I’m definitely in full support of that move. It feels realistic and would be a great fit next to Lebron and AD in the frontcourt. _________________ Lakers Offseason Goal:
- Draft Zach Edey (or Kel'el Ware)
- Sign Jonas Valanciunas or Nicolas Claxton
- sign and trade DLO to not lose value
- sign a coach that’s not an idiot
Call it an offseason |

Agreed. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

All I read there was that due to them having interest in him in the past
The writer assumes/speculated they will target him. |

He'd be fine, but full MLE feels too rich for a guy who's a C at this point in his career. _________________ Under New Management |

Sure is. Can't imagine another team giving him more than the full MLE.

I can imagine teams giving him the full MLE. The Lakers shouldn't be one of them because...you know... Anthony Davis. _________________ Under New Management |

Ibaka for the MLE is an absolute steal. That would be a pandemic miracle. This is a $20 million a year guy in normal circumstances. |

I would fire the GM who would give Ibaka 20m (even in normal conditions)
SB is a decent player but I'm not losing sleep or jumping for joy about him being a Laker. |

I disagree with you completely. Ibaka is a 7-footer who plays great defense, can protect the rim, and hits three-pointers. He is the ideal player for the modern NBA.
Dismissing him as "decent" makes me think you don't know much about basketball.
it's like saying Teddy Roosevelt was a "decent" president or Gene Hackman is a "decent" actor. It shows a certain cluelessness on your part. |

Yeah well Mitch gave Timofey Mozgov 64 mil over 4 years.......so yeah, Ibaka's wouldn't be the worst decision |

I'd prefer someone who can run the offense, an elite young shooter, or Gallinari for the full MLE. _________________ Under New Management |

Serge Ibaka just started following the Lakers on Twitter. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Ideal pairing with AD. Draws the bigs that wear Davis down plus hits long or midrange. I know we talk AD at C in a closing lineup but depth at C (any of Cousis, Howard, Davis or a ring chaser) allows Davis to butcher 4's more often. Get the 2 way swingman in trade and be happy with Ibaka. |

Let's not compare Serge to Roosevelt and Hackman lol
He's an above average role player... I think there are better options than him but if we pick him up I won't be mad |

That’s about as blatant as it gets. Only team he’s following is the Lakers. |

Damn he did unfollow the Raptors. Sounds like a deal could be agreed upon. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

If we do indeed sign Ibaka using our MLE, I wonder how we will sign that 3-and-D wing we also really need. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |

All that talk about teams already making agreements might be true. And it might start with Serge. |
