Man the Suns got over with the Nash Trade. They must be under the gun. I think we have a good chance to get Dragic in the summer.

hahahahahaha phx gm mcdonough trying REAL hard to get a great deal. I say **** these fools, Dragic isn't this acquire or be doomed forever kind of player so my final offer for Dragic would be:

Nash, LAL 2015 2nd Rd Pick and a future 2nd Rd Pick.

They say no, fine no problem. I wouldn't give anymore than that though, I think Dragic's agent Duffy is pushing hard for the LAL. Thats why i think phx is trying to talk to teams NOT on dragic's list but I think it'll come back to Mitch and co as the offers for Dragic must be insanely low

I know that, but I'm just saying their gm would be stupid or Dolan level to come in and not shoot high. Hell it's like a car salesman not asking for at least sticker at the start

If we hold onto the top 5 protect pick, It will be a real miracle. A few wins in the last bit of the season will push the Lakers out of the top 5. Even if we hold onto the pick, someone moves up in the lottery. the pick falls out of the top 5, we loose it.

Next 2 years it is top 3 protected. So would it be that wrong to get it over with this year and not to have to go thru this again next years.

Last year it was top 10 protected.

Oh ya, we still owe a pick to the Magic for the D12 trade. Lakers need to find more assets. We owe more than we really have. Time we pay off all these teams. What will our roster look like. We need to hold onto this pick, might be the last one we have for a few years. Sad. Mitch. Stop trading future for right now. Did not work and we are paying for it now and into the future.

well thing is. we had big time players in howard pau and nash and the problem was, they ate our cap space and walked away leaving us pretty much empty handed. not to mention the failed cp3 trade and a couple of coach changes. it is only until recently that we are beginning to recover from those failures.

I don't remember all the details but if we keep the top 5 pick we owe the magic a 2nd and after a while it says we owe them nothing/extinguished

I'm surprised the suns don't just give us dragic for a 2nd so tlwe are more likely to lose 15 pick

no way the lakers give up a top 5 protected for a 28 year old who just figured out the NBA. I want D'angelo Russell PERIOD!

best I would do is remove the protection next year if we keep the pick this year.

If the Lakers want Dragic this season they might as well give up the protection because Dragic will play the Lakers out of the top 5 pick.

Lakers should not make any moves that better the team this season that might potentially cost them a franchise talent.
