Thanks Doc

If the Lakers are really looking at Gordon that's a direct slap in the face to Randle.

My god what are we doing

Randle is really a small ball 5, Gordon due to his range is an effective floor spreading pf. Despite their similar sizes, I don’t think they play similar roles.

Having said that, yeah, I don’t think you can realistically invest big money in both.

Aaron Gordon and Capela is a really good frontcourt. Both are finishers that would work well with Lonzo. Lonzo, Ingram, Kuz, Gordon and Capela. That's a playoff lineup.

Magic be like : "Just shut up and take my money"

Just free agents using the Lakers as leverage. Nothing to see.

..... or plans C and D if we strike out in the Bronstakes.....

Ok keyshawn!

Mcgee: No, headcase, low IQ player, and not a stretch big. Rather let our young bigs play.
Amir: Maybe with 1 yr deal, anything longer, nah.
AG: Nice player but not a max-level salary player (yes, that's the price to pay if you want to pry him away from Magic).

What we did last year was perfect, KCP/BroLo, IT on one year contracts. Can’t help what happened with PG and possibly Lebron. Let’s do it again, showcase our prospects and see if we’re playoff bound this year. Then we can play the capspace game again next year. Guys like AG and Clint are not players we want to lock up long term for major capspace in my opinion.

Edit: or like others have said eat a big contract for a year that’s tied to an asset.

Well the Gordon interest makes a lot more sense now with report that Randle wants out.

Bosh is still only 34, was a Pelinka client, and was around some practices this season.

go get Noel on a cheap deal....this roster needs a legit rim protector.....Lebron and Rich Paul will keep him on task.

Add Clint Capela and Rajon Rondo, call it an off-season.

Ball / Rondo / Hart
Ingram / Hart / KCP
James / Kuzma / Ingram
Kuzma / Wagner / Wear
Capela / Lopez / Zubac

Gordon off the table, glad the agent was able to use the Lakers name to close the deal

now what you guys really need is shooting..

Noels and/or Bosh
