We likely don't have the assets and as long as we don't throw away the pick or Randle, I'd be happy to get him. Pretty good player when healthy.

Look what my sources just told me:

"Lakers interested in pursuing Kevin Durant, but likely don't have enough assets."

Wow, my source is awesome.

Why would anyone be short of assets for him? He's always injured....

Center who averages 6 boards? Honestly rather draft a C w HOUs #20 and let him split minutes 50-50 w Hill, see what happens with him. Black and Sacre are signed next year too. Lots of trade bait.

Lopez is injury prone. He would be perfect to keep the doctors and trainers busy when Nash retires.

Naw, pass that plate to some other fool. In 5 years B-Lo will be getting dunked on by the likes of Okafor, Towns, Cauley-Stein and a host of other young guns. He simply can't stay healthy.

Yeah, no thanks. It's naive, but I would lose all hope in this organization if they trade for this fool.

Unless it is for Nash and some minor asset - but it appears the going rate is Stephenson so... we are probably in the clear.

To the people moaning about his health, that's the only reason he's available. A 7 ft center with good post game and above average defense is pretty hard to find for his price tag.
