Brooklyn is clearly going to match any offer he gets.

His max starts at the 5/$150M+ range, I wonder who's going to offer it.


He should take a little discount, say 5/125 to stay in Brooklyn. They seem to have a good thing going and I'd hate to see him end up in a situation like Booker.

That would be hard to do considering Brooklyn has 3x the number of wins with far less talent around. It says way more about Booker tbh.

Yeah, D’Lo is really separating himself from Booker this year. I remember when people debated those two. I actually wonder if next year we’ll be talking about D’Lo passing KAT and Porzingis. Remember, there were some people saying he had the highest upside of anyone in the draft.

What I mean is Russell shouldn't go to a team just because they offered more money. Take less money from Brooklyn in order to stay in a good situation. Don't take more money from Orlando and suck.

Legit Question.

If and only IF we don't get that 2nd star next year via trade/fa

Would it be possible to trade Lebron? and would any team really want him around 34/5 years old? what would he be worth?
Where would he want to go?

If we don't get that 2nd star player I just don't think keeping him in final 4 years or so is gonna be healthy for us/lakers

Yes, we can, they say. If we’re gonna trade him away without giving him a black eye in the process, it has to be to the NYK or MIA.

If he and Kyrie want to play together again in NY, let’s trade him LBJ to NYK for Zion to NOP for AD to LAL.

Then KD joins.

Lots of teams would want him. Just for the ticket sales.

AD wouldn't want to come here if Le **** is not here - I just don't see that happening. I'd be down for this Zion guy :)

I’m not sure. We’ll see.

Kuzma, Lonzo, Ingram, Hart (and Zu...) are all just growing into their potential. It makes it a perfect destination situation for AD.

When AD is 30, they’ll be 25-28

To assume 26ppg-10rpg-4apg-1spg-1bpg from Kuz in his prime is not a stretch. Ingram? 26-11-8-2-2 isn’t a crazy prediction. Lonzo at 25? I wouldn’t go lower than 22-10-12-3-3 for his ceiling. Hart? 15-12-6-2-2?

None of that is unrealistic. Add AD? Dynasty.

The only thing unrealistic is to assume Klutch would agree to send LeGroin to NY while AD here.

Hire West.

LeBron should sell himself as being ready to cede the role of #1 option to Kawhi. I don’t think he’s at the point where he can carry a team by himself anymore.

What does Brooklyn have to offer besides Russell himself to get Booker there? I would love to see them play together in Brooklyn. Dinwiddie, Kurucs, a ton of picks?
