5 reasons to go get Lonzo Ball

[Beenie]

- His trade value may never be this low again

- He's on his rookie contract for the next 4 years

- Miami is in no position to contend now

- Dragic's trade value has likely peaked and will only recede moving forward

- Lonzo Ball, like it or not, sells tickets and would give the team national interest

In before iggie gets here

id rather get rid of Hassan than Dragic.

I say we need to target players like Lonzo for trades, considering next 3 years of NBA is wash with what golden state have.

If his dad can shut up and not collude then Ball, Deng and Kuzma for Dragic and the Johnsons would be fair.

I don't care for him, but getting a young prospect would be nice. Could have been ours had we properly tanked that year anyway...

The Lakers are reluctant to include Kuzma in a package to acquire Kawhi. That's one of many reasons to think Mia would have next to no shot at extracting him from LA.

Let's see what the Spurs do. But Lakers can be patient w Kahwit since hes going to LA in the summer.

That's the central point. Acquiring young talent on a rookie contract while shedding older players and their bigger contracts who likely won't be part of the long term plan.

... and how do you suppose we do that? What can we give the Lakers that they would take for him?

By helping the Lakers get Kawhi:

This works:

Mia - Ball, Mills

LA - Kawhi

SA - Ingram, Kuzma, Dragic, Waiters

Doesn't look like that trade works under the current CBA

Everlasting peace in the Middle East is more likely.
