Lakers offseason: $65 mil
Lakers/ Suns
Lakers trade: Clarkson (S&T) and #2 pick
Suns trade: Devin Booker

Sign Harrison Barnes to a max contract ($44 mil)
Sign Whiteside to a max contract ($23 mil)
Sign Ryan Anderson 4 year/ $80 mil ($3 mil)
Resign Huertas 2 year/ $6 mil
PG: Russell/ Huertas
SG: Booker/ Williams
SF: Barnes/ Nance
PF: Anderson/ Randle
C: Whiteside/ Black

This will be Russell's team. A pick and roll of Russell/ Whiteside with snipers behind the arc will be deadly. Thoughts?

Are you freaking high!? Clarkson and the #2 Pick for Devin Booker is like someone saying if you give me $5 i'll hand you over the keys to my brand new ferrari.


2.) 14 Mar 2016 10:14:45
Maybe Booker, Warren, Len and 2nd round pick.


3.) 14 Mar 2016 10:43:36
I don't think anyone will offer that much for Booker and I don't think the Suns will trade Booker.


4.) 14 Mar 2016 12:36:03
Lol really.


5.) 14 Mar 2016 13:49:44
I do like the combination of booker and Russell.


6.) 14 Mar 2016 14:41:15
um, lei. are you high? are you claiming the lakers are getting too much out of this? Sorry, booker is great. he is not projected higher than simmons or ingram. He just isnt. Very close potentially to ingram, but ingram still has the edge. But you don't claim it is a little off, or close. you say it is high way robbery. as if booker has established himself among he legends of the game already.


7.) 14 Mar 2016 16:47:20
Bball guru

Booker and Ingram are not in the same ball park potential wise. Booker can shoot. So what. So can Kyle korver. Booker can't be a star because he lacks the other parts of an NBA game. Like defense and dribbling.

Ingram has much more potential.


8.) 14 Mar 2016 17:47:30
I don't think there is much difference there, Ingram is also known only as good shooter for now.
Thing is, both of them have ample room to grow (Booker started showing, averaging almost 4 APG since All Star), on offense and defense. If anything, Booker has proven himself in NBA while Ingram still has to.
But this deal doesn't make sense from different point of view - Suns have #3, and will use it on Brown (as they hope to get Davis or Rabb later, and fill PF position; after first three, there isn't many good SF's in draft, Luwawu maybe, but it is bigger difference between him and Brown, than Bender and Davis - at least I think so) ; having given up Booker (SG) to draft Ingram (another, long term SF) isn't good for PHX in my opinion.
If they move anybody, it will be Knight or Bledsoe (Knight in my opinion, has more value due to Beldsoe being injured, but isn't that useful as team player, and Bledsoe is more of a PG than him)
And is bad for LAL since they give up two assets for one.


9.) 14 Mar 2016 18:26:20
Tre, i was in NO way agreeing with Lei. I was saying best best best case scenerio they could kinda be considered along the same value. I think it is a flat out joke that he considers him that value. i'd throw Booker in the 5-10 area in this draft. Better than he went last year, but no chance in hell top 2. Ingram is so much more diverse and the potential is so high, it was just hysterical that he was claiming giving up booker was getting robbed. I am in FULL agreeance with you on here.

If lakers get #1 and Sixers #2
Lakers trade: #1 pick
Sixers trade: #2 pick and Embiid

Its a high risk high reward for lakers.

Lakers0795

1.) 20 Feb 2016 09:51:43
No it is not. Simmons is high reward.


2.) 20 Feb 2016 15:16:00
Embiid is too high of a risk.

Lakers offseason:
Draft Ingram #2
Sign Whiteside and Harrison Barnes to a max contract (If Warriors match offer, sign Batum to something close to a max)
PG- Russell
SG- Clarkson
SF- Barnes or Batum
PF- Randle
C- Whiteside
6th- Ingram (Gives him a full season to get accustomed to the NBA and develop his body

- Championship contender but it will take 3-5 years and all players must live up to their potential.

Lakers0795

1.) 19 Feb 2016 16:42:44
DOn't know if that's Championship but its a good core group of players.


