    The Los Angeles Lakers are projected to have a league leading $65.8 million in cap space in the summer of 2016, enough to theoretically sign three players to near max deals. The crown jewel of that free agency class is Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who is currently averaging 27.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists while shooting 52.7% from the field in his return from a foot injury that cost him most of last season.

    Many would characterize re-signing in Oklahoma City or going back to his hometown of Washington D.C. to play for the Wizards as more likely options for Durant than joining a young purple and gold roster headlined by Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson, and D'Angelo Russell, but that has not stopped many Lakers fans from hoping Durant decides to become the Lakers' next superstar this summer.

    Just an innocent dinner between two friends? Or an early recruitment pitch? Most likely the former, but there is nothing to stop Kobe from extolling the virtues of the city of Los Angeles to his good friend KD, right?

    Adam Levine, fire up the free agency pitch!

    Almost $66 million in cap space. The Pick! looks like it's staying in LA next year. They could sign 3 max players? Give me KD, Boogie, _____, a top 3 pick - plus our young guns to fill out our bench!

    Cully was Spot on..Kobe jumped the gun on his retirement announcement..of he keeps playing like this and we keep losing I say he should come back...

    These are the changes we need to make to be in le contention next year...

    Fire Byron and hire either Kevin Ollie, Jeff Van Gundy , or Tom Tibbs....

    Get rid of Sacre's worhthles sorry ass
    Get rid of Hibberts worthless sorry ass
    Get Rid of Nick Young

    Let Clarkson go....( really love the kid but the more I watch the more he's limited)

    Bring in Kevin Durant
    Bring in Hassan Whiteside 7 footer from Miami
    Bring in Rondo to play point
    Sign Nicolas Batum and Bring Randle off the Bench
    Bring D'Angelo off the bench and force him to compete with Rondo like we did with Kobe and Eddie Jones

    Keep Lou Wiliams
    Get the #1 or 2 pick in the draft

    Bring Kobe back for 10 million (if he plays team ball like he's doing now)
    If Kobe comes back after announcing his retirement it would be awesome he could then go out like Mayweather...all he needs to do is write another poem on how the game called him back for one more season...

    Forgot about Whiteside - Heat can't afford him because of D-Whistle. I said Boogie because I still think he the best center in the game and Karl hates him (I'd send a package featuring Randal and Sacre for him ) and keep Nance Jr. Do it Mitch.

    I'm interested to see what KD does tbh. If he were staying,wouldn't he already have signed a max extension by now?

    I agree I'd take Boogie first but unless we depart with the pick in this upcoming draft and Randle they aren't dealing...I say wait till the season of his impending free agency when the Kings Will panic because they know he's leaving..right now they have a little leverage..if we can get Whiteside now and pair him with Boogie after another year we'd have the best front court in the league...with KD and D'Angelo and still have our coveted pick this upcoming season....Ohh and Julius Randle Will still be around unless we trade him and Nance for Boogie.....Vlade is a dam fool who thinks he's going to fleece us but in the end we will get Boogie while his dumb ass is left holding the bag

    Rondo is balling again. I could see D'Angelo learning from him for 2 years then taking over.

    Agreed. I'd be interested to see how this shakes out this summer. Tank Commander (AKA "Coach" Scott) gotta do his job and help us keep The Pick!. Mitch's pitch to KD: "we drafting that LSU kid. What two max players you want?"

    Not sure about that. Dan Gilbert and Mark Cuban happened. Even after the owners tried to block us with the new CBA, Mitch still pulled the CP3 deal outta his ass. This after The Gift! from Memphis that led to 2 more rangs. Mitch is a cap genius. For me, he gotta stay. We are building our roster thru the draft, but if a deal comes along that improves us he'll find it. Takes two (GMs) to tango though.

    If you're lucky enough to get Simmons then no need to go after KD. Russ will be better than Rondo and I stay far away from Cousins. That has an extremely bad at ude. I'd make offers to Derozen or Beal but it will all come down to that pick.

    Mitch seems like he no longer gets it....he's chasing chasing chasing..I just don't see the vision like Jerry West had....there's something he's missing...just like I layed out...he should be going after Whiteside and Durant to pair them with Boogie...I seriously doubt Whiteside is even in his radar and he should be...great defensive player....

    Mitch is blind in my view...he's been star chasing along with the Buss kids...they're all inept....right now BSPN is telling them what they should do....its travesty...I no longer believe in Mitch not at all....

    He's lost his way and to me its glaring

    If we don't get the number 1 pick how do we land him? Is he projected at #3

    Mitch was trying to please Kobe. Now that Kobe's gone he can go back to his real job.

    Russ will be better than Rondo but right now he's not he needs a dawg to teach him how to be a ing man in the league....Kobe is trying...thats why I say bring Kobe back 1 more season and add Rondo to the fold to teach these young s how to play....they need to get in D'Angelo's ass tbh...too ing soft....

    Boogie has a bad at ude right now..because of where he is...there's no tradition in Sacramento to respect tbh...I personally love his edgy at ude with all of our former star vets in his head dude would beast in LA....you should rethink your position big homie....

    Whiteside and Boggie would be ing unstoppable especially in the West....we'd slow down all that oposing team guard play due to pounding the paint and render the Spurs all but ineffective....

    The only way we get him is with the #1 pick.

    Can't disagree with that tbh, but it:

    Russell
    Derozan
    Simmons
    KD
    Whiteside

    Let's do this.
