The previous thread. Doing a quick scan, there's a few who predicted Russell/Clarkson/Kobe/Julius.. I don't think I saw anyone get the starting 5 right. Also, Lou Williams seemed to come completely out of left field. Not one person predicted him from what I saw.

So, I will go with...

(From a Lakers thinking)

PG: D'Angelo Russell
SG: Courtney Lee
SF: Evan Turner
PF: Julius Randle
C: Festus Ezeli

with..

Nance, Clarkson, Ingram, Speights, Williams off the bench.

I rather root for the kings than see those signings come to fruit

Not saying I don't agree. I'd be okay with those as long as we don't overpay.

Ezeli: 10-12M.
Evan Turner: 12-14M
Courtney Lee: 8-10M
Speights: 6M

I think we'll waste some time on Durant. We'll try to sign Horford but he'll go to Boston or Houston. Bazemore will get passed over because he'll command more than we're willing to pay.

I think it'll be either Evan Turner or Marvin Williams on the wing.

No offense but that is actually the worst thing the lakers can do...

Hmm.. I don't even know how this one is going to go. Last year I atleast got 3/5 starters correct.

Clarkson - Lou - Levert
Russell - Afflalo
Crabbe - Ingram - Brown
Randle - Nance - Kelly
Mozgov - Black - Sacre

Record: 32-50

I think this is certainly possible with only Ezeli and Ian Miahinmi being the additions to the team.

That leaves us with a crap ton of cap space, about 35M. If we strike out, I almost think a trade for Derrick Rose, sinking him into our cap space and acquiring a draft pick next year would be something the Lakers would risk. Rose is only a one year deal.

I could only pray. God, I would be the happiest Laker fan ever if that happened.

My pipe: consider a stretched Nick Young and Clarkson stating he's ok coming off the bench

G Russell / Clarkson / Huertas
G Ingram / L.Williams / Clarkson
F Durant / Bazemore / Brown
F Randle / Nance
C Horford / Black / 32nd pick (Maker perhaps?)