2.) 19 Feb 2016 16:48:26
Yeah, this would be lovely, but not realistic and also not a championship contender.

Whiteside needs to be positioned with a PF that can play strong defense. Because he is so block focused, he needs a defensive PF to cover his mistakes. Randle is NOT that guy. Randle is an inefficient scorer and a TERRIBLE defender.

I also don't see Russell and Clarkson realistically developing into game changing, franchise guards.

Would they be a fringe playoff team, perhaps. But I mean, you are saying they need 3-5 years to develop. You really think Batum and whiteside would be championship level players and performing as they do now when they are around 32 and 31 respectively? It doesn't make sense.


3.) 19 Feb 2016 17:16:26
I believe russel can get to that level, he has a lot of finess and great size, lot of room to grow. Everything else, I agree completely.


4.) 19 Feb 2016 21:51:54
Randle is averaging a double double as a rookie (played 1 game last season) and off raw talent. Imagine what he can do once he develops a jump shot and right hand? As for the defense, we are dead last this season in defensive efficiency so the only way we can go is up :) and we won't need Batum and Whiteside to be playing at an all star level in 3-5 years as long as our young players live up to their potential.


5.) 20 Feb 2016 00:43:07
Tristan Thompson can average a double double as well if given those minutes. Inefficient pf scoring with limited range and horrific defense is an issue. Especially if paired with whiteside.


6.) 20 Feb 2016 03:17:37
Tristan Thompson:
2011-2012 2012-2013 2013-2014
- 23.7 minutes - 31.7 minutes - 31.6 minutes
- 8.2 points - 11.7 points - 11.7 points
- 6.5 rebounds - 9.4 rebounds - 9.2 rebounds

2014-2015 2015-2016
- 26.8 minutes - 28.3 minutes
- 8.5 points - 7.9 points
- 8.0 rebounds - 9.5 rebounds

Julius Randle:
- 27.3 minutes
- 11.1 points
- 10.0 rebounds.


7.) 20 Feb 2016 22:44:46
Hahaha ok big guy. Here's one that isn't 1 pt off. Kris humphries? Oh and what happens to be the shooting percentages and he blocks/ steals totals?


8.) 20 Feb 2016 22:46:59
I'll help ya. 2010. 10pts 10.5 boards. Also over 1 block and shooting over 52%.

But I guess that doesn't strengthen your argument. My guess. Randle is an 8th man in 3 years. If that.


9.) 20 Feb 2016 22:52:30
Hahahahah I just read your original comment. Imagine when he develops a jump shot and learns to use his right hand? What so he's going to be doing 3rd grade basketball drills to learn to dribble with his right hand? You are absurd. You can tweak a shooting motion, not learn it. And as far as the right hand. That's beyond laughable.

Lakers/ Suns

Lakers trade: Julius Randle and 2nd round pick (32nd)
Suns trade: Devin Booker and TJ Warren

- Lakers need to build the team around Russell and surround him with shooters

Draft Ingram
Sign Whiteside to a max contract
Sign Ryan Anderson for $48 mil over 4 years
PG: Russell - Clarkson
SG: Booker - Williams or FA
SF: Ingram - TJ Warren
PF- Anderson - Nance
C- Whiteside - Black or FA

Could you imagine a Russell/ Whiteside pick and roll while having snipers to space pun the floor.

Lakers0795

1.) 17 Feb 2016 15:46:19
Suns hang up.


2.) 17 Feb 2016 15:48:38
Andersons also going to make way more than 12 per year.


3.) 17 Feb 2016 15:52:09
Suns would pass, Anderson gets more.


4.) 17 Feb 2016 16:28:57
Suns like both Booker and Warren. no way they'd do this.


5.) 17 Feb 2016 16:47:35
How about Randle for Booker straight up?


6.) 17 Feb 2016 18:50:16
I'd say more likely Randle for a lottery protected first. He has no where near the value you give him. Inefficient scorer and horrific defense doesn't equate to getting a top prospect from this past draft.


