Trades

I don't feel that way at all. I'm excited about this season.

Same. Letting KCP and Caruso walk feels bad but the signings have been very solid so far.

There's no other way but to create a roster of ring chasing vets. People who want to see a young homegrown team grow into its potential are rooting for the wrong team.

If they knew they could get Bazemore or Ellington relatively cheap i get why they would move on from KCP, but allowing Caruso to walk at that price while having to find a replacement at the bacup-pg position seems strange unless they have something else up their sleeve.

Dragic?

They signed Nunn.

Dragic?

Yes, please. Although it’s probably a long shot

Lakers are getting the 2023 CHI SRP in the Westbrook deal.

They just got Olaidipo. If Dragic asks to go get a ring with LBJ, Riley might go with it. Depends on what we offer. A S&T for Schröder might do it. One never knows.

Dragic was dealt in the Lowry sign and trade alongside Precious Achiuwa.

He's a Raptors player.

He's definitely going to be a buyout candidate though, the Raptors are rebuilding and have a different timeline with their rest of the roster. Minutes will go to the young players.

This. Also, Dragic has made it known he wants to go to Dallas. If he is bought out expect him to sign there. If LAL were to get involved in the Lowery S&T to direct Dragic to LA, he would cost about 45m with salary and additional tax.

We're getting 3 2nd round picks from the Russell Westbrook trade.

How about sign Schroder to 18 million/yr and trade + THT + Marc gasol + few draft picks to Philly for Ben Simmons??

[LAL1947]

Ahahaha, @snaquille_oatmeal, you got me with that Schroder to Celtics @ 120m thread.
I should've known better than to go in there not expecting a meme!

[MAMBAEMD]

Dennis will probably end up in BOS, but not for nearly that kind of money

You mean Westbrook?
THE Russell Westbrook ??
You **** me.
Wait ..
We still got AD right ???
I hope we just traded away a few ineffective scrubs from last year postseason for westy. And a couple of second round picks for good measure ( lol those things are like fiat currencies, one day the nba will realize those aren't worth anything really lol)

How many dominant ballhandlers do we need . But for real, that would be atrocious spacing. If we didn't sign Westbrook I'd be in favor of that trade though.
