Just got 2 free tickets from my uncle for the Pistons game tomorrow. Seats 104 row 13. Sell them or go to the game? Haha

That would make like a solid half week without having a player with a family massive ego driving their decisions.

Idk how credible this dude is tbh, but I wouldn't be "shocked" by this and to a certain extent I would even understand the thought process, but what's next in the 2nd year PG musical chairs game we would be playing? Talking to Philly about packaging DSJ for Markelle Fultz? Lol

Personally I would prefer to keep Frank just due to the fact that he would be a perfect player to have with guys like Kyrie and KD albeit no guarantee we get those guys

He and Tommy Dee are in the "least credible people of all time" hall of fame. You can safely ignore this.

I have seen him posted a couple times and have never really heard of him. Didn't know he was on a similar level as the infamous Tommy Dee :rofl:

Yeah, RR posts these things a lot so I wouldn't take it seriously. He comes up with some crazy ones at times.

I'm surprised there hasn't been talks of the Pelicans trying to get Jrue shipped too

You realize that those guys lost to our Knicks and Cavs back to back this year? Ball/Ingram/Kuzma equal mediocrity

It's only what, 2 million more?

I think we can safely eat that

As much as I like Frank, if it's straight up him for Lonzo, that's a good deal for us. Just think it's an awkward fit with DSJ, but eh f*ck it

Randolph isn't reliable at all though

Hmm maybe KD is willing to give up his max for a chance to play with Lonzo. NOT.

Yes it eats into our money

yea this is why the number 1 pick has to be included to get AD .

Lance Thomas
Mitch Robinson
Kevin Knox
Frank Ntilikina
2019 1st from NY Draft( Zion or Morat or Barret)
2021 1st from Dal
2022 1st from NY

Wut?

Sounds like the Lakers are giving up the farm for a year and a half of AD.

I get that Ingram is playing well and young but in no universe is this guy close to Durant. He’s a Durant genetic mutation. Kuzma also a good player but not tons of ceiling.

I think their offer is good but overrated. We can at least make them think. They’re getting a bag of Mirotic/Randle level guys. With ours they at least get a high lottery pick they could convert big on.

Quick maths, my guy

74 million in cap space this summer

-3 million for Lonzo = 71 million

KD's max = 38 million

Kyrie's max = 32 million

38 + 32 = 70 million

So we should be able to offer maxes to both, or be within 1 million between the two of them. Which we could probably get pretty easily if we absolutely had to

Sorry, guys I shouldn't have posted anything from Robert Randolph. Just couldnt help myself and thought we could all laugh together

I think if we get the number 1 pick we wouldn't have enough for 2 maxes so either Frank or DSJ has to go or Trier and Dotson are sent out for nothing.... Macri talked about it on his podcast with KT.

Lonzo's salary next year is 8.7 according to Hoopshype and Frank's is 4.8.

If we were to get number 1 next year we'd have to move Trier and Dot to fit KD and Kyrie in addition to losing Frank for Lonzo. That kills a lot of our depth

I just don't think it would happen until we know for sure what our cap situation with our pick is or Frank is getting moved for an expiring and a future asset...

EDIT: let me know if my CBA knowledge is faulty here though lol

If the Lakers would be looking for a PG after trading Lonzo and Rondo, I know just the guy who I'd be willing to give them for a second rounder :rofl:
