Bill Simmons just floated PG-13, LeBron and John Wall to the Lakers 

Post#1 » by Guest202 » Fri Jul 7, 2017 2:58 am

John Wall turned down the $160M 4 year extension. John Wall is represented by Rich Paul.

Possible? He said everyone in LA knows PG-13 is coming, LeBron feels like a lock... the only question is what other star would they try to lure with them.

Well, LeBron isn't going to Los Angeles for just Paul George. If that scenario presents itself, LeBron probably goes. If the Lakers can clear the cap space without having to give up either Ingram or Lonzo then that would also give the team to more pieces to improve.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Pop decides to coach there and he brings Kawhi with him.

Bill Simmons needs to be drug tested. Lebron and George is one thing, but Wall is still under contract for another two years. The extension is not going anywhere, so him not signing it right away does not mean much.

Wall? George & Westbrook is much more logical. :wink:

Nobody is coming to our team lol. What's the point? to get smoked by the Warriors in the conf finals?.. might as well stay in the east and have a cakewalk to the finals.

Yeah I heard him say that too. It just seems extremely unlikely. You're talking about 2, possibly 3 supermax players. How could the Lakers ever afford that. It is pretty strange though that John Wall is refusing to sign a $40 million dollar per year extension.

For real. If I were a betting man I'd wager Pop never coaches another franchise than the Spurs.

I don't get it... why would they sign Wall to a max or near max contract with Lonzo going into what would be his 3rd season?

Pairing LeBron with star point guards is stupid. Pair him with other wings and a big... with a spot up 3pt shooting PG. Bron needs the ball in his hands. A star PG is a waste and poor fit...
