Such a 76ers offer.

And the MIA 1st.

And that seems like a pretty good offer. Covington could be flipped to any team needing an elite 3&D guy, and Saric IMO is right up there with Ingram in terms of being a prospect (I'd have Ingram slightly higher).. I'd take this offer over Ingram/Kuzma/Deng any day of the week though

all Lakers suck, they are huge overrated!

By this time next week the Lakers will have Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and LeBron James and the GB will still think the team sucks.

Brace yourself, though.

Amazing.



Exactly. The guy had a 13.8 PER last season and his usage % (basically how many offense possessions he’s used in) is the same as Ben Simmons... in other words, he’s doesn’t need shoot it much. He’s a nice young player (only 20) whose selling point right now is his potential, but people on this board speak of him like he’s the next Kawhi. He’s not.


Lakers fans spent the last year fantasizing about getting LBJ while finishing with 35 wins with Ball/Ingram/Kuzma... now when the time comes to actually make a move to get LBJ... wait a minute what about how good Ingram is though? lololol FOH


This is a false narrative. I posted about a few poll results during the regular season that showed Laker fans were actually split about 50/50 on signing Lebron.

If the Sixers pull off Saric+Covington+Miami 2021 and get Kawhi (my gut says Zhaire would get thrown in at the end to make it go through), then they have to be in the catbird seat for LeBron.

2018-2019 Philadelphia 76ers:
Ben Simmons
Markelle Fultz
Kawhi Leonard
LeBron James
Joel Embiid

Great offer they can have Smith if it's necessary to get the deal done. No Fultz.

The Lakers will have to trade both Ball and Ingram. They were stupid for not including Deng with Russell in the first place.

Our dumb front office would have still done the Mozgov Dwight swap. Dallas would have defintely took Dwight for pure cap and an asset.

Ball would still probably have to go out but the Lakers could’ve gotten positive value for him instead of having to attach him to Deng.

As a Laker fan all I care about is keeping Kuzma. Don't care about anyone else on the team. But, I would like to see them keep their draft picks too.

That's one of the reasons these haters exist is because even in the lottery the Lakers are probably more relevant than their team. We have reports that Kawhi wants to be here. PG13 just played with Westbrook and Melo and is still 50/50 according to some reports about him coming here. There's rumors LeBron wants to come here. All these other fans down playing and hating on the Lakers talking about their teams offers are better and what not. That's cool but I don't see these types of stories swirling around their teams, and they're nervous as hell. They think the Lakers may actually pull this off that's why they are doing all that unnecessary posting about the Lakers.

Leonard telegrapfhing that LA is the only team he will sign a contract to is going against the Lakers. The lower the trade value the more teams are involved. Sixers are prepared to make an offer with LeBron potentialy coming also. To much value eaven for one season.
