With most major FA's off the board by now, while the Lakers were chasing Klay, I'm curious who Laker fans would like to see picked up on a hypothetical MLE signing and/or trade. Hoping people go with realistic options only. I have to think the FO knew Klay was somewhat of a long shot, but losing out on a guy like Valancunas did kinda hurt. He was pretty high on my list.

i guess id like to see them pickup Derozan, though I'm not sure how many issues that solves. Id like to see them get a center so AD can slide back to the 4. Any names people are potentially excited for?

PS - If a Laker fan having the unmitigated gall to inquire about potential free agents his favorite team could sign makes your blood absolutely boil... maybe just choose a different thread (there are plenty) instead of sending posts like "LAKER FANS THINK EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THEM!!!!!!"
Just a polite suggestion to most likely be ignored

Yeah it's time to call the Bulls.

They have their prize in Bronny. No need for anything else

Stay put.
Do NOT lose picks.
threadmill the year so the hawks dont get a high lotto pick.
Let lebron walk next year ( opt out in his contract) trade davis for 5 or 6 picks and expirings.
Start rebuild in order to have enough assets to Trade for a star later on or try to get a star in fa later on

DeMar? Who knows...

I'm beginning to question exactly what Pelinka gets paid to do.

You got Bronny, what more do you want??

Was about to write this

DeRozan?
LaVine?
Markkenen?
Lopez?
Nothing?
Who knows

I'm considering sending this thread to the Lakers' board since the query is just for laker fans...Don't be surprised if it's moved or locked if it is.

DeMar for Dlo feels possible but I think a trade with Nets for CamJ is the big fish.

Glad they didn’t get Klay, just wasn’t a fan of targeting an injuried/old player.

No idea what the price is, but I’d want them to explore Cam Johnson.

Ive heard Cam Johnson's name brought up but how realistic is that? it would be a great pickup

I mean Lakers fans do think everything is about them. It must be painful for yet another year to go by where no one wants to trade a superstar for Hachimura/Reaves/Russell.

Lebron threw a life line to Pelinka by taking less money if they sign a legit player and Pelinka still can’t get the job done. If this yet another failed off season, Pelinka needs to go. He’s a terrible GM.

I would like them to max out Deangelo Russell.

Lakers put more effort into drafting Bronny than they did in free agency

Well at least Lebron doesn't need to take a pay cut anymore

yea it seems like the Bulls, Lopez, Miles Bridges (God I hope not) are the only guys available unless I'm missing someone

its so indescribably hilarious to me that even after getting out ahead of this type of comment, people like you NEED to say it. its almost like its predictable that literally any time a laker fan wants to talk about any subject, you simply MUST chime in with the same generic comment. Its like a weird nervous tick.

"OH OH Someone brought up the Lakers! Must throw salt over shoulder, recite the alphabet backwards, blink my right eye 3 times, and then say LAKER FANS THINK EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THEM!!!!"

New ownership
