LINK: http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2...161.1451872745Somewhat lost in Kobe Bryant's magical 60-point farewell performance were the major question marks about who will take his mantle as the next Los Angeles Lakers superstar. Could it be the flashy and promising D'Angelo Russell? Will Julius Randle exceed all expectations and develop into a franchise cornerstone? Or will it be a team effort from that lottery pick pairing, flanked by Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance, Jr., and any other pieces added to supplement that young core?
According to former Lakers great and soon to be Hall of Fame center Shaquille O'Neal, the team's next superstar isn't on their roster yet, but will be this summer.
When asked where Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant will play next season, Shaq paused, smiled, and named the team he won three les with at the turn of the Century. "The Los Angeles Lakers," said O'Neal.
Most would assume this is just a prediction from O'Neal rather than actual reporting, but those would be ignoring the close sources Shaq has around Oklahoma City.
Discuss sons.

Durant is not going to LA. Even the Warriors stuff is overblown.
We can sign 3 max players.
Stranger things have happened. If we can get him help in the form of 2 other max players, why wouldn't he consider the Lakers?
lol you only have room for two max players. Homie ain't coming to play for Byron Scott. Lakers will max Whiteside and Derozan.
Byron Scott ain't staying son.
And are you sure only 2 max players?
He needs to follow LeBron wherever he goes
Don't think they aren't talking about it.
Yes only 2.
I'm gone leave this right here:
KD gets $22M, Whiteside gets $16M, Derozan gets $19M. That's ~$59M for 3 max players. We have over $65M in cap space. You were saying?![]()
thinking KD is signing for 22 million under the new cap
![]()
Maybe, maybe not. I said we can sign 3. You said only 2. We'll see if Shaq is right.![]()
lol kd signing to play with derozan and whiteside? who are inferior to westbrick + chewbaca?
You're playing checkers. Whiteside is the best defensive big in the game. Derozan is a 2guard, not PG. We got the snitch for that.![]()
shaq recruiting,
how come the cripple isnt recruiting?
The Begging: a tradition unlike any other.
We ain't Keith Sweat!![]()
You might not be Keith Sweat, but you're definitely Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

Lakers have a ton of money now and some good youth pieces in Russell, Nance Jr, Randleman, and Jordan Clarkson. First we need to get a very good coach and there isnt much out there sadly. Eventually, a few superstars are going to band together in LA and make a few le runs. It's one of the reasons why I am really happy Kobe is retired...it wasnt good for anyone at this point.
There is a huge jump in the cap for 2016-17. Durant's max will be around $27 million for the first year. So will DeRozan's. Whiteside's would be $23 million. The ~$65 million cap number is about right after factoring in the cap holds for the 6 empty roster spots the Lakers would have, but that's $77 million in salary for those three.
Randle is Garbage, and Clarkson will command a near max salary.
Shaq: LA Lakers ambassador, tbh.
If someone pays Whiteside $23 mil....
