As far as that Suns "trade?" Seems like one guy threw it against the wall hoping it would stick and a couple of others jumped on the bandwagon. I find it hard to believe that none of the big media guys would know anything about this by now. Seems like BS to me.

I've honestly wondered why LA doesn't get more crap for drafting Ball over Tatum. I know that he actually plays and has some talent, but it seems like a pretty big mistake that was obvious before the draft.

He's a decent player, but taking Lonzo out of the LA market could be a huge problem for daddy

I almost want to see this trade happen to to see how daddy reacts to Ball being a sun!

That isn't a drastic enough move. He needs to end up in a place like Cleveland

Was hoping for a better title. Maybe something like "Kawhi me a river"

LAL best offer is Kuzma, Ingram, Hart, Ball, future pick (likely 25-30). Philly and Boston can easily beat that if they are willing.

No, no, no... he needs to be in Minny with Thibs

If the PHX rumors are about anything they are about LAL trying to move Ball somewhere else for an asset (or to get rid of Deng’s contract). If they can squeeze another 1st round pick out of PHX that is more valuable to SAS than Ball.

They can if they include Brown or Tatum (and if KL says he will resigns here which I don't see happening) but it doesn't seem like Ainge wants to include either of then.

This interesting to talk about but I personally don't think the Celtics have as much interest as people on here think.

Could KD be the other player they are trying to get to come to LAL with LeBron and Kawhi? What would they need to do to pull that off? Since this is sourced by Stephan A you have to take some of this with a grain of salt, but still interesting

First off trade for KL then flat out sign KD and Lebron. The thing is I don't see KD ever leaving golden state.

Lebron is in a holding pattern until the Lakers get one star to commit there first.

Sixers could sign Lebron as FA and trade Simmons plus Covington and Heat pick for Kawhi for example. That blows away every other possible LA deal. Then they have Embiid, Saric, Lebron, Kawhi, Zaire/Khyri as starters. Game over for the East and I take that team over GS too with the right vet minimum pieces.

Dad is overrated issue. Lonzo and adult. Once media stops listening to him, it’s over.

As far as Lonzo as a player, not a huge fan because I like shooting, but he is a devastating PG and passer. He is Jason Kidd light.

He isn’t a great shooter. He can turn into one however.

Lebron, KD, and Kawhi? I would break things.

Man I would kill to have Dirk on this team next year. He deserves another shot at a ring. He's the definition of a professional athlete

I'm a huge fan of Dirk, but he is pretty cooked at this point. He is 40 after all.

Lebron isn't going to the sixers unless he knows another stud player will be there with him which is what he did years ago with Love.

I do agree that is a good deal for the Spurs but KL has made it known he wants to play for the Lakers next year so that is going to scare teams off.

Hell I bet if the thunder could take that Geroge trade back they would.
