Re: T-16: How many trades will the Lakers make before end of season?
Trades are pretty rare to begin with, and we don't have a lot of assets. If we did a trade it would likely involve multiple pieces. So we'd probably not have a lot to trade once it was all over... So I'm going with one trade...

Re: T-16: How many trades will the Lakers make before end of season?
Oooo... This is a good one. I could see a trade for someone like Lou, or if we could find someone to take Nick off our hands. Also, there's always the possibility of part of the young core getting traded for a more seasoned vet (whether we like it or not).
I don't think any of the young core will be traded this year (too soon). But I could see a Lou or Nick trade. Realistically I say 1 trade. I could see us trading away multiple players in that trade but I agree with what Kilroy said about not having a lot of assets. I'd say 1.

I can see us making two trades. One to move Nick Young with the two picks we got for Calderon and our own 2nd for next year. Another to get an asset in return for Lou around the trade deadline from a team like Memphis, Indy or Dallas.

Re: T-16: How many trades will the Lakers make before end of season?
I wouldn't mind that at all. I think Nick and Lou are the most expendable players on the team. Lou only because he's got value in the trade market. And Nick... Well because he's Nick.
Also itd be nice to add a taller SG to the roster in exchange for Lou or Nick. Both Russ, and JC are 6'5 and Lou is listed at 6'1.

Re: T-16: How many trades will the Lakers make before end of season?
1 traded is possible but not to the extravagant circumstances Slava laid out. The team will try move Nick for any damn scrapes they can get for him. So far they've had no luck and chose not to buy him out, and in all honesty stretching his deal made no sense whatsoever business wise either. But if anyone is off the roster first it will be Nick.

I voted 2, Yi and Nick, although it could be using Yi to get rid of Nick.

Poll's closed. I would have said 1: Lou Williams.
