Right, it would have to be a last resort assuming they came up empty on a max player, and NO sent AD elsewhere. At that point regardless of what the trade looked like I think most would be disappointed.

Klay that would not happen as a LA Laker. Lot more recognition here

C'mon dude. You know that's a pre-school way of evaluating a player.
Ingram is below average in several different metrics, including VORP, BPM, OWS, PER. He regressed from last season. He's not durable. He doesn't have the value you and other Lakers' fans think he does.
Beal is like, twice the player.
Would you like me to remind you Beal's stats at 21 years old. TGW wrote:LAKESHOW wrote:4 and BI for beal? Whos sellin this stuff? The washington post?
LOL the Wizards wouldn't even take that terrible package. Ingram is a bust and the 4th pick in a two man draft is basically no better than a mid-lottery pick.

I find it shocking that some here want to use that precious projected 19 Mil cap space on a center like Horford or Marc Gasol etc when they had McGee for 2.3 mil with a PER of 21.8. His stats per 100 possessions are actually higher than Al Horford. I am not saying he is better than Al but the impact of a wing player or a PG is must more than a center right now.The past champs GSW, the past Cavs, the Spurs with the very old Duncan and other finalists have not relied heavily on centers. Even the teams that are still playing right now in the East. Yes, Brook, Gasol and Ilyasova had 1-2 bright moments, but mostly it's the wing players and SFs who are stamping their mark on the games, from Kawhi, Giannis, Siakam, Middleton, Lowry etc etc. Portland lost Nurkic and still went to the WCF as compared to teams who had the best big men like the TWolves, Sixers, Spurs, Nuggets etc. Drummond, D'Andre Jordan used to be tigers on the defensive end, blocking shots and rebounding etc and yet, their effect on teams are hardly felt the past 3 years. Not a few were furious when the Lakers traded Zubac and yet Rivers chose to sit him too at very long periods of time.
For 19 Mil, If I am the Lakers, I would retain Mcgee for hopefully 4 Mil, use about 5-7 Mil preferably on Beverley, having Collison as fall back, both play good defense with a pretty good career above 38% from the 3pt area and 8 million on another 3 &D player like Danny Green 45.5% from the 3pt area, VORP OF 2.7, BPM of 2.9 last season or Wes Matthews career ave of 38.2% from the 3pt area.

Vucevic is the play with that money tbh.
McGee is not good, he has nice energy stats but his impacts stats are really bad, ranked 63 of 72 Centers in the league.

I am not saying Vucevic is a bad player but I would be hesitant to give most of the precious $ on a center who has relatively less impact than a wing player. The guy has good regular season stats but was barely effective in the playoffs registering 11 pts, 8 rebs at 36% FG%, ranked 38th DRTG, 23rd in ORTG, 34th in NETRTG for just centers. The teams like GSW and other clubs that went deep the past several years have relied less on centers as compared to wing players.
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team
