I would still send them mc Dermot and a trade exception for their 28 pick and 27 pick swap. This would give them some room to go after another player but if they dont they would still get below the cap giving them savings. I know some will say lakers could care less about the tax but I think all of them care about it but some teams care less then others.
As for the picks. It would give them only giving up one pick. And then if we good we could swap in 27 and 28 (Celtics) in stead of having them both in the same year.
Oh yeah another big man who is in street clothes half the season is the answer to the Lakers problems. Think I'd take Poeltl over Turner if I'm Pelinka, but he took Brick so who knows WTF he's thinking.We got picks (swaps) but we got em.
Andat you tryna force the Spurs to sodomize the Lakers with a ed 14-incher
I'd rather the Indy deal if that's the case
Agree. In a vacuum I would take Poeltl over Turner due to his injury history. At least Jak will provide cover for AD when he misses his 30 games a season. Turner also runs like he's 50.
Are J-Rich + McDermott worth more than Hield? Hard to say. I would take Hield but he's also a below average defender. Not McDermott level bad but worse than J-Rich.
^ truth bombs
J-Rich a chocolate matador on defense too? 1 FRP (2027). Take it or leave it son.
Y'all just keep WB....lolJ-Rich a chocolate matador on defense too? 1 FRP (2027). Take it or leave it son.
Waiting for the Beal-Brick trade.
I’m here in the DC area and desperate to move on from Beal.
At least you acknowledge your unequaled and unfair advantage to reset without having to do it through the draft. It must be good to be king. Meanwhile these peasants will do it the earnest way.Yup, bent over. History tells me whenever the Lakers lose a franchise player, they suck for a while before poaching another disgruntled star from a small market team:
Last Showtime le: 1988. Kareem retired in 1989. Next le: 2000.
Last Shaq and Kobe le: 2002. Next le: 2010.
Last Kobe and MVPau le: 2010. Next le: 2020.
We know Anthony Day to Day Davis is brittle. Bron will be long gone by 2027, let along 2029.
Whoever the Lakers trade those picks to might win the lottery those years. I can't take a chance on that being the Sp*rs
Oddly enough they actually played fairly well together.
The issue is that teams, especially small market teams, too often yields to pressure from the media and the media continuously and unashamedly throw out these lopsided deals for the lakers Knicks and Celtics, then say it’s the small market teams fault for not taking them.
Small markets are oftentimes reliant on the media to help market their team as well so the balance of power is always with the big market teams.
Of course there’s always the issue with small markets not appealing to players and they know the superstars will just leave first chance they get so they trade those players Pennies on the dollar.
The lakers front office would’ve ran the team to the ground in any other market and likely would have the team moved to Seattle by now. Those are a bunch of incompetent dunces
Lakers are dying for shooters. McD could be a good fit. I bet they’d ask for JRich too but I think he could be a late FRP by himself to a contender. But if Spurs want to tank, then get rid of both and take Westbrook plus 2 FRP’s. I think McD and JRich fit Lakers seamlessly and should help them. But boy I’d hate to bail the Lakers out
I'm in the same boat with you there man. I was totally against this trade but now there is a part of me that wants to warmup to the idea.Lakers are dying for shooters. McD could be a good fit.

However, I get a very ill feeling in my stomach when thinking about us bailing out the Lakers . Besides it's just way to fun to watch that clown show
Idk man, the coast might be to great...
Don't look at it as bailing them out....look at it as making sure they're good enough to keep Nola from getting a top 5 pick with the lakers swap they hold.Lakers are dying for shooters.

Soon they would be in each others throat. They could warm up with letting both FRP’s go. Besides JRich and McD are the gunners who they are looking for and will fit with what they have.
- Poeltl, I've been over ad nauseam why he makes no sense for the Lakers.
- McDermott, they're not throwing away their upcoming financial flexibility for and he wouldn't solve their biggest issue anyway which is lack of sizable two-way players.
- Richardson makes a lot of sense for them, but their 1st is most likely going to the Pelicans and rather than accept the two 2nds he'll probably fetch on his own, the Spurs will probably try to pursue a Young redux and package him with their 2nd to get a 1st around 20ish.
Lakers are losing at halftime right now, and their next next 4 games are @Denver, @Minnesota, vs Denver, & vs New Orleans... it's not inconceivable that they start this season 0-7.
Just lost...they're gonna be begging someone to take their picks in about 2 weeks...
I don't think they make the trade with us that I suggested...I think they end up getting less than we could offer... I'm gonna laugh when it happens...
2 weeks from now their season is over if they don't move Westbrook for something. They either need to make a trade this minute to try to salvage the season or just blow it up and see what they can get for Davis and James on the trade market.
The thing is, the more players/contracts they take back, the smaller their TE, the only way they have of getting a high dollar player next summer. They should really only want JRich, but we should insist that they take McD.Lakers are dying for shooters. McD could be a good fit.

I didn’t think the toughest compe ion in the tank race was going to be the Lakers.
If the Lakers continue to go south, I don’t think they trade Russ, I think they release him outright. The only way they trade him is if they are doing somewhat decent. Why trade assets when you already suck?
Westbrook being a Spur would be embarrassing to the Spurs name at this point
Surely the Spurs would buy him out. Can’t see them letting him rot the culture of the young group with his low IQ chucking non-defense brand of basketball.
Sure. 1 FRP for Josh richardsonJ-Rich a chocolate matador on defense too? 1 FRP (2027). Take it or leave it son.
and 1 FRP for taking westbrook off your hands to make it work
