"poo poo platter"

How can someone report that crap with a straight face?

“We could give up Kuzma and keep the #4 overall pick!” We sure it isn’t just Laker fanboys sending this crap out?

Among the current young Lakers, New Orleans covets Kuzma the most.

Lets be honest. For 29 other teams it would be a rental. For the Lakers it would be getting AD + an extension. I can't see it as a rental for them.

Why would they be hellbent on Kuzma when they're already getting BI?

Why don’t the Pelicans want the 4th pick?

Seems to me their making the same mistake with Zion they made with AD where there trying to go all in and win right away instead of being patient and building through the draft.

[Ganguli & Turner] And though the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics have inquired about Davis, neither team is willing to gut its roster for the multi-skilled forward because both believe it would leave them without a strong enough team by having sent out so much talent.

Okay fine. Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma. Pick two and Lakers keep the other one. But you better pick two because you will NOT get all three. This is your best offer. Knicks' young players suck and Boston won't give up Tatum + Brown

please trade him to LA pleeeeeaaaase

and I love that there is potential to keep either Kuzma or the pick

I’m prepared to be disappointed though

Agreed.

Actually an interesting idea... if Danny loved Garland, would be a good way to replace Kyrie and balance the roster a little.

But we all know Danny is in a win win position. He either gets AD or her gets LA to pay higher price.

While I worry about Pelinka's ability to build a team, I don't doubt his negotiation skills. Maybe he can see through the posturing and gamesmanship and stick to his guns.

if lakers get away with kuzma + 4 that'll be a steal.

You are still under the impression that the Pels have to trade Davis at all, let alone to LA.

LA is not going to stand pat on their current roster for another season to make it to the 2020 offseason, so if they want AD they need to pony up.

How could this be? I thought the Lakers' young core is trash? Kung Fu Diop even nicknamed him "Kyle Losema". Are the Pels really sure they want him? :-?

I don't think they can get that high end of a star player with just that 4th round pick. Id much rather keep that 4th round pick, and try and build a young team around Zion. Even struggling next year really isn't the worst thing, they have their own pick, just means another high end prospect to add in. I think NO should go all out on a youth rebuild around Zion, that means I think they should be looking to flip Holliday as well.

Well they do have attendance problems. If you get Zion and also field a competitive team simultaneously it helps the bottom line. Also every draft is risky. Bird in the hand & all that.
