Yuse guys kinda have a little bit of a squad that could use an Alpha piece or 2 before they're back in the POs...but Lonzo... ...
Eh because basketball in Laker land has too much history. Eventually some head will form a super team here too so they can look like heroes forever and rise the lakers again.

Magic is the American dream don't get me wrong but he strikes me as a bit dumb for the job. Look at his previous tweets about who he would draft. It's a reflection of his lack of knowledge on talent.
also raising that lagoon creature he calls a son should automatically eliminate him from raising the baby lakers into adults
Do you think they are showcasing someone for a trade?
One never knows truly.
Julius Randle for Kyle Anderson would be an upgrade worth the Spurs exploring.
nah, it's just luke's rotations. he usually sits guys who are playing well. see randle, clarkson and kuuzz
Don’t know what OP is talking about. I’ve done a 180 on Randle. He’s still got work to do on offense with his shooting, but his ability to be an impact defensive player has me thinking he will be a legit nba player.
He’s really like a Draymond lite and he plays with consistent energy now and can really impact the game defensively. I think he’s having a damn solid year.
Actually, I agree with DPG and Clipper Nation. He's starting to look like a player who can help you. Of course, the Lakers didn't extend him, and his QO will take something like $12 million in cap space. I suspect they will make him a UFA by not extending the QO; some team might get a cheap bargain next year - his first three years have been a bit brutal and he might not get big offers. If I was him, I would want out of LA, to a non-dysfunctional team. Picking a good coach and situation could salvage his career. Will he put situation above cash; I think he should.
the contract situation, as well as the lakers wanting to pursue stars next summer is really why I wondered if he was being showcased. I don't watch the Lakers so it is a curiosity.
OP is high right now tbh, Randle has been one of the best lakers this season, he still has some dumb plays here and here , but his defense is much improved , and it seems he’s settling into the bench role. I still wish he would try and use his off hand more when he’s finishing around the rim. I believe this will get better hopefully with time.
yeah. offensively, he just needs to develop a floater/teardrop. one thing I hate about him is the way he always barrels in the paint because it's an automatic turnover. he's been in the league 4 years and he knows that movie yields little success but he keeps doing it.
he's been somewhat reliable in the mid range game and his efficiency is at a career high. randle is a guy you'd love to have coming off the bench. he does everything well. if it wasn't for dengs contract, I'd be all in re-signing this guy.
The Kobe Effect
This is the biggest concern, it was really bad the past 2 years, but its lessened. Hopefully with more experience he will learn to play more under control. Im hoping Deng is packaged with someone to trade , i want to resign him as well.
