Luka actively recruiting, bad news for the league

Once Bron is off the books, with the assistance of GM LeLuka, they will likely recruit another star to LA. Possibly Jokic or Giannis if they ask out, just a matter or time for those two. Shai obviously isn't going anywhere. Trading for someone also a possibility with the assets the Lakers have.

Who will be on the roster when the Lakers have the cap space next summer or in 2027?

I predict even more movement come next off season with things boiling over with stars who have been on mediocre teams for too long.

He'll have his pick.

Luka's sidepiece will be Austin Reaves, Lakers should focus on finding him the Lively, PJ and DJJ before looking to upgrade Reaves.

Wow the corpse of Marcus Smart !!! What a coup !
Lol Brook Lopez rejected the Lakers to sign with the Clippers.

Lakers fans back in their full delusional fantasy Island it seems

It’s really strange how often Optms brings up how badly he wants Jokic to go to the Lakers despite telling us for YEARS that Jokic is terrible and overrated

I think they're more than happy with Ayton and Smart over Lopez. Ever since Ayton left the Suns they couldn't get anywhere. Then he was in a bad spot with the tanking Blazers. So i do believe he might surprise a lot of people this year. Smart also said he's healthy and has been working out like a mad man. On a winning team, things can drastically change for certain player.

LMAO at the Booker inclusion. The competitive history alone would make that notion a laugher but what puts it over the top is his contract.

I think Laker fans need to be more worried about Luka resigning than Luka recruiting.

Lebron has his son on the team, Luka can have his too.

Brook Lopez was never the target but carryon.

The OP is an annoying laker troll but Lakers haters should realize the last fifteen years are over. The Lakers have new ownership and will retake control of the sport shortly.

Luka : "come play with me and Lebron next year..., yeah im gonna have the ball for 19 seconds of the clock on 50% of the possessions but THEN Lebron will have it for 18 seconds on the other 50%...but yeah we will pass to you when we are trapped... BUT think about all those good shots you gonna get when we throw you the ball and you wide open!....oh yeah your shots gonna be down...like now you gonna get 6 shots a game vs the 20 you get now with your current team...but they gonna be open shots! PLUS you get to play defense while Lebron and I rest on defense....yeah you gonna need to take a pay cut...and you not gonna get any credit...I am...you can HELP ME get a ring...doesnt that sound great?!?! you will def be considered my sidekick...you cool with that? and then when lebron leaves next year...you will get the ball more...but still you won't get credit for winning a ring"

Not really groundbreaking news, every player who cares about winning actively recruits. For me this is a strong indication that he isn't leaving LA anytime soon. Just a matter of time we lock up prime Luka to a longterm extension.

He’s getting them to sign short term deals so they can all leave together too.

Who will be Luka's sidepiece ?
