- Trade Julius Randle, 2019 2nd round pick so that we could get rid of Luol Deng - Maybe to Sacramento since they will have a ton of cap room in 2018.
- Do not sign Lebron James unless he is willing to take a 2 year contract @$35 / season at max
- Go super hard after PG13 - He will be our starting 2. offer 4 year contract @$30 / season
- Go after Boogie first and if it doesn't work out go after deandre Jordan - offer 4 yr @$30 / season
- Go get good role players, preferably good 3 & D type - e.g., Chandler wilson/danny green/trevoz ariza
Our projected lineup (starter / backup)
PG - Ball / Clarkson
SG - PG13 / Clarkson / Hart
SF - BI / ariza / Kumza
PF - Nance Jr / Kumza
C - Boogie / Zupac / Bryant
Solid team. Assuming all our young players continue to progress as they should, I think our team would definitely make the playoffs. 48-24.
Let me know what you think.
The future is bright for the Lakers, the free agency market next summer will be huge for L.A. time to contend again
So many Lakers fans on here! I suspect LeBron will want to sign a short-term deal anyway – possibly a two-year deal with the second year being a player option.
Upvoted and followed! :-)
Very right...I wish they progress continually for success
Ball will need to do for Lakers in year 1 what he did for UCLA in year 1, else LeBron isn't gonna come unless backed by 2 other superstars minimum. So there's no "do. It sign LeBron unless...". Lakers either get PG and another superstar before 2019 season or they don't get LeBron on HIS terms.
