  2. The lakers are really 3 solid players behind OKC and the spurs! Also is it possible to get Rob Williams Peyton and kelar ware and Kelly while resigning rui and smart?

  3. Here's an option for a new lineup. I did the numbers and needs:

    Luka
    LeBron
    Rui
    Jaxson
    Kennard
    Smart
    Bronny
    Adou
    Nick Smith

    Add:
    Quentin Grimes
    Peyton Watson
    Robert Williams, III
    Mitchell Robinson

    Bonus:
    There is still money for another piece making $15M a year

  6. Who in his healthy mind thinks that 42 year old should get 60 million dollars and get the team anywhere? Keeping LeBron means another year of Luka's prime wasted.

  7. im fucking high on this kid!! even before the draft night.. i hope to get it.. but shit happend. i hope this time we can get him. ill trade hachimura + DK +1st round+pick swap.