7.) 17 Feb 2016 19:44:05
Are you serious? I'm overvaluing him? He's essentially a rookie (played 14 minutes last season before getting injured) averaging 11 and 10 shooting 42% from the field in 27 minutes and he's our 3rd or 4th option. Could you imagine what he can do if he is the focal point of an offense? The ONLY reason I make this trade is cause he doesn't fit well with Russell and Booker is the type of shooting guard we need cause he can space the floor. This would be a steal for the Suns.


8.) 17 Feb 2016 20:19:05
Your name explains this terrible trade in a nutshell.

1.) 17 Feb 2016 07:10:22
Bad for suns!


2.) 17 Feb 2016 13:12:54
Booker will be the best player out of everyone here and you think he's only worth Clarkson and Nance?


3.) 17 Feb 2016 16:31:13
Even the "management challenged" Suns laugh at this. before hanging up.

Lakers/ Knicks/ Clippers

Lakers trade: Russell, Randle and Nance
Lakers receive: Griffin
- This gets lakers the superstar they've wanted to attract free agents (Durant, Derozan, Whiteside, etc)
PG- Clarkson
SG- Derozan
SF- Ingram
PF- Griffin
C- Whiteside

Knicks trade: Carmelo
Knicks receive: Russell, Randle and Nance
- Knicks don't have any future draft picks so they can acquire 2 solid, young starters with all star potential and build around Russell, Randle and Porzingis
PG- Russell
SG- Afflalo/ FA
SF- Nance?
PF- Randle
C- Porzingis

Clippers trade: Griffin
Clippers receive: Carmelo
- Clippers are in win now mode and that obviously hasn't worked out well with Griffin, so they get another Superstar SF to help get them get the championship they've been chasing
PG- CP3
SG- Reddick
SF- Carmelo
PF-?
C- DJ

Thoughts?

Lakers0795

1.) 10 Feb 2016 17:36:20
I think NY rather trade for Griffin.
And the Clippers shouldn't trade Griffin unless they receive another young star.


2.) 10 Feb 2016 18:24:32
Agreed, not sure why people think the knicks will help faciliate a griffin trade by giving up melo and getting a lesser package in return. IF the knicks traded melo, it would be for griffin. and they would keep griffin and build off the nucleus of Porzingis and Griffin.

@knicksalltheway First of all why tf are you mentioning me? But now that I'm here, let me break it down for you.

Like the Knicks, we have played like rubbish all year, like the Knicks we are going to miss the playoffs again, BUT unlike the Knicks we actually have a 40% chance to get a top 3 pick as you kindly stated.

So if we get the #3 pick we can draft Bender or Brown, not as good as Ingram or Simmons but still a valuable asset/ prospect

Now if we lose the pick, we will still have 3 young, talented players to build around in Russell, Randle, and Clarkson while also having over $60 million in cap space this offseason (most in the NBA)

Now what I find "personally funny" is all the rubbish you have been talking when your team is as rubbish as ours.

Please be more realistic. I really doubt we will land a superstar in his prime for Ingram.

Do you really think you can get a prime Paul George for a declining Carmelo?

Yes we've won 11 games but at least our losses will give us another top young prospect in Ingram or even Simmons, while all the losses you guys are piling up are just making you guys even less attractive to free agents. You say Clarkson is only averaging 2 assist, but you don't realize that our horrible coach has an offense centered around Kobe taking 20-25 shots per game and just uses Russell and Clarkson for catch and shoot.

Randle is a beast and anybody who disagrees doesn't know basketball. He is shooting "just" 42% from the field, but he's raw and will improve his jump shot and finishing ability especially with his right hand. You say his rebounding is luck? That's just stupid. He fights off opposing big man for offensive and defensive boards. We can agree on one thing though, his defense is atrocious and I don't see it getting any better, but at the same time all the blame can't go to him when Hibbert can defend a pick and roll what so ever and Kobe just decides not to play any defense and let's opponents get to the rim.

It's hasn't even been a year, and I still feel like Russell can be the best (or second best cause towns is a monster) player in his draft. As i stated earlier he's used as a catch and shoot player so he can't show his true potential, YET. You say we aren't building for the future but we have 3, possibly 4 young studs and a ton of cap room, while you have Porzigis and a declining Camelo with bad knees making max money. And not once did you see me mention anything about our glory days lol all I did was mention your championship drought LMFAO.
