Sucks but Wiggy was right when we were on Fan Nation, we've been losing longer than I thought we would.

ill pretty much guarantee if LeBron goes to LA that Ball will be shortly shipped out for a veteran that can shoot.
of course not--- and i think Ball is a solid player--- but his shooting is awful and in order to be the player that he should be he needs the ball in his hands.Has Ball finished developing as a player?
I can see what you are implying, but alot of people thought Harden/Paul couldn’t coexist.
hypothetically---- trade Ball for McCollum---- trade Ingram for Gasol....not that itwould work since you cant have 5 max players -but---If James comes to LA, trade you Ball for Hill and that Nets pick.

Exactly....lolIf I'm his agent, I'm telling him, "you should just shut up now". lol
I think Rondo is his floor.I think Ball well develop into a good NBAer. But if I was a Lakers fan I'd be worried about his more than lousy .451 FT%. That's pathetic for a PG. And if he can't greatly improve on that he'll be a liability on the court during close games.

PG- McCollum
SG- George
SF- LeBron
PF- Kuzma
C- M. Gasol
All right- i could see that team playing iwth the Warriors no doubt
Exactly....lol
I don't think LeBron and George are gonna be the only guys the Lakers target.
But, along with Kawhi, they will be top of the list.
If KCP isn't being reasonable, Avery Bradley would be a good replacement.
I just see a ton of teams that have better young talent then the Lakers
The LAkers dont have their Ben Simmons or Giannis yet--- they prob. dont even have their Jokic or Booker or Wiggins.
For you to say they will win 50 games is nothing but pure rampant speculation.
Would you take Ingram and Ball and Kuzma over Jokic, Murray and Harris + lotto pick? of course not
would you take Ingram Ball and Kuzma over Booker, Jackson and high lotto pick (ayton, doncic or bagley) -- of course not
would you take Ingram and Ball and Kuzma over Mitchell and Gobert? of course not
would you take Ingram, Ball and Kuzma over Towns, Butler and Wiggins? of course not
and you can debate this one- but id take DSJ and say Jackson or BAmba over ingram and ball.
there are a ton of teams in the West that have some really good young players and if you are being objective i cant see how you would take the Lakers young guys over quite a few other teams young guys.
There is no way Boogie does that.With that injury, he might be willing to sign a 2-3 year deal worth 36-54 million. Basically, 18 mill per year and still sign another deal when this one's over and he's proven he's back.
There is no way Boogie does that.
You gotta remember he's still smarting over missing out on that 200 mil Super Max.
Coming off injury, he's gonna want long-term security.
@Wamu i respect the kid for being a good guy and dealing with all his dads bullshit--- hes a great passer- works hard--- works the boardsI think Ball well develop into a good NBAer. But if I was a Lakers fan I'd be worried about his more than lousy .451 FT%. That's pathetic for a PG. And if he can't greatly improve on that he'll be a liability on the court during close games.
Individually, no. They aren't as good as those players aside from maybe Phoenix and and Dallas.
But, 2 things. You conveniently left off Randle who they will surely keep if they don't bring in 2 stars, and the sum of the parts is a lot greater than the whole because of Lonzo Ball. That is something I can't say about any of those teams you listed except Utah.
And I said 45-50. There is a range there that again you conveniently left off to better your argument. I will bet that at least 2-3 teams you listed ahead of LA are rebuilding by 2021. Things change and all. Especially at the bottom of the playoff bracket.
Agree with everything, sans Denver.Yes
Probably
Rondo was also awesome at getting to the basket--- Rondo is another guy who is a terrible outside shooter- but he made his career off of his great ability to finish at the basket......he shot 41.8% his rookie year from the field, 20.7% from 3, and 64.7% from the line.I think Rondo is his floor.
Rondo shoots a career 63%.
