Of course the haters will instantly say: OmG Lakers have nobody to offer or any picks etc
Nobody cares about the opinions of you haters
Go eat a hotdog and relax
Living in reality is hating?
The Lakers have nothing that will satisfy Danny Ainge of all people in a trade.
Reaves would satisfy the Utah fans and Danny ainge
Stop being delusional

i think ad is collateral fodder amidst the wheeling and dealings of klutch/lebron. his importance is magnified by the fact that the lakers have ZERO. that's what teams do when they sign with lebron - they give up their future. but ultimately ad was part of that whole thing with klutch that set a very bad precedent about stars BREAKING contracts. so in this tsunami of junk, ad is a pawn in a grass hut. we all knew this was going to happen - that it won't last for the lakers OR ad once lebron leaves
they'll have bronny thought at least
well if they dont do anything stupid they actually have future assets as in
dont tank this season , its the last uncontrolled first. ( the jazz one if its top lottery they keep)
so the "post lebron era" could be a ton of capspace, tradable semi young assets and actual first rounders to keep if "process" or trade if quality FA+ trades.

You have to be a child if you believe that.
A recent All Star/MIP in Markkanen for a role player in Reaves who is a traffic cone defensively and routinely gets targeted.
Markkanen is also only one year older.
Explain why that would satisfy Utah?

I agree that's the best scenario
Or Lakers can call the bulls and grab Derozan and Vuc

Then sign Bridges and/or Trent with the LeBron cut.
AD
LeBron
Bridges/Trent
Reaves
LaVine

What’s funny about this is that the lakers and jazz recently traded that brought them Vanderbilt and Beasley and people thought it was too good for the lakers that it had to be Ainge doing the Lakers a favor.
going from that to now having to be careful just talking to him on the phone is a crazy progression fans have made

If Utah does the trade, they will look for picks mostly. And Lakers picks dated after Lebron retirement are valuable assets, as they potentially will be a really bad team.
So the trade doesn't have to be "equal" from a player perspective. If you covet picks and you get some young players back, that typically does it. The only caveat here is if other teams are willing to offer more. It's a demand/supply market.

Non Laker fans -
The Lakers board for whatever reason is disappointingly not as active as many other team boards, even though they are considerably the most globally supported NBA team
There is nothing wrong with the OP asking questions of Lakers and other fans what direction/moves they should make.
Most Lakers posters I have seen seem pretty switched on and realistic about their team and where they are going, definitely not trollish or arrogant unlike say oh Philly fans who constantly trash Denver and Joker and now think they are championship contenders cause they signed Boy George.
Lakers fans (and I hate defending them at the best of times) do not deserve all this shade and insults coming their way (least from a thread spamming perspective)
I get the uneasy impression many Lakers fans on RealGm are now too reserved to make threads discussing their team and players on the general board, out of being abused for posting Laker content.
They are entitled to their opinions and share their views with the rest of the NBA community here (I do find the many Lebron threads a bit tiresome but I have the easy choice not to read them)
Cut Lakers Stans here some slack and also not have Laker GB threads hijacked by cynics, they are and sadly always will be the biggest franchise in Hoops history and there is always something newsworthy to discuss about LAL

hey thanks man. i sincerely appreciate that. honestly, i just want to talk ball with nba fans. i used to be active on nba twitter but that place got way too toxic, and that was before the overall mess that the platform has become. i have no issue throwing jabs back and forth with fans of other teams. i actually enjoy it quite a lot... but its gotta come from a place of it all being in good fun.

Lmao this place has recently become toxic a bit especially for Laker or LeBron fans.
They don't throw jabs, more like Mike Tyson uppercuts lol
