Official Build around Luka thread for Lakers.

May we PLEASE stop thinking about trading Lebron since he has a no trade clause?
Even if opt out and resigns, It just doesn't make sense for him to not retain that clause.
But it's okay IMO to hope that he agrees to pay cut to allow the Lakers go for a good free agent though.

Agree, I never mentioned it I was just replying to Stan

I understand. while we are at it. Also please stop this Lonzo Ball talk. The guy has been stealing money from teams that signed him. Here is the list of injury of this guy.

Also hard no on Jrue Holiday and his humongous contract! Let Boston suffer paying this guy with his very shaky 3pt %.
Also no on Nickeal Alexander Walker. Yes, both guys play defense but JJ will not play them just like he did to Vando and Goodwin.

Wowsers that's a lot of injuries lols. Only reason you go for Lonzo or CP3 for that matter is if you're trading Reaves, If you trade Reaves you'll still need another playmaker outside of Luka/Bron I wouldn't play either one of them with Luka, it's more about giving Luka rest breaks or when his in foul trouble IMO - 10-20 minutes a game wouldn't hurt? but then again I'm sure we can do better then those and another that's been talked about is Dennis, please stay away from him also.

JJJ would be a lot if they're going to trade him and don't think we have the assests, maybe another team could be involved
Not sure about Smart's worth.

Yeah, I don’t see Bron volunteering to move to Memphis anytime soon.

I hope and think he does that.
