The Lakers doesn't need a pick anyways, they could attract players from the free agency better than the Spurs. Besides, they suck developing players from the lottery pick, maybe one of the reason is due to the pressure that they're playing in LA.
Right call with the Dubs out of the picture for now. Better to have a bird in the hand than two in the bush, etc.

Even if that's the case that's a chance highly worth taking to win in the next 2-3 years. With Davis and James in hand and a 30% max slot left to spend they're going to land at least one one other strong player this summer too. Plus they'll get some ring chasing vets with Golden State's chances dead next season.
Agreed, but it also makes sense for the Pelicans. Still hate the trade, but now I see how it makes sense for the Pelicans.
It’s so damning of LAs youth that they couldn’t make the playoffs with Bron and swapping them all for just AD makes them le favorites lmao
Picks are very valuable but no got no good players. And they fit awful. Zo can’t shoot. Ingram can’t shoot. Zion is an ok shooter.
They can still land a marquee free agent though can't they? 3-peat if they land Kawhi tbh
They had no choice tbh. If you sign lebron you have to go all in. The league will be as open as ever next season tbh.
For sure but it’s already made la betting favorites before that. But yup, there is still a very real poss that LA can get another max player. But it’s not guaranteed - depends on how and when this actually goes down. They could have anywhere from 24M to 32M
LA had no choice is right. They landed Bron and missed playoffs. Their team was in shambles. Their front office was a laughing stock and they’ve known the youth wasn’t worth a thing.
If they whiffed on AD not only would free agency be a disaster but the youth would probably demand a trade to since the relationship would be beyond repair.
So who will be the Fakers point guard? LeBron has always needed an outstanding point guard.
I bet Trevor ariza goes ring chasing with the lakers
Yall are going to be wrong about Ingram and Lonzo.
Lakers can't even make a playoffs with those lottery bound players - they did okay and will be fine besides they can still attract a player from the free agency. Not unless AD got injured mid-way in the season but the Lakers did the right thing. Time will tell if they actually loses the trade. In today's generation, it's hard to get a player who acts like an alpha - most of them are no longer plays for compe ion and are just contented getting paid.
Ya it was a no brainer for LA since they suck at player development anyways and didn’t give any good players. lol
Definitely gonna be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully they crash and burn.
would be funny if the Lakers snatch Bogdanovic
If Lakers have any injuries, they will be screwed due to a lack of depth. Where as New Orleans is on a nice path to building a well rounded "team" with good youth and potential. They maybe 3 years away from contending.
I don't know why anybody here is critical of them adding to the pieces in place. They have a ton of cap space and almost every good 3-and-D wing is a free agent. Add Marcus Morris and Danny Green and voila. Bring back Rondo and there you go. PG will be the key position for LA, hopefully they won't be able to sign an All-Star. I could see Ariza and Jeff Green joining them on cheap deals. Their bench would probably be trash, but they will still be a playoff team. How the did they not give up Kuzma?
What will be funny is if one of these picks LA gave NO turns into Bron Jr when he’s drafted lol
Anyway NO takes Demarr for the 4? Woj says they want a veteran all star.
I just hope LaVar and Lonzo can survive those cold, snowy New Orleans winters tbh........
Lakers are getting Kawhi too. Just a bad feeling. All the signs have been there.
Kyrie/kemba or bust for la
Sheesh, when you put it like that.....
Although, I do think DeAndre Hunter has all-star/Bruce Bowen or Quitter lockdown defensive potential but would be a massive reach at #4.
That guy, Quitter Leonard, who everyone is proclaiming is "the best player in the NBA," says o.
