Lets offer Mr. Irreplaceable. He can dribble (as pictured above), shoot threes (might miss 70% of them but he shoots them!), and plays elite defense (send them some YouTube vids from 2014)
Who says no?
They're probably gonna con SAC into giving up 5 & 10

Don't think they want more picks or young "prospects" but an all-star leader-type.

Aldridge?
Without thinking it twice, but I doubt thr Lakers accept him. Although it is Magic who is in power so...

Lonzo will be the pick when it's all said and done.

I agree. They've been irrelevant from a basketball perspective for a while and they really need drama to draw attention and ratings. If they choose Fox or Jackson it'd be a boring choice, whether it's better or not basketball-wise, but with Lonzo and his dad they'll have all eyes on them, TV games, a million articles, etc. It's a perfect match.
They will take Ball. They are just playing with him and his father.

Chinook.
They are fishing for more picks, particularly a sub-10 pick this year and a first-rounder next year.
They are not going to take any "win now" players from us.

:corn:
Now NBAdraft.com says Boston will pick Josh Jackson with #1 and Lakers will pick Fultz with #2.
Ball falls all the way to Phoenix at 4.
CBS now has Boston taking Fultz #1 but the Lakers going Fox at #2. Ball falls to Philly at 3.
Trade rumors for the first three picks are everywhere.
This will be the most exciting NBA draft ever before the Spurs even show up to the room.

Even better if he offered the #2 without Julian.

If Magic trades the #2 pick plus Randle for the #1 pick, how will Jeannie Buss spin the disaster this time?
She may have to bring back Jim Buss to fall on his sword in a cameo appearance.

Are you high on Randle? I have never seen anything out of him that makes me think they'd be better off holding onto him and drafting the Ball circus instead of getting Fultz.

He's going to be 23 and doesn't shoot particularly well from the field. Energy guy with lots of boards but also fouls. He's also got only one more year under a cheap salary before he's a RFA.
If Fultz is your guy, you deal Randle every time and ask questions later. Just like trading up to take a QB. Might have to overpay on paper but if it works out, who cares? You almost always will have to overpay for a #1 pick.

Randle's a slightly better Mahinmi (sp?).

I think so too. I wasn't even thinking of him getting a big payday soon. That makes it even more of an obvious move. I thought he looked like an amazing prospect in high school, but ever since then he has never even showed a flash of being a star level talent. Contrast to someone like Parker who even my Laker fan friends in LA were saying was going to be a future all-star at age 19 back when he couldn't finish a layup and only shot set shots on the perimeter. But you could see he was comfortable handling the ball and his speed was elite. I don't see anything like that in Randle. I could see Randle as a low-end starter but that's probably his ceiling. He'll have a 12-15 year career but he's not the guy who is going to win you a playoff series.

If the 76ers trade goes down I'd like to trade Green to them for their 2 early second round picks and Rishaun Holmes.

Looks like Philly is getting Fultz anyways. If I'm Boston I make Philly take the contracts of Tyler Zeller, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, and Demetrius Jackson to clear another $15 million or so off their cap number so they can go after Hayward or Blake plus have a few bucks left over to snatch up a nice bench player or two.

I just don't understand how Randle aside, you take another PG when you just burned a top 3 pick on Snitch? I mean, they have to really believe he can play 2 and/or that he's going to be cool being a Ginobili and taking a bench role.

It's like with Jefferson to the Warriors except it opens up capspace too. Aldridge is dead to me ever since he couldn't post up James Harden.

Dude - I know people aren't happy with LMA but it's no where near the RJ situation. LMA still does many things well and there is no Kawhi to replace him if you move him.
LMA as the third banana is a very good thing IMO

No way the Spurs could hoodwink the Sixers like that.

Or moving him. Maybe the deal is Lakers' #2 plus Snitch for the #1 either straight up or with a throw-in.

Agreed. But finding the right #2 banana will be the trick.

Randle is an asset -- 22 years old, 6'9" and scores 13.2 at close to 50% with 8.6 rebounds in 28 minutes/game.
He may not be an all-star but he's not a throw-in. And the Lakers need live bodies with some semblance of potential.
As a Spurs fan, I'd probably take him for anyone other than Leonard.

WTF? I mean, Randle shows flashes but he was a damn top 5 pick you better show flashes. But he can't shoot. At all. Unless he buys in and lives up to his defensive potential he can GTFO of my team.

What we know about LMA is that he can score if he really wants to score. He's much better if he's not the focal point of the offense. I just don't know if he's worth the price. He still will command big dollars and some team will pay it.

Sure, but he's a fixed cost at this point on what is still a reasonable contract in today's dollars. Kick that can down the road a year.
Plus, this is what could be a contract year for LMA so you have to factor in he's probably going to be as focuses as possible (like that attitude or not).

He also shriveled up when Kawhi went down, which was the reason many cited as why he's been underperforming on the Spurs (not being the #1 option).
Meanwhile guys like Simmons and Murray went all out with their increase in minutes.
Hell I even remember scrubs like Rasho going off when our #1 went down in the past (TD)

There are more out there. Some of them can even dribble and make layups.
