Trade and free agency speculation

If Lonzo is so great, why does Lebron not want him?

Why do the Lakers want to trade him after his rookie season, on his rookie deal?

**** the Lakers, let's stop them from getting any ACTUAL superstars like Lebron or K. Leonard.

Roll with our guys and beat them 4 times this year.

Something like this?

Then the Lakers sign Bron and George and a league record minimum deals

Are you **** serious?

This could sink our rebuild, all the Ball drama.

So we don't want a core of

Ball, Booker, Jackson, Bridges, Ayton

because of Lavar?

That would be the best young core in the NBA.

We are going to have a hard enough time paying for our four players in four years. Sarver didn't want to pay for a max Amare, Joe Johnson, and Marion with a reasonable deal on Nash. The core is going to be three of Booker, Jackson, Ayton, and Bridges. Unlikely we will be able to keep all four unless Jackson or Bridges turn into just role players. Booker and Ayton max for sure.

I see this as the bigger problem there is no way to keep that young core together long term, however I dont see Bridges as a Max or near Max type of player he is more of a glue guy but that probably still means 12-15 mil a year... so it gets tough quick. Thats why Bender or Chriss is good to have around probably mid level type guys that still have a ton of upside going into their next contracts.

Not sure how Sidery is getting to $40M with Booker's extension included and TJ on the roster. The most I've been able to get us to is $30M, and that's after waiving/renouncing Dudley, Chandler, Sauce, Ulis, Reed, Peters, and Harrison and stretching Knight.

This is how I see the pieces falling for the big names.

Lakers - Lebron and PG13

Durant stays in GS.

Kawhi to Boston.

Because if you have a chance to get Lebron Kawhi PG13 you do it . No matter what you have to give up

Apparently Doug & Wolf show said that "within the next week" Lavar ball will have a son that plays for the Suns (hopefully not Liangelo)

Happy to read this is not the Suns

Read on Twitter

This would mean Thad Young will be renounced, Al Jefferson waived and I wonder if a PG could be had cheaply

I'd love ball on this team.
