, Jordan Farmar, Ryan Kelly, and Robert Sacre. If MDA is fired I'd keep Jordan Hill as well.

Next year: Kobe, Farmar, Blake, Kelley, and Marshall. That's it.

Thank you Swaggy, Henry, and Wesley Johnson for playing hard but you are all products of a system. I don't want anything to do with MDA's system next season. I'd consider keeping Swaggy as a 6th man but in a real system I am not sure he would be effective.

Pau we had a great run. Time for you to do your thing elsewhere.

Kobe, Farmar, Nick Young, Henry, Kelley, Wes Johnson, Jordan Hill (reasonable price)

I swear I'm not a huge fan of Kendall Marshall's game like everyone else. He throws some of the most dangerous passes out there. On the move with his body floating towards the out of bounds line he throws cross court passes

The obvious:

Kobe Bryant
Robert Sacre
Ryan Kelly

Priorities:

Pau Gasol
Xavier Henry
Jordan Farmar

For the right price:

Nick Young
Jordan Hill

Slava I think we should get what we can get for Pau now... Because I'm pretty sure he's headed to Memphis this offseason if they find a taker for Z-bo. Doesnt make sense to lose Dwight for nothing and then lose Pau for nothing the following offseason. Just get anything for him. Just suprised we passed on that Cav deal if the idea was to get under the luxary tax this year

If you can get something good for him, sure trade him. Otherwise there is no other center out there that will be available for 2 yrs/$24 mil of the same caliber and skill level. Since he's been healthy, he has been excellent on both ends of the floor. You just need to play him with someone other than Ryan Kelly in the front court.

And your a fan of Nick Young :lol:

. I see where you are coming from and I understand that Nick Young have been one of our most consistent players but that doesn't mean that he isn't out of control chucker that is a product of MDA's system. Marshall is overrated right now but if he wants it enough could get better. But I don't think he wants to be great. So he will probably be out of the league again soon. Has the skills to be really good if he wants to improve his shot, handles, and defense.

I'd add Blake to for the right place. Not sure about Nick Young though.

Yup need someone who actually plays defense. We need a real assh*le defensive player next to Pau. Ibaka would be a dream scenario. But realistically I would love Manimal.

I guess no one wants back Meeks lol, i dont know why people are so high on Marshall and Wes both are scrubs IMO.

Swaggy leaves it on the court every single game and you can tell hates losing. Also, he's actually playing with effort on the defensive end of the court. Nick Young off the bench for 3-4mill a season is a steal IMO. He's gonna at least give us a solid backup for Kobe and 12ppg off the bench

I'm with you on Meeks (dont want him back)... But Wes Johnson has the length and speed to become a above average defender in the league. He just lacks discipline sometimes on that end of the court. But with the right coach he can become a good intangible guy for the roster

Manimal has always been a negative defender, don't let the dreads and hustle fool you! :lol:

I almost expect us to go after an athletic PG next season. Bledsoe is a pipe dream but Lowry is a very attainable target.

I just don't like where Lowry's head is at. Their are times where I think he is legit then other times I think he is Mike James :lol:

For me this is easy. ...

Nick, Wes, Xavier, Jordan Farmar, Hill ( but I think we're gonna lose him, MDA plays too many head games)

But just because guys have deals don't mean we can't move them.
